Hi,
Some developers in Ireland are attempting to demolish the former home
of George Boole, who's work we are all familiar with...

The petition below is to have the building preserved to reflect the
importance of Boole's work.

Dear all,

I know Alexey Lastovetsky emailed some of us about this already, but
there's also now an online petition to restore, rather than demolish,
George Boole's former home in Cork:

Subject: GEOG 288MR, Winter 10: LOCATION BASED SERVICES

 

Hi all,

 

The grad seminar I'll offer in Winter 2010 (Wednesday 5-8, EH5824) will be
on LOCATION BASED SERVICES, currently a hot topic at the intersection of
GIScience, Computer Science, and the Social Sciences. For all of you who are
interested, here's the course description:

 

Increased mobility has affected many areas of our daily lives, such as
travel, communication, consumerism, social behavior, and the environment.
Mobile people face challenging problems in space and time. These problems
need to be solved on the spot, such as navigating an unfamiliar city or
deciding on the fastest public transportation mode to a destination.
Location Based Services (LBS) support people in their spatio-temporal
decision-making based on information that is tied to their location. These
services allow a user to query a location from a mobile terminal, such as a
mobile phone or personal digital assistant, and to exploit spatial
information about the user's surrounding environment, such as his/her
proximity to other entities in space. In this seminar we cover both
theoretical and practical aspects of LBS. Topics include mobile
decision-making and personalization; LBS architectures and positioning; LBS
applications such as navigation services, mobile guides, emergency services,
and location based social networking; and privacy and security. The seminar
will mainly consist of readings and discussions, but students will also get
some hands-on experience in designing, using, and evaluating LBS.

 

 

It'll be my last course here at UCSB before joining ETH Zurich, so hope to
see you there!

 

Cheers,

Martin

UCSB COMPUTER SCIENCE DEPARTMENT PRESENTS:

Wednesday, November 17, 2010
2:00 PM ? 3:00 PM
Computer Science Conference Room, Harold Frank Hall Rm. 1132

HOST: Tobias Hollerer

SPEAKER: Peter Pirolli
Palo Alto Research Center

Title: Social Information Foraging and Sensemaking

Abstract:

Information Foraging Theory is a theory of human-information interaction
that aims to explain and predict how people will best shape themselves
to their information environments, and how information environments can
best be shaped to people. The approach involves a kind of reverse
engineering in which the theorist asks (a) what is the nature of the
task and information environments, (b) why is a given system a good
solution to the problem, and (c) how is that ?ideal? solution realized
(approximated) by mechanism. Typically, the key steps in developing a
model of information foraging involve: (a) a rational analysis of the
task and information environment (often drawing on optimal foraging
theory from biology) and (b) a computational production system model of
the cognitive structure of task. I will briefly review work on
individual information seeking, and then focus on how this work is being
expanded to studies of information production and sensemaking in
technology-mediated social systems such as wikis, social tagging, social
network sites, and twitter. I will also discuss recent work on
integrating information network and social network analysis to identify
credible sources of information in twitter.

Bio:

Peter Pirolli is a Research Fellow in the Augmented Social Cognition
Area at the Palo Alto Research Center (PARC), where he has been pursuing
studies of human information interaction since 1991. Prior to joining
PARC, he was an Associate Professor in the School of Education at UC
Berkeley. Pirolli received his doctorate in cognitive psychology from
Carnegie Mellon University in 1985. He is an elected Fellow of the
American Association for the Advancement of Science, the Association for
Psychological Science, the National Academy of Education, and the ACM
Computer-Human Interaction Academy.

Message-ID: <AANLkTinP7Rfh38x9sngqc06iiBKdCYQE0b2Jm-6cjUkO@mail.gmail.com>

Hi all,
The talk on Friday will be about:* Frequent Trajectory Mining on GPS Data*
*Abstract:*
In this paper we propose a new algorithm for finding the
frequent routes that a user has in his daily routine, in our
method we build a grid in which we map each of the GPS
data points that belong to a certain sequence . (We consider
that each sequence conforms a route) we then carry out an
interpolation procedure that has a probabilistic basis and
find a more precise description of the user?s trajectory. For
each trajectory we find the edges that were crossed, with the
crossed edges we create a histogram in which the bins denote
the crossed edges and the frequency value the number of
times that edge was crossed for a certain user. We then select
the K most frequent edges and combine them to create a list
of the most frequent paths that a user has. We compared our
results with the algorithm that was proposed in Adaptive
learning of semantic locations and routes [6] to find frequent
routes of a user, and found that our implementation on the
contrary of [6] can discriminate directions, ie routes that
go from A to B and routes that go from B to A are taken
as different. Furthermore our implementation also permits
the analysis of subsections of the routes,something that to
our knowledge had not been carried out in previous related
work.

