摘要:
Hand pose recognition comprises determining an initial hand pose estimate for a captured input hand pose and performing iterations based upon hand pose estimates and residues between such estimates and hand pose estimates. One or more control signals are generated based upon the hand pose recognition.

Proposed is the use of a document widget for representing a property of a document. The document widget comprises: a human-readable portion for interpretation by a user; and a machine-readable portion representing the document property. By comprising information about a property of a document, a document widget may be processed in accordance with an optical recognition process so as to identify the document widget and enable extraction of the document property.

A method and apparatus for joint profiling for identifying one or more common interests of members of a group and recommending items accordingly. The method comprises receiving a user profile for each member, the user profile comprising a set of one or more topics of interest to that member; automatically mapping at least one topic from each of the profiles to a concept; deriving a group profile, in dependence upon the concepts and the topics; and generating a list of recommended items for the group based on the group profile. Also presented is a method and apparatus for joint profiling wherein a joint weight for each topic is calculated by: for each user, calculating the reciprocal of a weight associated with the topic for that user; calculating the sum of the resulting reciprocals; and calculating the joint weight as the reciprocal of the resulting sum.
摘要:
A document processing method comprises adding document markers to predetermined locations of an electronically stored document. These are printed with the document. The document is scanned and the scanned document markers are used to process the scanned image. This processing comprises at least pixel threshold setting, and determination of the locations of the scanned image which are to be processed to derive the pixels of a digital version of the document. This enables local deformations in the paper document to be corrected, and enables correct thresholds for the printing and scanning operations to be applied. The electronically stored document can be processed to derive a set of document properties which can be used when constructing the digital version.
摘要:
System and method for adaptive content summarization is disclosed. In one embodiment, a summary size of content is computed based on a usability cost function and an information loss function. Further, a summary of the content is extracted based on the summary size. Furthermore, the extracted summary is displayed on a display device.

An apparatus includes a first node configured to transmit both data frames and requests for channel reservations to a local contention neighborhood of a network. The first node is configured to compete with other nodes of the neighborhood for reservations to the channel. The first node is configured to dynamically update a stored value of an access priority for the first node and to transmit said requests with a rate that depends on the stored value.

Provided is a method of automatically extending a seed set. Based on an input seed set, initial seed set candidates are generated. Also generated are categories that will vote on the initial seed set candidates. A weight for each category is determined and each initial seed set candidate is scored. The final seed set candidates are selected from the initial seed set candidates based on their scores.
