For more than two decades the Videometrics
conference series has been providing a unique forum for computer
vision, image processing and photogrammetry researchers and
practitioners to present the latest advances in precise 3D measurement
and modeling from imaging and range sensors. This conference was
originally focused on the metric performance of sensors and algorithms
to produce the most accurate and reliable geometric measurements and
models. Topics such as sensor calibration, performance evaluation, and
accurate object reconstruction were prevailing. This has now been
expanded to encompass all phases of 3D optical and range imaging and
modeling of real scenes, including automation of data collection and
processing, improving the visual quality and realism, visualization,
animation, and data management for real-time manipulation. This is in
response to the fast growing interest in 3D imaging and modeling
technology and the increase demand of these models in applications such
as rapid product development, virtual museums, documentation of
monuments and architecture for cultural heritage, marketing and
tourism, human body modeling, medicine, and many more.

MathSAT is a software system capable of quickly analyzing and resolving complex mathematical problems.
The project is the result of a group effort between the ES unit of the Information Technology Centre at the Fondazione Bruno Kessler and the DISI of the University of Trento. MathSAT was put to the test in Canada from the 2nd to the 7th August during the SMT-COMP 2009 competition in the CADE-22 affiliated sector (the International Automatic Deduction Conference), which was attended by research centres from all over the world, such as the Universities of Berkley, Washington and New York. The system developed in Trentino was well ranked, taking the podium in most of the categories (http://www.smtexec.org/exec/?jobs=529) in which it competed.
Si chiama MathSAT ed è un sistema software in grado di analizzare e risolvere velocemente problemi matematici complessi.
Il progetto è il risultato di una collaborazione tra l'Unità ES del Centro Information Technology alla Fondazione Bruno Kessler e il DISI dell'Università di Trento. Dal 2 al 7 agosto, in Canada, MathSAT è stato messo alla prova durante SMT-COMP 2009 competizione del settore affiliata a CADE-22 (la Conferenza internazionale di Deduzione Automatica) cui hanno partecipato centri di ricerca di tutto il mondo, come le Università di Berkley, di Washington, di New York. Il sistema sviluppato in Trentino ha ottenuto ottimi piazzamenti, conquistando il podio nella maggior parte delle categorie in cui ha gareggiato.
New result for the SmarTrack project, the video surveillance system developed by the Technologies of Vision research unit of Fondazione Bruno Kessler.
At the 6th International Advanced Video and Signal Based Surveillance Conference, held in Genoa from 2-4 September, the FBK researcher Oswald Lanz will present the latest outcome of the research conducted within the SmarTrack project. The work consists in a new method to detect the presence and location of people in an indoor environment by analyzing the images provided by video cameras. With this extension, the SmarTrack system is now able to monitor the behavior of people even in non collaborative environments, making it a transparent and non invasive technology ready to support applications in fields such as security & surveillance, domotics, sports analysis, and others. After the conference the system will be installed in the entrance hall of FBK for live demonstration and testing purposes.

ABSTRACT DELLA RELAZIONE DI MAURIZIO OMOLOGO (English version only available)
Acoustic Scene Analysis and Distant Talking Interfaces for Smart Indoor Environments
An attractive scenario consists in the development of new workspaces where ambient intelligence is realized through a wide usage of sensors connected to computers that fade in the background, largely invisible and significantly less intrusive to humans. Besides multimodal approaches that exploit and fuse information available at sensors of different nature (e.g. jointly audio and video), a fundamental step towards this vision of ambient computing is to progress on automatic understanding of the acoustic scene captured by a network of microphones distributed in space. During the last decade several approaches and techniques have been investigated, with the ultimate goal being to classify concurrent acoustic activities and to recognize speech, even under reverberant and noisy conditions. This presentation aims to highlight some of the basic problems, which range from the automatic location of multiple active speakers to the selective acquisition and understanding of the speech message. Different techniques and solutions will be discussed based on the achievements recently obtained within European projects such as DICIT (Distant-talking Interfaces for Control of Interactive TV), whose main purpose is to realize real-time access to a smart assistant enabling the interaction with TV-related digital devices and infotainment services.
Maurizio Omologo is the head of SHINE (Speech-acoustic scene analysis and interpretation) project, under the Centre for Information Technology of Fondazione Bruno Kessler, Trento, Italy. Since 1984, he has been conducting research in the areas of speech coding, speech synthesis, multi-microphone front-end processing, speech enhancement, and robust speech recognition, in particular focusing on distant-talking scenarios and hands-free in-car interaction. He has also been teaching the course of "Audio Signal Processing and Coding" at the University of Trento since 2001. From 2003 to 2005, he was Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Speech and Audio Processing journal. He acted as General Chairman of ASRU 2001 and HSCMA 2008 workshops, and contributed to the work of organizing and scientific committees for several other international conferences and workshops. Currently, he is Project Manager of DICIT, a European Project of the VI EC Framework Programme, which deals with distant-talking interfaces for control of interactive TV. He is a member of the steering committee of AISV, the Italian association on speech sciences. He also holds a number of patents and has published more than 100 scientific papers in major international conferences and journals in the field

This presentation aims to highlight some of the basic problems, which range from the automatic location of multiple active speakers to the selective acquisition and understanding of the speech message. Different techniques and solutions will be discussed based on the achievements recently obtained within European projects such as DICIT (Distant-talking Interfaces for Control of Interactive TV), whose main purpose is to realize real-time access to a smart assistant enabling the interaction with TV-related digital devices and infotainment services.

Acoustic Scene Analysis and Distant Talking Interfaces for Smart Indoor Environments
An attractive scenario consists in the development of new workspaces where ambient intelligence is realized through a wide usage of sensors connected to computers that fade in the background, largely invisible and significantly less intrusive to humans. Besides multimodal approaches that exploit and fuse information available at sensors of different nature (e.g. jointly audio and video), a fundamental step towards this vision of ambient computing is to progress on automatic understanding of the acoustic scene captured by a network of microphones distributed in space.

La prossima settimana il progetto DICIT (Distant-talking Interfaces for Control of Interactive TV) parteciperà alla conferenza internazionale "IFA 2009", in programma a Berlino dal 4 al 9 settembre. Maurizio Omologo, responsabile dell'unità di ricerca di FBK - Shine (Speech-acoustic scene analysis and interpretation) spiega alcune delle novità introdotte nel sistema.
In questo ultimo anno di studio il progetto DICIT, che vede la FBK come coordinatore, è stato implementato con un nuovo prototipo dotato di molte più funzionalità, che vanno da una nuova interfaccia grafica alla capacità di riconoscere frasi più compesse (come sapere i film in onda divisi per genere, orario, canale, ecc.). Il sistema funziona in multilingua: italiano, inglese e tedesco. Riconosce un linguaggio più complesso e articolato, si accorge di eventuali interferenti (persone) e disturbi ambientali, scorporandoli dai comandi ricevuti. Negli ultimi 3 mesi il sistema è stato valutato su persone diverse (oltre 100) e ora si stanno analizzando i dati per riassumerne i risultati. La versione definitiva che verrà presentata ad IFA, fiera internazionale di Berlino in programma dal 4 -9 settembre 2009 che ogni anno conta oltre 360 mila visitatori. In particolare, lo stand di FBK sarà posizionato nel padiglione “TEC-WATCH” (innovazione, progetti di ricerca) è sarà dedicato interamente al progetto DICIT.