Thanks & Cheers!

Hi all

The title and the abstract are as follows.

A Metric for Tracking Robustness in Real-Time Panorama Acquisition
Christopher Coffin , Sehwan Kim, Tobias Hollerer

ABSTRACT
To test the performance of tracking systems on a high level it is necessary
to perform both quantitative and qualitative analyses. This is
particularly true for concepts such as robustness that lack a clear-cut
quantitative definition. Addressing the difficulty inherent in collecting
user evaluation data, we present a metric which maps the quantitative
evaluation of systems to a close approximation of qualitative
robustness of the experience. This largely reduces the need to perform
qualitative analysis of tracking robustness. We motivate the
need for this metric through an analysis of four orientation tracking
systems used for the construction of environment maps. This initial
analysis demonstrates that ground truth error does not directly
reflect the results of a qualitative analysis. We then show that our
proposed metric is able to use the quantitative analysis of the systems
to correctly approximate the relative robustness of the systems
in our initial evaluation. Therefore our proposed metric is able to
estimate qualitative evaluation results, without the need for an additional
user study. Our metric requires only a set of representative
video sequences along with ground truth data for each frame in
terms of yaw, pitch, and roll.


Thanks.

Best
- Sehwan

Title: Imagination in Media Arts: Technical Constraints and Creative
Freedom
Ph.D Defense by Rama C. Hoetzlein

Committee: Tobias Hollerer (Committee Chair, MAT / Comp. Sci.), George
Legrady (MAT), Laurie Monahan (Art History)

Abstract:
Artists working with digital media explore a wide range of new and
unique techniques for developing art. Over time, technical limitations
may separate creative communities into groups that work with and develop
particular tools. The question examined in this dissertation is whether
tools to support creative freedoms for techniques found in different
tools can be combined into a shared framework for media artists and
scientists. To study this question, certain dimensions of creative
technique including 1) programming, 2) modality, 3) live performance, 4)
motion and dynamics, 5) structure and surface, and 6) image and idea,
are considered as aspects that media artists wish to explore. A novel
visual data flow language, LUNA, is developed to integrate these
dimensions into a collaborative, open system for creative exploration.
Technical areas of interface and language design are addressed to create
a practical system, which is evaluated according to creative software
metrics, comparison to other tools, measured performance, and specific
projects. Visual results using LUNA cover a number of interdisciplinary
collaborations and experimental works using hand drawn images.

Yes, this and Oliver's other video
Using Kinect to Capture Video in 3D
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KW9of1Ud0uo
have attracted quite a bit of attention (more than 100K
hits within a few days after posting the one above).

I know Oliver quite well. He is running the Keck's CAVE at
UC Davis and is very savvy.

Cheers,

     Tobias

*MOTIVATION*



Augmented Reality (AR) is technology that seamlessly overlays computer
graphics on the real world. Although first developed over forty years ago,
it has only been in the last few years that AR has become widely available.
One reason for this is the emergence of mobile phones that combine fast CPUs
with large displays, cameras, graphics acceleration, compass and
accelerometers, GPS sensors, and even gyroscopes. For the first time people
have a powerful AR hardware platform in the palm of their hands.



While mobile AR hardware has become commonplace, there is still a need for
more research on how this hardware can be used to deliver a compelling AR
experience. Research is needed in new tools for creating mobile AR
applications, interaction techniques for handheld AR, tracking and rendering
methods, and methods for evaluating the mobile AR experience, among others.
As the field grows rapidly there is an exciting opportunity for academic and
industry researchers to present ideas that can define the future of mobile
AR.



This Computers & Graphics special issue on Mobile Augmented Reality will
encourage a further exchange of knowledge and experience on Mobile Augmented
Reality in a wide range of areas, including:



? Tracking for mobile AR

? Interaction methods in mobile AR

? Mobile AR application case studies

? User evaluation for mobile AR

? Mobile AR rendering and visualization techniques

? Novel input and output devices for mobile AR

? Software architecture

? Theories and frameworks for mobile AR
