The task of computationally identifying and categorizing emotions expressed in a piece of text, speech, video or image or combination thereof.

CONT

A method ... using a combination of natural language processing, voice recognition, face recognition, emotion recognition and feature point detection to identify the person’s lips and/or mouth movements, allows for the auto-tagging of events, time-based markers of specific content and subjects segmented within a conversational timeline.

DEF

Tâche consistant à identifier et à catégoriser par calcul les émotions exprimées dans un texte, un discours, une vidéo, une image ou une combinaison de ces éléments.

CONT

[...] il est important de faire la distinction entre la reconnaissance d'expressions faciales et la reconnaissance d'émotions. Les émotions résultent de plusieurs facteurs et peuvent être révélées par la voix, la posture, les gestes, la direction de regard et les expressions faciales. Par contre, les émotions ne sont pas la seule origine des expressions faciales.

OBS

reconnaissance d'émotions : désignation validée par des spécialistes canadiens de l'Université Concordia, de l'Université Dalhousie, de l'Université Laval et de Microsoft Canada.

CONT

Five sites representing a broad range of fish pass types were selected for trials. Camera, lighting and image recording equipment were deployed at each site, to identify the optimum combination and arrangement to produce the best fish images. The resulting video output was used to develop and evaluate three computer-based image analysis systems for detecting fish from video images. Two of these significantly [outperformed] the third in terms of detection rate for fish and time taken for an analyst to obtain a fish count.... The project generated [a] fish counting system... suitable for fish passes and narrow channels...

Subject field(s)
  • Simulation (Cybernetic Systems)
  • Computer Display Technology
DEF

A button, keystroke or combination of keys that will replace windows unrelated to work with an image or window that looks like work.

CONT

A few factors likely made boss keys within games more common in the 1980s and early 1990s than they are today. Back then, most MS-DOS PCs [Microsoft disk operating system for the personal computers] were single-tasking machines, so you couldn’t quickly Alt+Tab away from the game to another window like you can today. Also, The Encyclopedia of Video Games speculates that boss keys were more popular when PC clones were more expensive and more likely to be located at work than in the home.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Radar, Radio Guidance and Goniometry
  • Spacecraft
CONT

Envisat's ASAR [Advanced Synthetic Aperture Radar] instrument is the first permanent spaceborne radar to incorporate dual-polarisation capabilities-the instrument can transmit and receive signals in either horizontal or vertical polarisation. This Alternating Polarisation(AP) mode can improve the capability of a SAR instrument to classify different types of terrain. Because the reflective properties of a surface are dependant on the polarisation of the incoming radar signal, the use of more than one type of polarisation provides valuable extra information. The ASAR AP mode provides two simultaneous images(or channels) of the same scene taken with different radar polarisation options. Since the radar can transmit and receive in both the horizontal(H) and vertical(V) polarisations, researchers can create image pairs, with possible combinations, HH&VV... HH&HV and VV&VH. A cross-polarisation option employs a channel in which the polarisation signal transmitted by the spacecraft is received on a different polarisation, i. e. transmitted using a horizontal polarisation and received on the vertical for an HV combination, or the reverse for a VH combination.

Subject field(s)
  • Radiological Physics (Theory and Application)
CONT

This unique combination of surface and transmission X-ray analysis provides a complete elemental characterisation of a sample in one simple step. The innovative design of the XGT-5000 allows for a non-destructive analysis at normal atmospheric pressure. It incorporates a novel coaxial arrangement of the X-ray beam and the optical visual image to enable fast and accurate sample positioning.

OBS

The recently developed and ground breaking Horiba X-ray Guide Tube (XGT) incorporated within the system provides a spatial resolution down to 10 [mu]m, an unprecedented performance in the field of micro X-ray analysis. The new capabilities and functionality of the XGT-5000 expands the technique of X-ray elemental analysis from the conventional applications of material research to emerging fields of interest such as biology, mineralogy and environmental analysis.

Although real motion video is the holy grail of multimedia, it still is impractical using today's technology. The current method for working with video is by capturing and converting the analog signal from a video source and either manipulating the image's data(which is written to video tape) or compressing the data using compression techniques(either software-only compression or a combination of hardware and software compression). To display or capture a single screen of an NTSC signal, you must have a video frame grabber. These are lowest on the rungs of the video ladder, in that they have less capability than boards that capture streaming video. These cards enable you to grab a single frame of video from a Laser Disk or a VCR. Video frame grabbers come in two varieties : single-frame capture and real-time capture. Single-frame capture boards enable you to freeze a selected frame and record it to your hard disk. In this function, single-frame boards are similar to scanners-they provide a means of capturing an image and saving it for use in a multimedia title.... Real-time frame grabbers capture full-motion video at a rate between 15 and 30 frames-per-second using video compression....
