Working closely with my adviser Mick Grierson, I have developed a way to resynthesize existing videos using material from another set of videos. This process starts by learning a database of objects that appear in the set of videos …
I’ve been working on developing a method for automatic head-pose tracking, and along the way have come to model facial appearances. I start by initializing a facial bounding box using the Viola-Jones detector, a well known and robust detector used …
As part of a system of numerous dynamic connections and networks, we are reactive and deterministic to a complex system of cause and effect. The consequence of our actions upon our selves, the society we live in and the broader …
The following demo works with SeeingMachines FaceAPI in openFrameworks controlling a Mario avatar. It also has some really poor gesture recognition (and learning but it’s not shown here), though a threshold on the rotation DOF would have produced better results …
Playing with MSERs in trying to implement an algorithm for feature-based object tracking. The algorithm first finds MSERs, warps them to circles, describes them with a SIFT descriptor, and then indexes keyframes of sift vectors by using vocabulary trees. Of …
Over the past 2 years, I have been working under the direction of Prof John M Henderson together with Dr Tim J Smith and Dr Robin Hill on the DIEM project (Dynamic Images and Eye-Movements). Our project has focused on …
