    摘要: Online camera calibration methods have been proposed whereby calibration information is extracted from the images that the system captures during normal operation and is used to continually update system parameters. However, such existing methods do not cope well with structure-poor scenes having little texture and/or 3D structure such as in a home or office environment. By considering camera families (a set of cameras that are manufactured at least partially in a common manner) it is possible to provide calibration methods which are suitable for use with structure-poor scenes. A prior distribution of camera parameters for a family of cameras is estimated and used to obtain accurate calibration results for individual cameras of the camera family even where the calibration is carried out online, in an environment which is structure-poor.

    摘要: Predicting joint positions is described, for example, to find joint positions of humans or animals (or parts thereof) in an image to control a computer game or for other applications. In an embodiment image elements of a depth image make joint position votes so that for example, an image element depicting part of a torso may vote for a position of a neck joint, a left knee joint and a right knee joint. A random decision forest may be trained to enable image elements to vote for the positions of one or more joints and the training process may use training images of bodies with specified joint positions. In an example a joint position vote is expressed as a vector representing a distance and a direction of a joint position from an image element making the vote. The random decision forest may be trained using a mixture of objectives.

    摘要: Existing remote workspace sharing systems are difficult to use. For example, changes made on a common work product by one user often appear abruptly on displays viewed by remote users. As a result the interaction is perceived as unnatural by the users and is often inefficient. Images of a display of a common work product are received from a camera at a first location. These images may also comprise information about objects between the display and the camera such as a user's hand editing a document on a tablet PC. These images are combined with images of the shared work product and displayed at remote locations. Advance information about remote user actions is then visible and facilitates collaborative mediation between users. Depth information may be used to influence the process of combining the images.

    摘要: Foreground and background image segmentation is described. In an example, a seed region is selected in a foreground portion of an image, and a geodesic distance is calculated from each image element to the seed region. A subset of the image elements having a geodesic distance less than a threshold is determined, and this subset of image elements are labeled as foreground. In another example, an image element from an image showing at least a user, a foreground object in proximity to the user, and a background is applied to trained decision trees to obtain probabilities of the image element representing one of these items, and a corresponding classification assigned to the image element. This is repeated for each image element. Image elements classified as belonging to the user are labeled as foreground, and image elements classified as foreground objects or background are labeled as background.
