Abstract: A method, computer readable storage medium, and system are disclosed for improving communication productivity in a conference between two or more subjects, wherein at least one of the two or more subjects participates in the conference from a first location and one or more of the two or more subjects participate in the meeting from a second location. The method includes capturing, at least one first three-dimensional (3D) stream of data and at least one second three-dimensional (3D) stream of data on each of the two or more subjects participating in the conference; generating a synchrony score for the two or more subjects, wherein the synchrony score is calculated by comparing time series of skeletal data of each of the two or more subjects to one another for a defined period of time; and using the synchrony score to generate an engagement index between the two or more subjects.

Abstract: A method, computer readable medium, and system are disclosed of enhancing cell images for analysis. The method includes performing a multi-thresholding process on a cell image to generate a plurality of images of the cell image; smoothing each component within each of the plurality of images; merging the smoothed components into a merger layer; classifying each of the components of the merged layer into convex cell regions and concave cell regions; combining the concave cell regions with a cell boundary for each of the corresponding concave cell regions to generate a smoothed shape profile for each of the concave cell regions; and generating an output image by combining the convex cell regions with the concave cell regions with smoothed shape profiles.

Abstract: A method, computer readable storage medium, and system are disclosed for improving communication productivity, comprising: capturing at least one three-dimensional (3D) stream of data on two or more subjects; extracting a time-series of skeletal data from the at least one 3D stream of data on the two or more subjects; and determining an engagement index between the two or more subjects by comparing the time-series of skeletal data on each of the two or more subjects over a time window.
