Augmented reality (AR) has proven to be an invaluable interactive medium to reduce
cognitive load by bridging the gap between the task-at-hand and relevant information by …

Heterogeneous face recognition (HFR) refers to matching face imagery across different
domains. It has received much interest from the research community as a result of its …

This paper addresses the problem of real-time 3D model-based tracking by combining point-
based and edge-based tracking systems. We present a careful analysis of the properties of …

A robotic gras** simulator, called Graspit!, is presented as versatile tool for the gras**
community. The focus of the grasp analysis has been on force-closure grasps, which are …

Many applications require tracking of complex 3D objects. These include visual servoing of
robotic arms on specific target objects, Augmented Reality systems that require real-time …

We present an effective way to combine the information provided by edges and by feature
points for the purpose of robust real-time 3-D tracking. This lets our tracker handle both …

In this paper, we propose the combined use of complementary concepts for 3D tracking:
region fitting on one side and dense optical flow as well as tracked SIFT features on the …

This paper introduces a framework of automatic object recognition and rapid surface
modeling to aid the heavy equipment operation in rapidly perceiving 3D working …

This report contains a review of visual tracking in monocular video sequences. For the
purpose of this review, the majority of the visual trackers in the literature are divided into …

Describes a synergistic integration of a gras** simulator and a real-time visual tracking
system, that work in concert to (1) find an object's pose,(2) plan grasps and movement …
