Toet, A. (author), Hogervorst, M.A. (author)We present a new method to derive a multiscale urban camouflage pattern from a given set of background image samples. We applied this method to design a camouflage pattern for a given (semi-arid) urban environment. We performed a human visual search experiment and a computational evaluation study to assess the effectiveness of this multiscale...article 2013

(author)A convenient way to test Urban Search And Rescue (USAR) robots would be in virtual environments (VEs). Evaluations in VEs are generally accepted as alternative for real scenarios. There are obvious differences between operation in a real and virtual environment. Nonetheless, the current experiment showed no significant differences in situation...conference paper 2013

Isnanda, R.G. (author), Brinkman, W.P. (author), Veling, W. (author), van der Gaag, M. (author), Neerincx, M.A. (author)Freeman et al. reported that a substantial minority of the general population has paranoid thoughts while exposed in a virtual environment. This suggested that in a development phase of a virtual reality exposure system for paranoid patients initially a non-clinical sample could be used to evaluate the system's ability to induce paranoid...conference paper 2013

Schönbeck Y., (author), van Gameren-Oosterom, H.B.M. (author)Groei is een afspiegeling van de gezondheidstoestand van kinderen, jongeren en de samenleving. Het meten en wegen van kinderen en het interpreteren van groeigegevens is dan ook van groot belang. Het biedt de mogelijkheid om afwijkende groei veroorzaakt door genetische aandoeningen of ziekten tijdig op te sporen. Tijdige opsporing en behandeling...bookPart 2013

Xu, J. (author), Broekens, J. (author), Hindriks, K. (author), Neerincx, M.A. (author)Bodily expression of affect is crucial to human robot interaction. Our work aims at designing bodily expression of mood that does not interrupt ongoing functional behaviors. We propose a behavior model containing specific (pose and motion) parameters that characterize the behavior. Parameter modulation provides behavior variations through which...conference paper 2013

Horsch, C.H.G. (author), Smets, N.J.J.M. (author), Neerincx, M.A. (author), Cuijpers, R.A. (author)In urban search and rescue (USAR) situations resources are limited and workload is high. Robots that act as team players instead of tools could help in these situations. A Virtual Reality (VR) experiment was set up to test if team performance of a human-robot team increases when the robot act as such a team player. Three robot settings were...conference paper 2013
