Automatic and efficient long term arm and hand tracking for continuous sign language TV broadcasts by Pfister, T, Charles, J, Everingham, M, Zisserman, A

“…<br> Our contributions are (i) a co-segmentation algorithm that automatically separates the signer from any signed TV broadcast using a generative layered model; (ii) a method of predicting joint positions given only the segmentation and a colour model using a random forest regressor; and (iii) demonstrating that the random forest can be trained from an existing semi-automatic, but computationally expensive, tracker. …”

Discovering objects and their location in images by Sivic, J, Russell, BC, Efros, AA, Zisserman, A, Freeman, WT

“…It is demonstrated that this extended vocabulary gives a cleaner image segmentation. Finally, the classification and segmentation methods are applied to a set of images containing multiple objects per image. …”

Development of a vision-based gesture human-computer interface by Lim, Chun Ping.

“…With a few reasonable assumptions, this stage was achieved with 3 image processing techniques, namely background subtraction by codebook method, skin segmentation and contour convexity finding. To enhance the robustness of the system, a variant codebook method had been created to be used in skin segmentation. …”

Is social media really that effective for communicating budget policies to citizens? – a case study of the Singapore budget 2018 by Chin, Zhao Wei

“…Citizen feedback is collected using an online public survey, of which demographical factors such as age, educational qualifications and employment status were cross-tabulated and suggest that social media avenues such as Facebook may not be the best way to communicate budget policy to certain segments of the population. Moreover, there is a risk of investing too much focus on social media, such that other segments of the population may be neglected. …”
