Family of 2-simplex cognitive tools and their application for decision-making and its justifications
Urgency of application and development of cognitive graphic tools for usage
in intelligent systems of data analysis, decision making and its justifications
is given. Cognitive graphic tool "2-simplex prism" and examples of its usage
are presented. Specificity of program realization of cognitive graphics tools
invariant to problem areas is described. Most significant results are given and
discussed. Future investigations are connected with usage of new approach to
rendering, cross-platform realization, cognitive features improving and
expanding of n-simplex family.Comment: 14 pages, 6 figures, conferenc
RGBD Datasets: Past, Present and Future
Since the launch of the Microsoft Kinect, scores of RGBD datasets have been
released. These have propelled advances in areas from reconstruction to gesture
recognition. In this paper we explore the field, reviewing datasets across
eight categories: semantics, object pose estimation, camera tracking, scene
reconstruction, object tracking, human actions, faces and identification. By
extracting relevant information in each category we help researchers to find
appropriate data for their needs, and we consider which datasets have succeeded
in driving computer vision forward and why.
Finally, we examine the future of RGBD datasets. We identify key areas which
are currently underexplored, and suggest that future directions may include
synthetic data and dense reconstructions of static and dynamic scenes.Comment: 8 pages excluding references (CVPR style
Video Data Visualization System: Semantic Classification And Personalization
We present in this paper an intelligent video data visualization tool, based
on semantic classification, for retrieving and exploring a large scale corpus
of videos. Our work is based on semantic classification resulting from semantic
analysis of video. The obtained classes will be projected in the visualization
space. The graph is represented by nodes and edges, the nodes are the keyframes
of video documents and the edges are the relation between documents and the
classes of documents. Finally, we construct the user's profile, based on the
interaction with the system, to render the system more adequate to its
references.Comment: graphic
Animated virtual agents to cue user attention: comparison of static and dynamic deictic cues on gaze and touch responses
This paper describes an experiment developed to study the performance of virtual agent animated cues within digital interfaces. Increasingly, agents are used in virtual environments as part of the branding process and to guide user interaction. However, the level of agent detail required to establish and enhance efficient allocation of attention remains unclear. Although complex agent motion is now possible, it is costly to implement and so should only be routinely implemented if a clear benefit can be shown. Pevious methods of assessing the effect of gaze-cueing as a solution to scene complexity have relied principally on two-dimensional static scenes and manual peripheral inputs. Two experiments were run to address the question of agent cues on human-computer interfaces. Both experiments measured the efficiency of agent cues analyzing participant responses either by gaze or by touch respectively. In the first experiment, an eye-movement recorder was used to directly assess the immediate overt allocation of attention by capturing the participant’s eyefixations following presentation of a cueing stimulus. We found that a fully animated agent could speed up user interaction with the interface. When user attention was directed using a fully animated agent cue, users responded 35% faster when compared with stepped 2-image agent cues, and 42% faster when compared with a static 1-image cue. The second experiment recorded participant responses on a touch screen using same agent cues. Analysis of touch inputs confirmed the results of gaze-experiment, where fully animated agent made shortest time response with a slight decrease on the time difference comparisons. Responses to fully animated agent were 17% and 20% faster when compared with 2-image and 1-image cue severally. These results inform techniques aimed at engaging users’ attention in complex scenes such as computer games and digital transactions within public or social interaction contexts by demonstrating the benefits of dynamic gaze and head cueing directly on the users’ eye movements and touch responses
