We present GHand, a GPU algorithm for markerless hand pose estimation from a single depth image obtained from a commodity depth camera. Our method uses a dual random forest approach: the first forest estimates position and ...

In an interactive graphics environment, a random-access metafile has advantages over the usual serial type. A description is given of the use of such an interactive metafile in the GHOST-80 graphics system, together with ...

Large-scale tasks in the field, such as site investigation or civil engineering projects, require workers to have a certain level of situational awareness. However, the coverage area is too broad to investigate at once in ...

As assyriologists have to handle tremendous amounts of important documents of ancient history written in cuneiform script, like the epic of Gilgamesh, we are developing an efficent system to support their daily tasks. ...

The 3D cloth segmentation task is particularly challenging due to the extreme variation of shapes, even among the same category of clothes. Several data-driven methods try to cope with this problem but they have to face ...

Research in environmental archaeology and historical ecology provides valuable information about past vegetation and its activation related to past societies activities. Different tools are use in order to better describe ...

Structure from Motion (SfM) is one of the trendiest techniques in archaeology today. Archaeologists across the world are increasingly applying techniques of digital photogrammetry to record archaeological sites in ...

In this paper we describe a GKS implementation made at ECMWF and we point out some problems encountered related to the definition of GKS 6.2 and to the necessity to adapt to the meteorogical applications.
