Movies

Here are some videos put together by current and former students in our research group. They are useful as demonstrations of what sketch recognition systems can do. I take no credit for these programs other than the low level geometric recognition toolkit that they use (my master's work).

Two movies of demonstrating Christine's ASSIST sketch understanding system

o A simple mehanical device [mpg format; 49 Meg].
o A more complex mechanical device: a parts feeder [23 Meg].

A video demonstrating Aaron's multimodal interaction system: [6 Meg].

Finally a demonstration of Tracy's UML recognition system. [38 Meg]
