This research extracts a 3D model of a person's face from a video. The person's facial expressions and mouth movements can then be transferred to the 3D face model of another person. In this video, the two input videos are shown in the top corners. The facial movements of ...
Shady is a robot that acts as a localized window shade by climbing the metal trusses of windows. Instead of blocking an entire window like a conventional window shade, Shady can block only the portion of the window where the sun is shining directly Shady is a project of the ...
This system compares two video streams recorded at different times and automatically detects features that changed during the interval. The systems flags these differences to allow a user to quickly see what changed, making it a good tool for security and reconnaissance ...
Area B is a residential area of rotaries and winding streets designed to test the vehicle's lane following, navigation, obstacle avoidance, parking, signaling, and turning. In this run Talos, MIT's vehicle, had some difficulties entering the course. ...
A pre-qualification test of MIT's DARPA Urban Challenge entry conducted at the El Toro Air Station. The vehicle is operating autonomously and no one is inside. The video is shot from a car following the vehicle. Recorded October 24, 2007. Team MIT ...
In this video, each cube is a robotic module that recognizes and connects to its neighbor. Using an computer interface, a user can sculpt the structure into any shape. The structure then disassembles itself into the desired shape by disconnecting and discarding the unneeded ...
Area A tested Talos' ability to merge into moving traffic. Talos ("the world's most expensive, sophisticated Land Rover in existence," as the DARPA announcer calls it) was a bit too hesitant about merging, requiring the team to make some changes to ...
Area A tested Talos' ability to merge into moving traffic. After a too cautious first attempt, the team made some changes and the vehicle performed better in this round. Team MIT is a collaborative effort between MIT's Computer Science and ...
Area B is a residential area of rotaries and winding streets designed to test the vehicle's lane following, navigation, obstacle avoidance, parking, signaling, and turning. Talos, MIT's vehicle, completed the course in 26 minutes, one of only two ...
Area C involved intersection precedence and the vehicle's reactions to road blocks. Talos, MIT's vehicle, performed very well at these tasks. Team MIT is a collaborative effort between MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory ...
