From: Graeme J Sweeney Subject: ONLINE: Gesture Archive Date: Mon, 3 Jun 1996 09:31:33 +0100 Message-ID: Announcing data repository for gesture researchers. Rationale --------- This archive has been set up in response to the first Gesture Workshop held at the University of York on the 19.iii.96. It has been common practice in many disciplines to make experimental data available to other researchers for the purposes of testing algorithms, new hypothesis or just to demonstrate how their data is tougher to recognise than anyone else's and hence promote their algorithms! It has become increasingly apparent that the gesture research population were not sharing data or were not aware of anyone who might want their data. Therefore, this archive has been established as a repository for data for those researchers. The archive is located at http://peipa.essex.ac.uk/gesture What type of data ? ------------------- In short, any type! Just so long as it is applicable to gesture research. For example, sources of gesture could come from image sequences, instrumented pens or instrumented gloves. All that is asked is that the data comes with a description and perhaps annotation of what, which and when the gestures occur in the data. A description of the method of capture and any explicit or implicit constraints that occurred.
