This paper presents a novel approach for egocentric image retrieval and object detection. This approach uses fully convolutional networks (FCN) to obtain region proposals without the need for an additional component in the network and training. It is particularly suited for small datasets with low object variability. The proposed network can be trained end-to-end and produces an effective global d...Show More
Pretend play is a storytelling technique, naturally used from very young ages, which relies on object substitution to represent the characters of the imagined story. We propose a system which assists the storyteller by generating a virtualized story from a recorded dialogue performed with 3D printed figurines. We capture the gestures and facial expressions of the storyteller using Kinect cameras a...Show More
