In tangible augmented reality (AR) environments, the user interacts with virtual objects by manipulating their physical counterparts, but he or she often encounters awkward situations in which his or her hands are occluded by the augmented virtual objects, which causes great difficulty in figuring out hand positions, and reduces both immersion and ease of interaction. To solve the problem of such hand occlusion, skin color information has been usefully exploited. In this paper, we propose an approach to simple and effective construction of a skin color map which is suitable for hand segmentation and tangible AR interaction. The basic idea used herein is to obtain hand images used in a target AR environment by simple image subtraction and to represent their color information by a convex polygonal map in the YCbCr color space. We experimentally found that the convex polygonal map is more accurate in representing skin color than a conventional rectangular map. After implementing a solution for resolving hand occlusion using the proposed skin color map construction, we showed its usefulness by applying it to virtual design evaluation of digital handheld products in a tangible AR environment.

In this paper, a coincidence theorem for a compact ${\Re}\mathfrak{C}$-map is proved in an abstract convex space. Several more general coincidence theorems for noncompact ${\Re}\mathfrak{C}$-maps are derived in abstract convex spaces. Some examples are given to illustrate our coincidence theorems. As applications, an alternative theorem concerning the existence of maximal elements, an alternative theorem concerning equilibrium problems and a minimax inequality for three functions are proved in abstract convex spaces.

Applications of the classical Knaster-Kuratowski-Mazurkiewicz (si-mply, KKM) theorem and the fixed point theory of multifunctions defined on convex subsets of topological vector spaces have been greatly improved by adopting the concept of convex spaces due to Lassonde [L1]. In this direction, the first author [P5] found that certain coincidence theorems on a large class of composites of upper semicontinuous multifunctions imply many fundamental results in the KKM theory.

Most of the previous algorithms focus on computing the convex hull for a set of points. In this paper, we present a method for approximating the convex hull for a set of spheres with various radii in discrete space. Computing the convex hull for a set of spheres is a base technology for many applications that study structural properties of molecules. We present a voxel map data structures, where the molecule is represented as a set of spheres, and corresponding algorithms. Based on CUDA programming for using the parallel architecture of GPU, our algorithm takes less than 40ms for computing the convex hull of 6,400 spheres in average.

We show that any F-harmonic map from a compact manifold M to N is necessarily constant if N possesses a strictly-convex function, and prove 'Liouville type theorems' for F-harmonic maps. Finally, when the target manifold is the real line, we get a result for F-subharmonic functions.

Topological semilattices with path-connected intervals are special abstract convex spaces. In this paper, we obtain generalized KKM type theorems and their analytic formulations, maximal element theorems and collectively fixed point theorems on abstract convex spaces. We also apply them to topological semilattices with path-connected intervals, and obtain generalized forms of the results of Horvath and Ciscar, Luo, and Al-Homidan et al..

In this work, we obtain intersection theorem, analytic alternative and von Neumann type minimax theorem in G-convex spaces. We also generalize Ky Fan minimax inequality to acyclic versions in G-convex spaces. The result is applied to formulate acyclic versions of other minimax results, a theorem of systems of inequalities and analytic alternative.

In this article we derive some best approximation theorems for multimaps in abstract convex metric spaces. We are based on generalized KKM maps due to Kassay-Kolumbán, Chang-Zhang, and studied by Park, Kim-Park, Park-Lee, and Lee. Our main results are extensions of a recent work of Mitrović-Hussain-Sen-Radenović on G-convex metric spaces to partial KKM metric spaces. We also recall known works related to single-valued maps, and introduce new partial KKM metric spaces which can be applied our new results.

We give general fixed point theorems for compact multimaps in the "better" admissible class $B^{K}$ defined on admissible convex subsets (in the sense of Klee) of a topological vector space not necessarily locally convex. Those theorems are used to obtain results for $\Phi$-condensing maps. Our new theorems subsume more than seventy known or possible particular forms, and generalize them in terms of the involving spaces and the multimaps as well. Further topics closely related to our new theorems are discussed and some related problems are given in the last section.n.

For A bounded subset G of a metric Space (X,d) and $\chi \in X$, let $f_{G}$ be the real-valued function on X defined by $f_{G}$($\chi$)=sup{$d (\chi, g)\in:G$}, and $F(G,\chi)$={$z \in X:sup_{g \in G}d(g,z)=sup_{g \in G}d(g,\chi)+d(\chi,z)$}. In this paper we discuss some properties of the map $f_G$ and of the set $ F(G, \chi)$ in convex metric spaces. A sufficient condition for an element of a convex metric space X to lie in $ F(G, \chi)$ is also given in this pope.
