Ein Werkzeug zur schnellen Erstellung individueller Schriftarten für die jeweiligen akuten Bedürfnisse wäre ein hilfreiches Instrument für Grafiker und Typographen. Die Anforderung für ein solches Instrument kann kaum sein, gute Schriftsätze zu erzeugen, dies liegt in den Händen des Gestalters, jedoch sollte sie jedem, der sich mit dem Thema befassen möchte, einen leichten Einstieg in die Gestaltung geben. Diese Arbeit versucht somit eine möglichst simple Lösung für das komplexe Thema der Schriftgestaltung zu liefern.
The annotation of digital media is no new area of research, instead it is widely investigated. There are many innovative ideas for creating the process of annotation. The most extensive segment of related work is about semi automatic annotation. One characteristic is common in the related work: None of them put the user in focus. If you want to build an interface, which is supporting and satsfying the user, you will have to do a user evaluation first. Whithin this thesis we want to analyze, which features an interface should or should not have to meet these requirements of support, user satisfaction and beeing intuitive. After collecting many ideas and arguing with a team of experts, we determined only a few of them. Different combination of these determined variables form the interfaces, we have to investigate in our usability study. The results of the usability leads to the assumption, that autocompletion and suggestion features supports the user. Furthermore coloring tags for grouping them into categories is not disturbing to the user, but has a tendency of being supportive. Same tendencies emerge for an interface consisting of two user interface elements. There is also an example given for the definition differences of being intuitive. This thesis leads to the concolusion that for reasons of user satisfaction and support it is allowed to differ from classical annotation interface features and to implement further usability studies in the section of annotation interfaces.
Autonomous systems such as robots already are part of our daily life. In contrast to these machines, humans an react appropriately to their counterparts. People can hear and interpret human speech, and interpret facial expressions of other people.
This thesis presents a system for automatic facial expression recognition with emotion mapping. The system is image-based and employs feature-based feature extraction. This thesis analyzes the common steps of an emotion recognition system and presents state-of-the-art methods. The approach presented is based on 2D features. These features are detected in the face. No neutral face is needed as reference. The system extracts two types of facial parameters. The first type consists of distances between the feature points. The second type comprises angles between lines connecting the feature points. Both types of parameters are implemented and tested. The parameters which provide the best results for expression recognition are used to compare the system with state-of-the-art approaches. A multiclass Support Vector Machine classifies the parameters.
The results are codes of Action Units of the Facial Action Coding System. These codes are mapped to a facial emotion. This thesis addresses the six basic emotions (happy, surprised, sad, fearful, angry, and disgusted) plus the neutral facial expression. The system presented is implemented in C++ and is provided with an interface to the Robot Operating System (ROS).
The Microsoft Kinect is currently polular in many application areas because ofrnthe cheap price and good precission. But controlling the cursor is unapplicablerndue to jitter in the skeletton data. My approach will try to stabilisize the cursor position with common techniques from image processing. The input therefore will be the Kinect color camera. A final position will be calculated using the different positions of the tracking techniques. For controlling the cursor the right hand should be tracked. A simple click gesture will also be developed. The evaluation will show if this approach was succesfull.
Today you can find smartphones everywhere. This situation created a hype for Augmented Reality and AR Apps. The big question is: Do these applications provide a real added value? To make AR pratically it is important to add the computational power of a computer to the advantages of AR. An easy and fast way of interaction is essential.
A Poker-Assistance-Software is an ideal test area for an AR Application with real added value. The estimation of the winning probability and a fast automated tracking of the playing cards is the perfect field of investigation.
In this discussion it is interesting to evaluate the added value of AR Applications in common.
This bachelor thesis deals with the topic "user-friendly design of applications (apps)" on mobile devices, a subdomain of software-ergonomics. In the process, two applications are being analyzed with the aim of developing a solution on how support on a mobile device should be conducted. This study focuses primarily on appropriate gestures to coordinate the 'help function' on a mobile device. The study results show that the test persons request a customized help function, but reject an extensive help description, as this seems to be overwhelming for the user.
In dieser Studienarbeit sollen verschiedene Routing-Lookup Algorithmen aufgelistet und verglichen werden, mit denen eine Routing-Tabelle erstellt und angepasst werden kann. Dazu werden hier nur dynamische Verfahren in Betracht gezogen. Allgemein wird die Funktionsweise einer Routing-Tabelle erklärt und drei Verfahren bzw. Algorithmen analysiert und bewertet. Die Algorithmen werden anhand von Beispielen erläutert und in einem abschließenden Kapitel gegenüber gestellt. Dabei werden die Vor- und Nachteile der einzelnen Verfahren aufgelistet.
Augmented Reality (AR) is getting more and more popular. To augment information into the field of vision of the user using HMDs, e.g. front shields of a car, glasses, displays of a smartphone or tablets are the main use of AR technology. It is necessary to get the position and orientation (pose) of the camera in space to augment correctly.
Nowadays, this is solved with artificial markers. These known markers are placed in the room and the system is taught to this set up. The next step is to get rid of these artificial markers. If we are calculating the pose without such markers we are talking about marker-less tracking. Instead of artificial markers we will use natural objects in the real world as reference points to calculate the pose. Thus, this approach can be used flexibly and dynamically. We are no longer dependent on artificial markers but we need much more knowledge about the scenery to find the pose. This is compensated by technical actions and/or the user himself. However, both solutions are neither comfortable nor efficient for the usage of such a system. This is why marker-less 3D tracking is still a big field of research.
This sets the starting point for the bachelor thesis. In this thesis an approach is proposed that needs only a quantity of 2D Feature from a given camera image and a quantity of 3D Feature of an object to find the initial Pose. With this approach, we got rid of the technical and user assistance. 2D and 3D Features can be detected in any way you like.
The main idea of this approach is to build six correspondences between these quantities. With those we are able to estimate the pose. Each 3D Feature is mapped with the estimated pose onto image coordinates, whereby the estimated pose can be evaluated. Each distance is measured between the mapped 3D Feature and the associated 2D Feature. Each correspondency is evaluated and the results are summed up to evaluate the whole pose. The lower this summed up value is, the better the pose. It has been shown to have a correct pose with a value around ten pixels.
Due to lots of possibilities to build six correspondences between the quantities, it is necessary to optimize the building process. For the optimization we will use a genetic algorithm.
During the test case the system worked quite reliably. The hit rate was around 90% with a runtime of approximately twelve minutes. Without optimization it can take easily some years.
