Glove-Talk: a neural network interface between a data-glove and a speech synthesizer
Sidney Fels,Geoffrey E. Hinton +1 more
TL;DR: To illustrate the potential of multilayer neural networks for adaptive interfaces, a VPL Data-Glove connected to a DECtalk speech synthesizer via five neural networks was used to implement a hand-gesture to speech system, demonstrating that neural networks can be used to develop the complex mappings required in a high bandwidth interface that adapts to the individual user.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
A Linear Programming Approach for Multiple Object Tracking
TL;DR: A linear programming relaxation scheme for the class of multiple object tracking problems where the inter-object interaction metric is convex and the intra-object term quantifying object state continuity may use any metric is found to be able to find the global optimum with high probability.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Evaluation of Background Subtraction Algorithms with Post-Processing
Donovan H. Parks,Sidney Fels +1 more
TL;DR: This paper evaluates several popular, state-of-the-art BGS algorithms and examines how post-processing techniques affect their performance and provides recommendations for achieving robust foreground segmentation based on the lessons learned performing this comparative study.
Book ChapterDOI
ArtiSynth: A Fast Interactive Biomechanical Modeling Toolkit Combining Multibody and Finite Element Simulation
TL;DR: ArtiSynth is an open source, Java-based biomechanical simulation environment for modeling complex anatomical systems composed of both rigid and deformable structures that provides forward simulation capabilities that combine multibody and finite element models.
Journal ArticleDOI
Glove-talk II - a neural-network interface which maps gestures to parallel formant speech synthesizer controls
Sidney Fels,G.E. Hinton +1 more
TL;DR: One subject has trained to speak intelligibly with Glove-TalkII, a system which translates hand gestures to speech through an adaptive interface that uses several input devices, a parallel formant speech synthesizer, and three neural networks.
