Overexploitation of fisheries is a worldwide problem, which is leading to a large loss of diversity, and affects human communities indirectly through the loss of traditional jobs, cultural heritage, . To address this issue, governments have started accumulating data on fishing activities, to determine biomass extraction rates, and fisheries status. However, these data are often estimated from small samplings, which can lead to partially inaccurate assessments.

There are many examples of manual constructions based on planar patches: facades, corridors, packages, boxes, etc. In these constructions, planar patches must satisfy orthogonal constraints by design (.

Recent studies show that adherence to treatment can be improved using multimedia technologies. However, there are few studies using 3D data and VR technologies for this purpose.

Serious games play an important role as tools for gamification, in particular in the context of software engineering courses because of the idiosyncratic nature of the topic. However, the studies on the improvement of student performance resulting from the use of gamification and serious games in courses with different contexts are not conclusive.

However, most of the perception problems are individually modeled and tackled. It is necessary to provide a general imaging model that allows us to parametrize different input systems as well as their problems and possible solutions.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFRGB-D (Red Green Blue and Depth) sensors are devices that can provide color and depth information from a scene at the same time. Recently, they have been widely used in many solutions due to their commercial growth from the entertainment market to many diverse areas (e.g.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFThe use of RGB-D sensors for mapping and recognition tasks in robotics or, in general, for virtual reconstruction has increased in recent years. The key aspect of these kinds of sensors is that they provide both depth and color information using the same device. In this paper, we present a comparative analysis of the most important methods used in the literature for the registration of subsequent RGB-D video frames in static scenarios.
