Every year, for ten years now, the IPIN competition has aimed at evaluating real-world indoor localisation systems by testing them in a realistic environment, with movement, using EvAAL framework. The provided unique overview of state-of-the-art systems, technologies, and methods positioning navigation purposes. Through fair comparison performance achieved each system, was able to identify most promising approaches pinpoint critical working conditions. In 2020, included 5 diverse off-site...
We present a process for rendering realistic facial performance with control of viewpoint and illumination. The is based on one or more high-quality geometry reflectance scans an actor in static poses, driven by video streams performance. compute optical flow correspondences between neighboring frames, sparse set frames. latter are made possible leveraging the relightability 3D to match viewpoint(s) appearance videos taken arbitrary environments. As tends proper correspondence some areas but...
Abstract This study introduces service robots to a restaurant company reduce work hours and improve quality. The industry must enhance productivity because it is the lowest in industry, but quality crucially important factor for added value. An automated guided vehicle (AGV) system stores was developed used Japanese cuisine restaurant. Service operations were changed. Work hour reduction confirmed. Sales per labor calculated confirm enhancement. Furthermore, staff working time place are...
Overview In 2008, the "Digital Emily" project [Alexander et al. 2009] showed how a set of high-resolution facial expressions scanned in light stage could be rigged into real-time photoreal digital character and driven with video-based animation techniques. However, Digital Emily was rendered offline, involved just front face, never seen tight closeup. this collaboration between Activision USC ICT shown at SIGGRAPH 2013's Real-Time Live venue, we endeavoured to create real-time, human which...
The main objectives of this project, launched in July 2021, is to mitigate and solve issues regarding health care services such as rehabilitation specific guidance while alleviating spatio-temporal, economic, cognitive constraints by establishing remote technology foundation. There are four themes project. In theme #1, we have been developing the MR <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">3</sup> devices consisting Wear Mannequin for...
This paper presents a novel method for detecting the floor level of smartphone user in an indoor environment based on atmospheric pressure measured with sensors user's smartphone. Atmospheric is one most informative factors when estimating altitude, because its relative variation has strong correlation changes altitude. However, it difficult to directly estimate altitude observation absolute via smartphones, owing individual differences and climate. In this paper, we propose robust by...
The performance of indoor localization methods is highly dependent on the situations in which they are used. Various competitions have been held for fairly comparing existing shared and controlled testing environments. However, it difficult to evaluate practical industrial scenarios through competitions. This paper introduces two competitions, named “PDR Challenge Warehouse Picking 2017” “xDR Operations 2018” tracking workers vehicles a warehouse scenario. For PDR 2017, we conducted unique...
Creating and animating realistic 3D human faces is an important element of virtual reality, video games, other areas that involve interactive graphics. In this paper, we propose a system to generate photorealistic blendshape-based face models automatically using only single consumer RGB-D sensor. The capture processing requires no artistic expertise operate, takes 15 seconds facial expression, approximately 1 minute time per expression transform it into blendshape model. Our main...
In this paper, we introduce the outline of "The MR-PreViz Project" performed in Japan. pre-production process filmmaking, Pre Viz, pre-visualizing desired scene by CGI, is used as a new technique. As its advanced approach, propose that utilized mixed reality technology current PreViz. makes it possible to merge real background and computer-generated humans creatures open set or at outdoor location. The user can consider camerawork camera blocking efficiently using MR-PreViz. This paper...
Head-mounted cameras are an increasingly important tool for capturing facial performances to drive virtual characters. They provide a fixed, unoccluded view of the face, useful observing motion capture dots or as input video analysis. However, 2D imagery captured with these systems is typically affected by ambient light and generally fails record subtle 3D shape changes face performs. We have developed system that augments head-mounted camera LED-based photometric stereo. The allows...
Creating and animating a realistic 3D human face has been an important task in computer graphics. The capability of capturing the subject reanimate it quickly will find many applications games, training simulations, interactive In this paper, we propose system to capture photorealistic faces generate blendshape models automatically using only single commodity RGB-D sensor. Our method can rapidly set expressive facial poses from Microsoft Kinect requires no artistic expertise on part subject....
We present a technique for creating realistic facial animation from set of high-resolution static scans an actor's face driven by passive video the actor one or more viewpoints. capture geometry using multi-view stereo and gradient-based photometric [Ghosh et al. 2011]. The scan includes around 30 expressions largely inspired Facial Action Coding System (FACS). Examples input can be seen in Figure 1 (a). base topology is defined artist neutral each subject. dynamic performance shot under...
PreViz is a computer graphics movie that represents desired scenes in preproduction and useful for sharing the director's imagination among crews. Therefore, film industry looks upon as one of most important processes filmmaking become complicated [The Previs Society 2011]. Stereoscopic 3D (S3D) production not only changed ways expressiveness but also tools. Consequently, it requires more careful planning still important. This paper describes prototype S3D MR-PreViz system HD shooting using...
We have been developing a mixed reality system to support road maintenance using overlaid visual aids. Such requires positioning method that can provide sub-meter accuracy and function even if the appearance of surface changes significantly caused by many factors such as construction phase, time weather. Therefore, we are real-time worker be applied these situation integrating laser range finder (LRF) pedestrian dead-reckoning (PDR) data. In field, multiple workers move around workspace. it...
