Despite the wide availability of large motion databases, and recent advances in exploiting them to create tailored contents, artists still spend tremendous efforts editing adapting existing character animations new contexts. This problem is a well-addressed research topic. Yet only few approaches have considered influence camera angle, resulting visual features it yields, as mean control warp a...

Visual stimulation with precise control of stimulus has transformed the field of psychophysics since the introduction of personal computers. Luminance and chromatic features of stimulus, timing, and position of the stimulus are the main features that could be defined using programs written specifically for psychophysical experiments. In this manuscript, software used for the psychophysical expe...

We present new experimental and mathematical techniques aimed at determining the features used in visual object recognition. We conceive of these features as the parts of an object that are treated as unitary wholes when recognizing or discriminating visual objects. For example, consider a task classifying a visual target presented in pixel noise as a "P" or a "Q". The features may correspond t...

The digital environment has an ever increasing amount smart programs. Programs that also get smarter every day. They help us filtering spam e-mail and they adjust to show us personalized advertisements. These smart programs observe people and serve (other) people. A robot can be seen as a program with a body. Make the program smart enough and it can help us in the real world too. The smartest p...

Among the recent trends in real-time visual SLAM, there has been a move towards the construction of structure-rich maps. By using landmarks more descriptive than point features, such as line or surface segments, larger parts of the scene can be represented in a compact form. This minimises redundancy and might allow applications such as object detection and path planning. In this paper, we prop...

A vessel navigating in a critical environment such as an archipelago requires very accurate movement estimates. Intentional or unintentional jamming makes GPS unreliable as the only source of information and an additional independent supporting navigation system should be used. In this paper, we suggest estimating the vessel movements using a sequence of radar images from the preexisting body-f...
