    摘要: An interface is presented that can be used by those with little or no computer skills and little or no reading skills. In an exemplary embodiment, the icon pictures are detailed enough that they do not need text to be understood. Most icons do not require that they be clicked to be selected, rather they select on cursor hover. When an icon is hovered over, in an exemplary embodiment, it increases in size to make it easier for a user to select it. The interface has a help function that provides a voice that tells the function of an icon when the icon is moused over or otherwise tentatively chosen by a user. The help function voice may be accompanied by a virtual companion a picture of a person, who, in some embodiments, is animated and appears to be speaking the help text.

    摘要: The present invention includes in a system and method for estimating and tracking an orientation of a user's face by combining head tracking and face detection techniques. The orientation of the face, or facial pose, can be expressed in terms of pitch, roll and yaw of the user's head. Facial pose information can be used, for example, to ascertain in which direction the user is looking. In general, the facial pose estimation method obtains a position of the head and a position of the face and compares the two to obtain the facial pose. In particular, a camera is used to obtain an image containing a user's head. Any movement of the user's head is tracked and the head position is determined. A face then is detected on the head and the face position is determined. The head and face positions then are compared.

    摘要: An example-based filling system identifies appropriate filling material to replace a destination region in an image and fills the destination region using this material, thereby alleviating or minimizing the amount of manual editing required to fill a destination region in image. Tiles of image data are borrowed from the proximity of the destination region or some other source to generate new image data to fill in the region. Destination regions may be designated by user input (e.g., selection of an image region by a user) or by other means (e.g., specification of a color or feature to be replaced). In addition, the order in which the destination region is filled by example tiles may be configured to emphasize the continuity of linear structures and composite textures using a type of isophote-driven image-sampling process.

    摘要: A system and process for controlling common information displays, referred to as shared displays, is presented. The system and process allows multiple modes of input using a set of modules that accept and display data from a variety of sources. Input modules are able to understand data from a single mode of communication and to be able to generate messages as output accordingly. An optional translation module takes discrete message units and converts them into commands or requests that can be processed by a logic module. The logic module includes any application that is running on the shared display. A layout module lays out the information output by the logic module and a display module takes the layout data and converts the information to a form that can be readily displayed on a display device.

    摘要: Computerized aesthetic judgment of images is disclosed. In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method inputs a training set of images, where each image has a corresponding set of aesthetic scores. The method trains a classifier based on the training set, and outputs the classifier. An image can then be input into the classifier, such that an aesthetic score for the image is generated by the classifier and output. Furthermore, recommendations can be generated to improve the aesthetic score for the image, which are also output.

    摘要: A system is provided for selecting a foreground region of an image, given a set of pixels defining the boundary of the foreground region of the image. The system includes a component to dilate the pixel set and a component to determine a foreground value (F) and to determine an opacity value (a) based on estimated foreground and background values for each pixel of the dilated set to facilitate a separation of the region from background portions of the image.

    摘要: In a compressor, a yoke constituting a linear drive section together with a driver coil, through which magnetic fluxes from a permanent magnet pass, is integrated with a cylinder and a container. A piston inserted into the cylinder is supported by springs, and the other end thereof faces an operating-gas-compressing space. The linear drive section is arranged parallel to the piston in a diametrical direction thereof. This construction reduces the longitudinal dimension of a piston portion. Further, a plurality of parts is combined together in a main body block, thereby reducing the number of parts required and improving the assembly accuracy.

    摘要: The present invention is embodied in a system and method for efficiently and efficiently performing automated vision tracking, such as tracking human head movement and facial movement. The system and method of the present invention fuses results of multiple sensing modalities to achieve robust digital vision tracking The system and method effectively fuses together the results of multiple vision processing modalities for performing tracking tasks in order to achieve robust vision tracking. The approach integrates reports from several distinct vision processing procedures in a probabilistically coherent manner by performing inferences about the location and/or motion of objects that considers both the individual reports about targets provided by visual processing modalities, as well as inferences about the context-sensitive accuracies of the reports. The context-sensitive accuracies are inferred by observing evidence with relevance to the reliabilities of the different methods.

    摘要: The present invention is embodied in a system and method for automatically detecting desired clusters within a data space with a radial spanning device. The radial spanning system and method finds, within a data space, connected clusters or “blobs” defined by a cluster of data points. Given a probability density on data points for class inclusion and a seed point in the data space, the radial spanning system and method of the present invention finds an approximately, strongly connected cluster of data points of that class. Exploratory spokes are traversed radially outward from the seed point. Each spoke has a start point (seed point) and a final endpoint and is governed by forces based on underlying data space data points, class probability densities, internal expansion, and interspoke springs. The final endpoints of the spokes are connected to form a polygon that circumscribes the cluster of data points found.

    摘要: An instant messaging translation plug-in interacts with an instant messaging program to intercept incoming messages and forward these messages to a language translation service. The plug-in then displays a translation received from the service along with the original message. This provides translation which can be used by instant messaging users to communicate across language barriers, and without local translation or knowledge of the internal workings of the translation services used. Additionally, the translation plug-in also provides for manual translation of messages, which allows communication with users who use a different language but do not use the translation plug-in. Messages are modified before translation in order to correct spelling, to prevent particular words or phrases from being translated, and to change instant messaging language into standard language form. The techniques can be performed on various messaging services, including instant messaging on computers or mobile devices, as well as SMS.
