Abstract
A method and model-based communication system are disclosed that determine whether a specific model to more accurately represent a particular object is available so that the complexity of a model adaptation process during a communication secession can be reduced. A generic model can be initially used to start the communication sequence. Once an object has been identified by pattern recognition methods, an adapted model, if available, is switched/used for the mode-based coding. If the adapted model is not available, a generic model may be customized and later switched for the generic model.
Claims20
A method for a model-based communication system comprising the steps of:
- identify at least one object with in an image;
- extracting feature position information of the object;
- determining whether an adapted model is available based upon the extracted feature position information;
- and
- if available, using the adapted model in the model-based communication system.
A model-based communication apparatus comprising:
- means for identify at least one object with in an image;
- means for extracting feature position information of the object;
- means for determining whether an adapted model is available based upon the extracted feature position information;
- and
- means for communicating information using the adapted model, if available.
A computer-readable memory medium including code for a model-based communication apparatus, the code comprising:
- code to identify at least one object with in an image;
- code to extract feature position information of the object;
- code to determine whether an adapted model is available based upon the extracted feature position information;
- and
- code to use, if available, the adapted model in the model-based communication system.
