The need for natural and effective Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) is increasingly important due to the prevalence of computers in human activities Computer vision and pattern recognition continue to play a dominant role in the HCI realm However, computer vision methods often fail to become pervasive in the field due to the lack of real-time, озтжм robust algorithms, and novel and convincing applications This state-of-the-art contributed volume is comprised of articles by prominent experts in computer vision, pattern recognition and HCI It is the first published text to capture the latest research in this rapidly advancing field with exclusive focus on real-time algorithms and practical applications in diverse and numerous industries, and it outlines further challenges in these areas Real-Time Vision for Human-Computer Interaction is an invaluable reference for HCI researchers in both academia and industry, and a useful supplement for advanced-level courses in HCI and Computer Vision.  Комплект2005 г Твердый переплет, 301 стр ISBN 0387276971.
