MOBISERV: An integrated intelligent home environment for the provision of health, nutrition and mobility services to the elderly (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Life expectancy increases and the wish to prolong independent living remains strong. To stay as independent as possible gives satisfaction to the individual and reduces costs for society. With advances in information and communication technologies, s...

High speed, multi-scale tracing of curvilinear features with automated scale selection and enhanced orientation computation (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

We propose a new high speed line tracing algorithm based on a well known differential geometric line extraction algorithm. The previously separate steps of line detection and line tracing are performed simultaneously. This allows the exclusion of non...

An efficient and practical 3D face scanner using near infrared and visible photometric stereo (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper is concerned with the acquisition of model data for automatic 3D face recognition applications. As 3D methods become progressively more popular in face recognition research, the need for fast and accurate data capture has become crucial. T...

Safe adaptive compliance control of a humanoid robotic arm with anti-windup compensation and posture control (2010)
Journal Article

Safety is very important for physical human-robot interaction. Compliance control can solve an important aspect of the safety problem by dealing with impact and other forces arising during close contact between humans and robots. An adaptive complian...

Stochastic automated search methods in cellular automata: The discovery of tens of thousands of glider guns (2010)
Journal Article

This paper deals with the spontaneous emergence of glider guns in cellular automata. An evolutionary search for glider guns with different parameters is described and other search techniques are also presented to provide a benchmark. We demonstrate t...
