  abstract  = {CAMShift is a well-established and fundamental algorithm for kernel-based visual object tracking. While it performs well with objects that have a simple and constant appearance, it is not robust in more complex cases. As it solely relies on back projected probabilities it can fail in cases when the object's appearance changes (e.g. due to object or camera movement, or due to lighting changes), when similarly colored objects have to be re-detected or when they cross their trajectories. We propose extensions to CAMShift that address and resolve all of these problems. They allow the accumulation of multiple histograms to model more complex object appearance and the continuous monitoring of object identi- ties to handle ambiguous cases of partial or full occlusion. Most steps of our method are carried out on the GPU for achieving real-time tracking of multiple targets simultaneously. We explain an ecient GPU implementations of histogram generation, probability back projection, im- age moments computations, and histogram intersection. All of these techniques make full use of a GPU's high parallelization.},

It aims at health promotion at the local level by encouraging community participation and intersectoral collaboration. The paper summarizes findings of research on the Australian Healthy Cities Projects. The long-term study was conducted by the author and is based on a method mix. The results of the study can partially be transferred to Healthy Cities initiatives in other parts of the world. The concept can be linked to Local Agenda 21 initiatives (sustainable urban development).},

  abstract  = {Digital storytelling of remote social interaction, where the situation of a remote group distributed over two locations is captured and a story is generated for later retrieval, can provide valuable insight into the structure and processes in a group. Yet, capturing these situations is a challenge—both from a technical perspective, and from a social perspective. In this paper we present CoLocScribe: a concept and prototype of an advanced media space featuring ubiquitous computing technology for capturing remote social interaction as well as a study of its use providing valuable feedback for the captured persons as well as input for the authors.},

In this paper we present the CollaborationBus Aqua editor that provides an easy to use graphical editor for capturing, authoring, and sharing stories based on mixed-reality scenarios.},

  abstract  = {We present a simple and cost-efficient way of extending contrast, perceived tonal resolution, and the color space of static hardcopy images, beyond the capabilities of hardcopy devices or low-dynamic range displays alone. A calibrated projector-camera system is applied for automatic registration, scanning and superimposition of hardcopies. We explain how high-dynamic range content can be split for linear devices with different capabilities, how luminance quantization can be optimized with respect to the non-linear response of the human visual system as well as for the discrete nature of the applied modulation devices; and how inverse tone-mapping can be adapted in case only untreated hardcopies and softcopies (such as regular photographs) are available. We believe that our approach has the potential to complement hardcopy-based technologies, such as X-ray prints for filmless imaging, in domains that operate with high quality static image content, like radiology and other medical fields, or astronomy.},

This often requires disclosing and sharing personal information via tools such as instant messaging systems and can conflict with the users' wishes for privacy. In this paper we present an initial study investigating this trade-off and discuss implications for the design of instant messaging systems. We present the functionality and design of the PRIMIFaces instant messaging prototype supporting flexible identity management and selective information disclosure.},

  abstract  = {In computer vision, optical defocus is often described as convolution with a filter kernel that corresponds to an image of the aperture being used by the imaging device. The degree of defocus correlates to the scale of the kernel. Convolving an image with the inverse aperture kernel will digitally sharpen the image and consequently compensate optical defocus. This is referred to as deconvolution or inverse filtering. In frequency domain, the reciprocal of the filter kernel is its inverse, and deconvolution reduces to a division. Low magnitudes in the Fourier transform of the aperture image, however, lead to intensity values in spatial domain that exceed the displayable range. Therefore, the corresponding frequencies are not considered, which then results in visible ringing artifacts in the final projection. This is the main limitation of previous approaches, since in frequency domain the Gaussian PSF of spherical apertures does contain a large fraction of low Fourier magnitudes. Applying only small kernel scales will reduce the number of low Fourier magnitudes (and consequently the ringing artifacts) -- but will also lead only to minor focus improvements. To overcome this problem, we apply a coded aperture whose Fourier transform has less low magnitudes initially. Consequently, more frequencies are retained and more image details are reconstructed.},

  abstract  = {Blue screens and chroma keying technology are essential for digital video composition. Professional studios apply tracking technology to record the camera path for perspective augmentations of the original video footage. Although this technology is well established, it does not offer a great deal of flexibility. For shootings at non-studio sets, physical blue screens might have to be installed, or parts have to be recorded in a studio separately. We present a simple and flexible way of projecting corrected keying colors onto arbitrary diffuse surfaces using synchronized projectors and radiometric compensation. Thereby, the reflectance of the underlying real surface is neutralized. A temporal multiplexing between projection and flash illumination allows capturing the fully lit scene, while still being able to key the foreground objects. In addition, we embed spatial codes into the projected key image to enable the tracking of the camera. Furthermore, the reconstruction of the scene geometry is implicitly supported.},
