Towards constructing one-bit binary adder in excitable chemical medium (2011)
Journal Article
The light-sensitive modification (ruthenium catalysed) of the Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction exhibits various excitability regimes depending on the level of illumination. Within a narrow range of applied illumination levels the medium is in a sub-exci... Read More about Towards constructing one-bit binary adder in excitable chemical medium.

Adaptive cancelation of self-generated sensory signals in a whisking robot (2010)
Journal Article
Sensory signals are often caused by ones own active movements. This raises a problem of discriminating between self-generated sensory signals and signals generated by the external world. Such discrimination is of general importance for robotic system... Read More about Adaptive cancelation of self-generated sensory signals in a whisking robot.
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...

Biologically inspired 3D face recognition from surface normals (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
A major consideration in state-of-the-art face recognition systems is the amount of data that is required to represent a face. Even a small (64 × 64) photograph of a face has 2 12 dimensions in which a face may sit. When large (> 1MB) photographs of...

Enhanced 3D curvature pattern and melanoma diagnosis (2011)
Journal Article
This article describes an enhanced curvature pattern based melanoma diagnosis system using convolution techniques and ensemble classifiers. We extract the 3. D data of melanoma with a photometric stereo device first. Then differential forms of the me... Read More about Enhanced 3D curvature pattern and melanoma diagnosis.
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...

Multi-scale depth from slope with weights (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
We describe a robust method to recover the depth coordinate from a normal or slope map of a scene, obtained e.g. through photometric stereo or interferometry. The key feature of our method is the fast solution of the Poisson-like integration equation... Read More about Multi-scale depth from slope with weights.
Design principles for safety in human-robot interaction (2010)
Journal Article
The interaction of humans and robots has the potential to set new grounds in industrial applications as well as in service robotics because it combines the strengths of humans, such as flexibility and adaptability, and the strengths of robots, such a...

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...

3D face reconstructions from photometric stereo using near infrared and visible light (2010)
Journal Article
This paper seeks to advance the state-of-the-art in 3D face capture and processing via novel Photometric Stereo (PS) hardware and algorithms. The first contribution is a new high-speed 3D data capture system, which is capable of acquiring four raw im...

Physarum machines: Computers from slime mould (2010)
Book
A Physarum machine is a programmable amorphous biological computer experimentally implemented in the vegetative state of true slime mould Physarum polycephalum. It comprises an amorphous yellowish mass with networks of protoplasmic veins, programmed... Read More about Physarum machines: Computers from slime mould.

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...

Computation with competing patterns in life-like automaton (2010)
Book Chapter
We study a Life-like cellular automaton rule B2/S2345 where a cell in state `0' takes state `1' if it has exactly two neighbors in state `1' and the cell remains in the state `1' if it has between two and five neighbors in state `1.' This automaton i... Read More about Computation with competing patterns in life-like automaton.
Operating binary strings using gliders and eaters in reaction-diffusion cellular automaton (2010)
Journal Article
We study transformations of 2-, 4- and 6-bit numbers in interactions between traveling and stationary localizations in the Spiral Rule reaction-diffusion cellular automaton. The Spiral Rule automaton is a hexagonal ternary-state two-dimensional cellu... Read More about Operating binary strings using gliders and eaters in reaction-diffusion cellular automaton.
