Andrew Mao Host/Chair:
Scalable Cooperation
For decades, physical behavioral labs have been the primary method for conducting controlled experiments of human behavior. However, the Internet now enables "virtual labs" using online participants, which extend the scope of experimental methods and allow for studies of increasing complexity, size, and breadth compared to physical labs. In this talk, Andrew Mao will discuss two experiments using virtual lab techniques to study interaction and coordination in groups, and motivate the potential of future virtual lab research. |

Srikumar Ramalingam Host/Chair:
Camera Culture
In this talk, Srikumar Ramalingam will show an efficient method for reconstructing the 3D arrangement of lines extracted from a single image, using vanishing points, orthogonal structure, and an optimization procedure that considers all plausible connectivity constraints between lines. Line detection identifies a large number of salient lines that intersect or nearly intersect in an image, but relatively a few of these apparent junctions correspond to real intersections in the 3D scene. |

The prosthetic socket, the mechanical interface between an amputated residuum and an external prosthesis, is of critical importance to the performance of a prosthetic limb system. Conventional prosthetic socket technology is derived using a non-quantitative, artisan methodology. Consequently, a comfortable socket interface cannot be made reproducibly, and persons with limb amputation too often experience discomfort. |
