Improvements in ways of game controlling in recent years yielded higher level of interaction. Release of motion controller devices changed conventional ways of controlling games that have been used so far. Microsoft ®; Kinect™ (Microsoft Corporation, WA, USA) recognizes motions of the players as game controlling inputs. Although touchless interaction is perceived to be attractive, games mimicking real life activities may benefit from hand‐held tangible objects for the player to get more involved into game. In this study, a tangible gameplay interaction method is developed using Microsoft ®; Kinect™ that senses hand‐held objects with their dimensions and incorporates them into gameplay. Proposed algorithm is implemented on an experimental game, and a user study is performed to measure effects of tangible interaction on Kinect gameplay experience. Results revealed that an improved gameplay with more natural and accurate motion controlling is achieved. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Introducing tangible objects into motion controlled gameplay using Microsoft Kinect Bozgeyikli, L. Gamze; İşler, Veysi; Department of Modeling and Simulation (2012) Recent years have witnessed great improvements in ways of game controlling yielding to higher level of interaction. Release of motion controller devices radically changed the conventional ways of interaction that have been used for controlling games so far, also giving developers the opportunity of exploring various new possible ways of interaction. One of these off the shelf tools, Microsoft Kinect for Xbox 360, recognizes motions of the players as game controlling inputs. Although touchless interaction is...
Introducing rolling axis into motion controlled gameplay as a new degree of freedom using Microsoft Kinetic Bozgeyikli, Evren C; İşler, Veysi; Department of Modeling and Simulation (2012) Motion controlling is a rapidly improving area of game technologies. In the last few years, motion sensing devices for video games such as Nintendo Wii, Microsoft Kinect for Xbox 360 and Sony PlayStation Move have gained popularity among players with many compatible motion controlled games. Microsoft Kinect for Xbox 360 provides a controller free interaction system in which the player controls games by using only body movements. Although Kinect provides a natural way of interaction, rolling action of body j...
Extending Correlation Filter-Based Visual Tracking by Tree-Structured Ensemble and Spatial Windowing Gundogdu, Erhan; Özkan, Huseyin; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2017-11-01) Correlation filters have been successfully used in visual tracking due to their modeling power and computational efficiency. However, the state-of-the-art correlation filter-based (CFB) tracking algorithms tend to quickly discard the previous poses of the target, since they consider only a single filter in their models. On the contrary, our approach is to register multiple CFB trackers for previous poses and exploit the registered knowledge when an appearance change occurs. To this end, we propose a novel t...
Good Features to Correlate for Visual Tracking Gundogdu, Erhan; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2018-05-01) During the recent years, correlation filters have shown dominant and spectacular results for visual object tracking. The types of the features that are employed in this family of trackers significantly affect the performance of visual tracking. The ultimate goal is to utilize the robust features invariant to any kind of appearance change of the object, while predicting the object location as properly as in the case of no appearance change. As the deep learning based methods have emerged, the study of learni...
Minimization of Monotonically Levelable Higher Order MRF Energies via Graph Cuts Karci, Mehmet Haydar; Demirekler, Mübeccel (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2010-11-01) A feature of minimizing images of submodular binary Markov random field (MRF) energies is introduced. Using this novel feature, the collection of minimizing images of levels of higher order, monotonically levelable multilabel MRF energies is shown to constitute a monotone collection. This implies that these minimizing binary images can be combined to give minimizing images of the multilabel MRF energies. Thanks to the graph cuts framework, the mentioned class of binary MRF energies is known to be minimized ...
