"3329","The Whole World in Your Hand: Active and Interactive Segmentation","Object segmentation is a fundamental problem in computer vision and a powerful resource for development. This paper presents three embodied approaches to the visual segmentation of objects. Each approach to segmentation is aided by the presence of a hand or arm in the proximity of the object to be segmented. The first approach is suitable for a robotic system, where the robot can use its arm to evoke object motion. The second method operates on a wearable system, viewing the world from a human's perspective, with instrumentation to help detect and segment objects that are held in the wearer's hand. The third method operates when observing a human teacher, locating periodic motion (finger/arm/object waving or tapping) and using it as a seed for segmentation. We show that object segmentation can serve as a key resource for development by demonstrating methods that exploit high-quality object segmentations to develop both low-level vision capabilities (specialized feature detectors) and high-level vision capabilities (object recognition and localization).","http://cogprints.org/3329/","Arsenio, Artur and Fitzpatrick, Paul and Kemp, Charles C. and Metta, Giorgio","Prince, Christopher G. and Berthouze, Luc and Kozima, Hideki and Bullock, Daniel and Stojanov, Georgi and Balkenius, Christian","       <span class=\"person_name\">Arsenio, Artur</span> and <span class=\"person_name\">Fitzpatrick, Paul</span> and <span class=\"person_name\">Kemp, Charles C.</span> and <span class=\"person_name\">Metta, Giorgio</span>     (2003)  <a href=\"http://cogprints.org/3329/\"><em>The Whole World in Your Hand: Active and Interactive Segmentation.</em></a>       [Conference Paper]           ","","2003"
