Download or read book Interpreting Technologies Current and Future Trends written by Gloria Corpas Pastor and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2023-10-09 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While interpreting long remained unaffected by the technological progress that transformed the translation industry, recent years have witnessed a paradigm shift, such that interpreters increasingly interact with technological tools, that the delivery of interpreting services becomes increasingly dependent on technologies, and, finally, that technologies start to emerge that might some day compete with interpreters. This volume brings together a series of contributions on interpreting technologies focusing on each of these aspects. Its goal is to inform and to empower interpreters, as well as to spark new reflections on the future of technology in the interpreting industry. With this volume, we want to encourage interpreters to participate in that reflection and to become partners of technology rather than its victims. The next generation of technologies will need a next generation of interpreters!

Download or read book Gesture Recognition written by Kevin Roebuck and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 778 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gesture recognition is a topic in computer science and language technology with the goal of interpreting human gestures via mathematical algorithms. Gestures can originate from any bodily motion or state but commonly originate from the face or hand. Current focuses in the field include emotion recognition from the face and hand gesture recognition. Many approaches have been made using cameras and computer vision algorithms to interpret sign language. However, the identification and recognition of posture, gait, proxemics, and human behaviors is also the subject of gesture recognition techniques. Gesture recognition can be seen as a way for computers to begin to understand human body language, thus building a richer bridge between machines and humans than primitive text user interfaces or even GUIs (graphical user interfaces), which still limit the majority of input to keyboard and mouse. This book is your ultimate resource for Gesture Recognition. Here you will find the most up-to-date information, analysis, background and everything you need to know. In easy to read chapters, with extensive references and links to get you to know all there is to know about Gesture Recognition right away, covering: Gesture recognition, 3D computer vision, Agent Vi (Agent Video Intelligence), Augmented reality, Automated optical inspection, Automatic image annotation, Automatic number plate recognition, Automatic target recognition, Check weigher, Closed-circuit television, Computer stereo vision, Content-based image retrieval, Digital video fingerprinting, GazoPa, Google Goggles, Image retrieval, Image-based modeling and rendering, Intelligent character recognition, Iris recognition, Machine vision, Object detection, Optical character recognition, Pedestrian detection, People counter, Physical computing, Red light camera, Remote sensing, Smart camera, Traffic enforcement camera, Traffic sign recognition, Vehicle infrastructure integration, Video Content Analysis, View synthesis, Visual sensor network, 3D single object recognition, Bag of words model in computer vision, Boosting methods for object categorization, Face detection, Histogram of oriented gradients, LabelMe, Microsoft Surface, Object categorization from image search, Object recognition (computer vision), Part-based models, Scale-invariant feature transform, Segmentation-based object categorization, Viola-Jones object detection framework, Apple Mouse, Augmentation Research Center, Brain implant, CICS, Command-line interface, Comparison of consumer brain-computer interfaces, Docuverse, Dynabook, Electronic Document System, Emotiv Systems, Eye tracking, History of automated adaptive instruction in computer applications, History of Inform releases, History of the graphical user interface, History of virtual learning environments, History of virtual learning environments in the 1990s, Hypertext Editing System, IBM 2260, IBM 2741, IBM 3270, In the Beginning...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finally, a field guide to interpreting more than 100 international gestures, from the wave to the finger, from the shrug to the nod. Here’s easy access to the essential information about common (and some not-so-common) gestures you may encounter at home or abroad. Field Guide to Gestures is organized into handy sections for quick reference when time is of the essence and interpretation is everything. If a man bends his torso forward when meeting you, turn to the “Arrival/Departure” chapter to learn more about the bowing gesture. When the woman at the end of the bar flips her hair and looks your way, turn to the “Mating” chapter to learn just what she’s trying to say. And if your friend has intertwined his index finger and middle fingers as the night’s lottery numbers are being read, go to “No Words Needed” to learn more about the crossed fingers gesture. This practical guide includes more than 100 full-color photographs of the world’s most common gestures, plus cross-referenced descriptions throughout, including historical background and common usage. Helpful step-by-step directions and detailed line drawings teach you how to perform each gesture correctly.

Download or read book Body Language Communication Volume 2 written by Cornelia Müller and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2014-10-29 with total page 1084 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume II of the handbook offers a unique collection of exemplary case studies. In five chapters and 99 articles it presents the state of the art on how body movements are used for communication around the world. Topics include the functions of body movements, their contexts of occurrence, their forms and meanings, their integration with speech, and how bodily motion can function as language.

Volume II of the handbook thus entails the following chapters: VI. Gestures across cultures, VII. Body movements: functions, contexts and interactions, VIII. Gesture and language, IX. Embodiment: the body and its role for cognition, emotion, and communication, X. Sign Language: Visible body movements as language.

Download or read book Human Computer Interaction Using Hand Gestures written by Prashan Premaratne and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2014-03-20 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human computer interaction (HCI) plays a vital role in bridging the 'Digital Divide', bringing people closer to consumer electronics control in the 'lounge'. Keyboards and mouse or remotes do alienate old and new generations alike from control interfaces. Hand Gesture Recognition systems bring hope of connecting people with machines in a natural way. This will lead to consumers being able to use their hands naturally to communicate with any electronic equipment in their 'lounge.' This monograph will include the state of the art hand gesture recognition approaches and how they evolved from their inception. The author would also detail his research in this area for the past 8 years and how the future might turn out to be using HCI. This monograph will serve as a valuable guide for researchers (who would endeavour into) in the world of HCI.

This book was released on 2020-10-28 with total page 645 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The City of Manchester, once the birthplace of the 1st Industrial Revolution, is today a pioneering hub of the 4th Industrial Revolution (Industry 4.0), offering Industry 4.0 solutions in advanced materials, engineering, healthcare and social sciences. Indeed, the creation of some of the city’s greatest academic institutions was a direct outcome of the industrial revolution, so it was something of a homecoming that the Sustainable Smart Manufacturing (S2M) Conference was hosted by The University of Manchester in 2019. The conference was jointly organised by The University of Manchester, The University of Lisbon and The Polytechnic of Leiria – the latter two bringing in a wealth of expertise in how Industry 4.0 manifests itself in the context of sustainably evolving, deeply-rooted cities. S2M-2019 instigated the development of 61 papers selected for publication in this book on areas of Smart Manufacturing, Additive Manufacturing and Virtual Prototyping, Materials for Healthcare Applications and Circular Economy, Design Education, and Urban Spaces.
