Viewpoint Dependence in Face Recognition
No full textThis paper analyzes the problem of face recognition as a cognitive process. Specifically, it studies the influence of the angle from which the face to recognize is observed. Following the examination of studies that considered this problem in the past, two psychophysical experiments are presented that seek to further clarify the problem. It is shown that the subject gives different responses according to target viewpoint, with the surest and most rapid recognition coming from observation of the right-hand side of the face

Robotica educativa alla primaria: il progetto ROBOESTATE, il genere, le aspirazioni professionali
No full textIl tema centrale di questo lavoro è il progetto ROBOESTATE, un’iniziativa ideata e implementata dall’Istituto Comprensivo Trento 6 in collaborazione con la Fondazione Bruno Kessler (FBK). ROBOESTATE è nato con l’obiettivo di aumentare l’interesse verso le materie STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) nelle studentesse della scuola Primaria. La progettazione dell’impianto valutativo del progetto e le analisi dei risultati di ROBOESTATE qui presentate, sono state fatte in collaborazione con Patrizia Ghislandi, professore ordinario presso la facoltà di Scienze Cognitive dell’Università di Trento
Launch your Demo on the Web
No full textThis paper is a very short guide for launching successfully a system demonstration on the Web. It doesn't want to be a complete guide, but it only gives some easy and sometimes probably obvious advice to help in the navigation of the ever growing World Wide Web. A list of the most popular search engines and Web directories is compiled.
The history of the launch on the Web of the COMPASS demo, a system for image retrieval by content, is described. At the end the references to some Computer Vision related archives are cited
Evaluating Readability of Stories for Deaf Children with a Drawing Program
No full textThis paper describes a pilot test on the use of a drawing software program as an evaluation method for experiments with deaf children. As deaf children are visual learners, evaluation methods based on drawings seem to be a good alternative to traditional ones. We tested the effectiveness of such a method with a group of deaf children, all raised orally apparently without any knowledge of sign language, and a few hearing children, from eight to fourteen years old. As a testbed, we evaluated the readability of a set of stories, part of a literacy software tool for deaf children. All participants were relaxed and collaborative during the test. The results are promising

Evaluation of Software Tools with Deaf Children
No full textEvaluating software applications with deaf or hard of hearing
children requires methods and procedures tuned to them. Indeed, they are unusual users with special communication needs. This paper proposes a list of guidelines for organizing effective evaluations of interactive tools with deaf children. The novelty of this work is that such guidelines are not based on theoretical thinking. Instead, they are built on data collected through questionnaires proposed to experts working with deaf children.The questionnaire’s data are reinforced by my experience which was gained during usability tests with deaf children. In future work, the effectiveness of these guidelines will be checked during
the evaluation of an e-learning tool for Italian deaf children
