This paper describes a novel approach to detecting orientation and identity of robots using a global vision system. Instead of additional markers, the original shape of the robot is used to determine an orientation using a general Hough transform. In addition the movement history as well as the command history are used to calculate the quadrant of the orientation as well as the identity of the ...

One of the most crucial techniques associated with Computer Vision is technology that deals with the automatic estimation of gaze orientation. In this paper, a method is proposed to estimate horizontal gaze orientation from a monocular camera image using the parameters of Active Appearance Models (AAM) selected based on several model selection methods. The proposed method can estimate horizonta...

Network orientation is a fundamental step in image-based 3D measurement. This paper aims to offer insights into network orientation by considering developments in analytical close-range photogrammetry during its evolution from a film-based to digital image-based measurement technology suited to full process automation. A brief mathematical background to orientation models derived via perspectiv...

Trajectory orientation is a procedural concept that enables en route controllers to plan and coordinate trajectories across sector boundaries while efficiently maintaining separation and conforming to flow-rate constraints. Today’s sector-oriented procedures are characterized by an emphasis on controller actions to protect their sector’s internal airspace. In contrast, a trajectory orientation ...

This study examines relationships among health information orientation, situational perceptual frames, and active information behaviors pertinent to the safety controversy of genetically-modified (GM) food technology. A web survey was conducted in the US (N = 393). Based on our findings, an integrative model of Kim and Grunig’s (2011) Situational Theory of Problem Solving (STOPS) and Dutta-Berg...

Orientation sensing is considered an important means to implement embedded technology enhanced artifacts (often referred to as ‘smart artifacts’), exhibiting embodied means of interaction based on their position, orientation, and the respective dynamics. Considering artifacts subject to manual (or ‘by-hand’) manipulation by the user, we identify hand worn, hand carried and (hand) graspable real...
