Many people from all over the world have been supplied with mobile terminals, which has increased the computing power of each individual. Based on this increased utilization of mobile terminals, there are new services that are emerging. Also, as user created content (UCC) is becoming widely available, the new era of easily sharing contents with others has started. Also, users prefer realtime UC...

In our case, we want to make it possible for ordinary people to use the computer as an unobtrusive extension of their own capabilities. The computer will materially support an expanded personal information space—one’s knowledge home—and provide the additional processing power needed to structure and manage it. But these resources will have to be matched, on the human individual’s side, by the a...

People re-identification is a fundamental operation for any multi-camera surveillance scenario. Until now, it has been performed by exploiting primarily appearance cues, hypothesizing that the individuals cannot change their clothes. In this paper, we relax this constraint by presenting a set of 3D soft-biometric cues, being insensitive to appearance variations, that are gathered using RGB-D te...

This paper presents an online learning algorithm for appearancebased gaze estimation that allows free head movement in a casual desktop environment. Our method avoids the lengthy calibration stage using an incremental learning approach. Our system keeps running as a background process on the desktop PC and continuously updates the estimation parameters by taking user’s operations on the PC moni...

During the past decade, the computer world has been changing a dramatic change in many aspects. In the past, personal computer was known as a desktop machine that functioned alone. All the resources, data, and computing power were within the same machine. However, in the network world today, more and more computers are connected together through the media to share data and resources or parallel...
