Tele-existence applications for robotic systems are becoming popular and widespread. Tey enable users to control a remote machine while experiencing a sense of being in the remote location. Initially, tele-existence was used for remote de-mining and mission-critical tasks in space, to avoid risking human life. Recently it has been applied in many entertainment and gaming applications, to enable a community to play together in one virtual environment and share the experience. But existing tele-existence systems require a large-scale interface, a lot of processing power, and a large space for proper operation.

We present a color correction based image blending approach which is capable of combining a set of aligned source images to a composite image and implement it in a mobile panorama system for creating high-resolution panoramic images on mobile devices. Our color correction is performed in the gamma-corrected RGB color space [2009a]. A global adjustment process is used for smoothing color transition in the whole image sequence and reducing cumulative errors. Unlike the work [2009a] which focuses on solving pixel saturation problems in using diagonal models [2002] in the RGB color space, here we are focusing on improving the blending quality and speed for long image sequences. We compare results and performance with a global blending approach [2009b] to demonstrate advantages of the color correction based image blending approach in creating high-resolution panoramic images on mobile devices.

This paper describes the constructing method of consistent action scene data of CG charactors. The proposed method realizes to construct multiple characters' action scenes by merging one actor's action sequences with keeping time and space consistencies between multiple individually recorded or manually-designed action sequences semi-automatically. This technique is planned as a part of "Mixed Reality Pre-visualizing As Pre-Production Tool in Film-making; MR-PreViz" which can streamline the filmmaking process by overlaying CG action data on the real background image in real time.

Recent efforts to accurately integrate properties of human visual perception have fueled an impressive improvement not only in digital photography but also in color manipulation tools. Color is one of the main attributes that influences human visual system, being ultimately the result of our experience and perception. However, several important applications such as substitution systems for visually impaired people, computerized tomography, printed textbooks and aesthetical stylization still require a reliable grayscale representation of images. Mapping three dimensional color information onto a single dimension while still preserving the original appearance, contrast and finest details is not a trivial task. Standard monochromatic transformations, found in commercial image editing software, neglect the color distribution, being unable to conserve in many cases the discriminability of the original chromatic contrast. Consequently, isoluminant colors are mapped to similar grayscale levels increasing the ambiguity in the decolorized image version. Although luminance is a definite value, our subjective interpretation that measures apparent brightness is very important in image decolorization process.

As citizens of the world, we acknowledge that electronic technological gadgetry has become pervasive. Technology, like other sectors of our economy, reinforces our shopping instinct and consumer culture, and it is a catalyst for the growth of capital. The original consumer goods are now edible products of a food production and distribution system, a system that has evolved into the contemporary global food supply chain, a semi-automated system that allows suppliers to electronically track food shipments from farms to processing facilities and distribution centers to restaurants and stores to our homes.

Surface reconstruction is a critical stage in the 3D data acquisition and model creation system. Most existing reconstruction algorithms are designed for oriented data, i.e. point sets with surface normals. However, in some applications, explicit orientation information may not be available, e.g. Shape from Contour (SfC). Besides, the point sets recovered from images and camera calibration are typically noisy and contains defects, e.g. holes or non-uniform sampling. We present a robust method that achieves smooth surface approximation from unoriented and defective point sets by orientation inference and volumetric regularization.

This new optical device forms virtual images that appear to float in the air. In combination with a contactless airflow detector, it provides a new method of interaction. The floating image reacts when users blow air into it. For example, an image of a flame flutters or dies, or dandelion seeds are dispersed in the "wind." In another modality, users "touch" the image, and the finger position is sensed by an infrared screen.
