Abstract:

<p> Finding what attracts attention is an important task for visual processing. The visual saliency detection finds location of focus of visual attention on the most important or stand-out object in an image or a video sequence. These stand-out objects are composed of regions or superpixels. Moreover, the fixations occur in clusters, which are simulated using superpixels, where superpixels are clusters of pixels bound by the Gestalt principle for perceptual grouping. The visual saliency detection algorithms presented in the dissertation build on the premise that salient regions are high in c

Abstract:

With the increasing amount of data and the growing computing power, deep learning techniques using deep neural networks (DNNs) have been successfully applied in many practical artificial intelligence applications. The mini-batch stochastic gradient descent (SGD) algorithm and its variants are the most widely used algorithms in training deep models. The SGD algorithm is an iterative algorithm that needs to update the model parameters many times by traversing the training data, which is very time-consuming even using the single powerful GPU or TPU. Therefore, it becomes a common practice to expl

As general purpose robots become more capable, pre-programming of all tasks at the factory will become less practical. We would like for non-technical human owners to be able to communicate, through interaction with their robot, the details of a new task; I call this interaction "task communication". During task communication the robot must infer the details of the task from unstructured human signals, and it must choose actions that facilitate this inference. In this dissertation I propose the use of a partially observable Markov decision process (POMDP) for representing the task communicatio

This thesis investigates the viability of a new communication medium for telepresence, namely a robotic head with a 3D face mask. In order to investigate this, a program was developed for an existing social robot, enabling the robot to be used as a device reflecting the facial movements of the operator. A study is performed with the operator located in front of a computer with a web camera, connected to speak through the robot to two interlocutors located in a room with the robot. This setup is then compared to a regular video call. The results from this study show that the robot improves the

Abstract:

Implementing a real-time image-processing algorithm on a serial processor is difficult to achieve because such a processor cannot cope with the volume of data in the low-level operations. However, a parallel implementation, required to meet timing constraints for the low-level operations, results in low resource utilisation when implementing the high-level operations. These factors suggested a combination of parallel hardware, for the low-level operations, and a serial processor, for the high-level operations, for implementing a high-level image-processing algorithm.

This research work is focused on understanding the effects of inhomogeneity on traffic flow by theoretical analysis and computer simulations.

For these various traffic, basic and emer- gent phenomena, modelling methods, theoretical analysis and physical meanings are normally concerned. Inhomogeneity like bottlenecks may cause traffic congestions or motor protein crowding. The crowded protein motors may lead to some human diseases. The congested

Abstract:

As computers have become more and more advanced, with even the most basic computer capable of tasks almost unimaginable only a decade ago, researchers and developers are focusing on improving the way that computers interact with people in their everyday lives. A core goal, therefore, is to develop a computer system which can understand and react appropriately to natural human behavior. A key requirement for such a system is the ability to automatically, and in real time, recognises human facial expressions. In addition, this must be successfully achieved regardless of the inherent differences

Abstract:

This dissertation describes how state of the art computer music technology can be used to digitize, analyze, preserve and extend North Indian classical music performance. Custom built controllers, influenced by the Human Computer Interaction (HCI) community, serve as new interfaces to gather musical gestures from a performing artist. Designs on how to modify a Tabla, Dholak, and Sitar with sensors and electronics are described. Experiments using wearable sensors to capture ancillary gestures of a human performer are also included. A twelve-armed solenoid-based robotic drummer was built to perf

Abstract:

<div> <div> <div> <p>An RGBZ synthetic dataset consisting of five object classes in a variety of virtual environments and orientations was combined with a small sample of real-world image data and used to train the Mask R-CNN (MR-CNN) architecture in a variety of configurations. When the MR-CNN architecture was initialized with MS COCO weights and the heads were trained with a mix of synthetic data and real world data, F1 scores improved in four of the five classes: The average maximum F1-score of all classes and all epochs for the networks trained with synthetic data is F1∗ = 0.91, compared t
