In this paper we present a novel system to extract keyframes, shot clusters and structural storyboards for video content description, which can be used for a variety of summarization, visualization, classification, indexing and retrieval applications.

This paper discusses the practical aspects of a wireless control system and reports the experience obtained from implementing a proof-of-concept system.

This is relevant because the nRF24L01+ radio system is a popular technology for the Internet- of-Things and for location- based services with wearable devices in smart cities.

We present a novel optimization-based algorithm for the design and fabrication of customized, deformable input devices, capable of continuously sensing their deformation.

This paper presents underwater 3D capture using a commercial depth camera.

In our project, public commuter buses carrying WLAN-enabled devices (mobile infostations) that provide DTN connectivity are used to ferry data between urban and rural areas.

In this paper, we present our wireless infostation and the cinema-in-a-back that we have built for the purpose and ready for a six-month long eld deployment in rural South Africa, in partnership with local institutions.

This paper presents an automated approach for analyzing both motions and environments in order to represent the different ways in which an environment can afford a character to move.

VertiGo is a wall-climbing robot that is capable of transitioning from the ground to the wall, created in collaboration between Disney Research Zurich and ETH.

In this paper, we present a complete hardware system for fully automatic MVS.
