| Abstract | For robots to perform interaction with multiple persons, they have to be able to identify the addressees to interact with. We classify the methods of addressee detection and selection into two categories, namely, passive and active approaches. For passive approaches, the robot is programmed to detect a predefined signal, e.g., a voice command or a specific gesture, from a person who is supposed to be the addressee. In contrast, for active approaches, the robot is able to select a person as an addressee based on subtle cues that are inferred from the human pose, gaze, and facial expression. We present two new approaches for attention-based addressee selection, one is a passive method and the other is an active method. The passive method is designed for the robot to recognize common hand-waving gesture, where a Bayessian ensemble approach is proposed to fuse hand detections from depth segmentation, palm shape, skin color, and body pose. The active method is developed for the robot to perform natural interaction with multiple persons. It employs a novel human attention estimation algorithm based on human detection, tracking, upper body pose recogni-tion, face detection, gaze detection, lip motion analysis, and facial expression recognition. Extensive experiments have been conducted and the effectiveness of the proposed approaches is reported. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
