Action-driven 3D Indoor Scene Modeling

3D indoor scenes are ubiquitously needed in the virtual world, e.g. 3D games, movies and virtual reality. These scenes provide the essential virtual environments for 3D characters to perform daily activities and tasks. Current scenes on public available datasets, e.g. Trimble 3D warehouse, are usually clean and well organized, and might not be sufficient to […]

Asynchronous vs. Synchronous Rumor Spreading

Our intended research will be focused on rumor spreading protocols, also known as randomized broadcasting. In the randomized rumor spreading problem, the goal is to broadcast a message that is initiated at one node to all nodes in a given network, by means of nodes choosing uniformly at random a neighbor and exchanging the message […]

Human behaviour analysis using affective computing

The purpose of this project is to develop methodologies for automatic human emotion detection from video that can work accurately in uncontrolled, real-world, environments. Emotional activity will be assessed from signals such as the heart-rate, blinking rate or the diameter of the eye?s pupil. Architech Labs conducts research in the areas of machine learning, computer […]

Intelligent surveillance system for event detection

This project aims to develop an intelligent surveillance system for automatic event detection. The proposed system will operate in an indoor environment to notify the user of events of interest in real-time. Most standard systems use visible-light cameras and basic change detection methods (e.g. Background subtraction) to recognize simple events such as intrusion. Instead, we […]

Human Performance of Finger Identification for Multitouch Input

The project first aims at developing a robust and low latency hardware system for identifying which fingers are in contact with a surface. The second objective is to implement and refine finger identification interaction techniques that would improve the interaction with touch surfaces (smart phone, tablets, tabletops). These techniques will be evaluated to state of […]
