Abstract:
An apparatus and method for detecting an object using a multi-directional integral image are disclosed. The apparatus includes an area segmentation unit, an integral image calculation unit, and an object detection unit. The area segmentation unit places windows having a size of x*y on a full image having w*h pixels so that they overlap each other at their edges, thereby segmenting the full image into a single area, a double area and a quadruple area. The integral image calculation unit calculates a single directional integral image for the single area, and calculates multi-directional integral images for the double and quadruple areas. The object detection unit detects an object for the full image using the single directional integral image and the multi-directional integral images.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are an interaction apparatus and method. The interaction apparatus includes an input unit for receiving multimodal information including an image and a voice of a target to allow the interaction apparatus to interact with the target, a recognition unit for recognizing turn-taking behavior of the target using the multimodal information, and an execution unit for taking an activity for interacting with the target based on results of recognition of the turn-taking behavior.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are an apparatus and method for supporting choreography, which can easily and systematically search for existing dances through various interfaces and can check the simulation of the found dances. For this, the apparatus includes a dance motion DB for storing pieces of motion capture data about respective multiple dance motions, a dance attribute DB for storing pieces of biomechanical information about respective multiple dance motions, a search unit for receiving a search target dance from a user using a method corresponding to at least one of a sectional motion search and a dance attribute search, and searching the dance motion DB and the dance attribute DB for choreographic data based on similarity determination, and a display unit for displaying choreographic data of the dance motion DB and the dance attribute DB, found as a result of the search based on similarity determined by the search unit.
