    A Multilingual Multimedia Indian Sign Language Dictionary Tool
    (Asian Federation of Natural Language Processing, 2008) Dasgupta, T.; Shukla, S.; Kumar, S.; Diwakar, S.; Basu, A.
    This paper presents a cross platform multilingual multimedia Indian Sign Language (ISL) dictionary building tool. ISL is a linguistically under-investigated language with no source of well documented electronic data. Research on ISL linguistics also gets hindered due to a lack of ISL knowledge and the unavailability of any educational tools. Our system can be used to associate signs corresponding to a given text. The current system also facilitates the phonological annotation of Indian signs in the form of HamNoSys structure. The generated HamNoSys string can be given as input to an avatar module to produce an animated sign representation. © 2008 Asian Federation of Natural Language Processing. All rights reserved.

    Entropy-difference based stereo error detection
    (2016) Mukherjee, S.; Cheng, I.; Ram Mohana Reddy, Guddeti; Basu, A.
    Stereo depth estimation is error-prone; hence, effective error detection methods are desirable. Most such existing methods depend on characteristics of the stereo matching cost curve, making them unduly dependent on functional details of the matching algorithm. As a remedy, we propose a novel error detection approach based solely on the input image and its depth map. Our assumption is that, entropy of any point on an image will be significantly higher than the entropy of its corresponding point on the image's depth map. In this paper, we propose a confidence measure, Entropy-Difference (ED) for stereo depth estimates and a binary classification method to identify incorrect depths. Experiments on the Middlebury dataset show the effectiveness of our method. Our proposed stereo confidence measure outperforms 17 existing measures in all aspects except occlusion detection. Established metrics such as precision, accuracy, recall, and area-under-curve are used to demonstrate the effectiveness of our method. � 2016 IEEE.
