The Japanese Society for Artificial Intelligence established a new form of digital poster presentations using PCs and VTRs, starting in FY1998 in addition to the conventional oral presentations. The above three researchers won awards for their excellent presentation among the digital posters presented this time.
This presentation concerns gesture recognition by identifying geometical features in addition to the conventional motion features for advanced gesture recognition, whose real-time implementation on a PC won special acclaim. For details, visit http://www.rwcp.or.jp/labse/mmtl/.
