The Semantic Web vision is to make the Web machine-readable, allowing computers to integrate information from disparate sources to achieve the goals of end users (see Semantic Web Roadmap). By augmenting web pages with descriptions of the content they hol
reacTIVision is an open source, cross-platform computer vision framework for the fast and robust tracking of fiducial markers attached onto physical objects, as well as for multi-touch finger tracking. It was mainly designed as a toolkit for the rapid development of table-based tangible user interfaces (TUI) and multi-touch interactive surfaces. This framework has been developed by Martin Kaltenbrunner and Ross Bencina at the Music Technology Group at the Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona, Spain as part of the the reacTable project, a novel electronic music instrument with a table-top multi-touch tangible user interface.
A linear multi-scale, multi-orientation image decomposition that provides a useful front-end for many computer vision and image-processing applications.
This essay explores development of globally available digital reference works from their first imaginings to contemporary cases. My hope in undertaking such a project is to identify technical and social aspects of digital reference work production that can contribute to an understanding of a prominent contemporary exemplar, the Wikipedia, a free online encyclopedia
Synopsis: Homography transform in Fourier spectrum with application to object recognition. Ideally, recognition of objects should be projection, scale, translation and rotation invariant, just as they are in human vision. This, however, is a very complex problem, since numerous times an object is occluded and many objects rarely appear the same twice, due to different camera/observer positions, variable lighting or object motion. Our goal in this regard is to investigate autonomous object recognition in unconstrained environments by means of outlines of the objects, which we will refer to as the contours. One of the reasons for the popularity of contour-based analysis techniques is that edge detection constitutes an important aspect of shape recognition by the human visual system. The main motivation behind this work is that 2-D homography may overcome the problem of noise sensitivity and boundary variations.
