Development Of SU-8 And PDMS Miniatured Boats And Flotillas
(Electrical Engineering, 2010-11-01)
In this work, we developed miniaturized SU-8 and PDMS miniaturized boats and flotillas, and explored their designs, fabrication, actuation, motions and driving mechanisms. Like large-scale boats and flotillas, these ...
Dynamic Scene Interpretation And Understanding From Two Views
(Electrical Engineering, 2010-03-03)
Interpretation of a static or dynamic scene starts by segmenting the scene followed by recognition. Our work concentrates on the general problem of segmenting and recognizing animate and inanimate objects in a scene captured ...
