Nowadays there are games that involving a challenge and using reward system designed to solve problems in several areas. These games, called serious do not put aside the entertainment, although this is their main purpose. Among can be solved or at least mitigated with help of highlighted those health care especially intellectual disabilities. Despite existence variety intended minimize problems, still much work conducted within related deficiency. Thus, study intends investigate evolution...
We present an evolutionary approach for Data Augmentation (DA) in deep Face Detection (FD). The is fully automatic and creates new face instances by recombining facial parts from different faces. explore the selection of that construct each instance using two strategies: random evolutionary. strategy employs a Genetic Algorithm (GA) with fitness assignment based on pre-trained detector. able to find exploit vulnerabilities Then we add these training dataset, retrain detector, analyse...
This paper describes our response to a unique challenge presented by the Portuguese National Press-Mint: use Artificial Intelligence design commemorative coin that celebrates "digital world". We explain process of this coin's co-creation, from conceptualisation production, highlighting process, underlying rationale, key obstacles encountered, and technical innovations developments made meet challenge. These include development an evolutionary art system guided Contrastive Language–Image...
As a significant number of individuals has severe motor disabilities, due to neurological diseases, it is important provide appropriate rehabilitation programs improve their quality life. Several studies suggest that serious games have tremendous potential as tools. Thus, the objective this work develop an application, run game in near future, monitor major physiotherapy movements people with diseases. This application will be based on Image Processing techniques, verify whether patient...
Typography plays a key communication role in the contemporary information-dense culture. Type design is central, complex, and time consuming task. In this work we develop generative system to type based on an evolutionary algorithm. The novel contributions are twofold. First, terms of representation it relies use assemblages shapes form glyphs. There no limitations types that can be used. Second, explore compromise between legibility expressiveness, testing different automatic fitness...
Recent years were marked by a growing demand for dynamic visual identities, observed not only in their increasing numbers but also the research conducted field. In this work, authors survey current state-of-the-art, addressing origins and history of type identity, as well different approaches to analyse classify them. Current lack objectivity, which is necessary comparing identities. The propose novel model analysis based on difference between variation mechanisms used attain dynamism...
In this paper we present a wearable user interface for ubiquitous gaming activities, discussing the design choices that led to implementation of first, fully functional prototype. The Gauntlet takes form an unobtrusive arm piece allows gestures and manipulation real objects be included as game-play elements. When paired mobile device it can used ubiquitously, without need location-dependent hardware framework. Public demonstration prototype by means interactive installation has allowed us...
Usually the exercises defined in physical therapy programs for patients with motor disabilities as a result of neurological disease are repetitive and boring. The design implementation pleasant environments contexts to motivate continue their treatment needed. Serious games appear suitable solution. Therefore, development serious game physiotherapy monitoring people using image processing techniques is presented.
This paper focuses on the design and development of an authoring environment for InStory project. is a platform mobile storytelling, gaming activities information access. It exploration cultural historical physical spaces, promoting interaction between users. During those explorations, users have access to contextual geo-referenced multimedia data, through use devices, such as PDAs or phones, either knowledge acquisition regarding surrounding its aspects engaging in story/gaming together...
An expected increase in the number of older people with mobility problems will bring more concerns to health professionals. One way help both, professionals and patients, can be found development serious games oriented motor rehabilitation physical therapy sessions. Optimization game management, collection processing information, which are professional responsibility, achieved integration a Back Office system game. Therefore, this article aims present modular Office, for centralized...
Genetic Programming (GP) is known to suffer from the burden of being computationally expensive by design. While, over years, many techniques have been developed mitigate this issue, data vectorization, in particular, arguably still most attractive strategy due parallel nature GP. In work, we employ a series benchmarks meant compare both performance and evolution capabilities different vectorized iterative implementation approaches across several existing frameworks. Namely, TensorGP, novel...
