Editorial
This issue comprises four sections on different topics. In the first section on games,
therearefourpapers.Inthefirstpaper,byAndreeaMolnaretal.,theauthorspresentan
interactive digital storytelling (IDS) formalization that captures the IDS logic con-
straints. This was implemented ina game engine and an authoring tool was created to
facilitate the development of IDS-based games. In the second paper, by Qing Wang
et al., a methodology is proposed for integrating knowledge with applied games
combining recreational functions and pedagogic effects. For this purpose, a unified
representation based on ontology is employed for game elements, game challenge
models, and knowledge expression with which the relationship-mapping mechanism
from diverse categories of knowledge of game atomic elements, especially primary
rule, is constructed. In the third paper, by Haiying Zhao et al., the authors apply AR
technology to develop an AR basketball smart phone game. Users can control the
interaction of their counterparts in the virtual world through an image characteristics
identification card, which is interactive and playable. The fourth paper, by Chenyang
Cui, aims to articulate the cultural characteristics of digital games from three aspects:
mass media, mass culture, international communication.
Inthesecondsectiononhuman–computerinteractiontherearefourpapers.Thefirst
paper, by Shichang Feng et al., deals with the problem of finding 3D hand models
corresponding to the user’s 3D hand pose in the initial frames. Blending computer
interaction techniques and cognition theories, a novel initialization approach for 3D
handmodelsisputforwardtomaketheinitializationprocessmorehuman-oriented.In
thesecondpaper,byBenyueSuetal.,theauthorsdevelopamethodforrecognitionof
human daily actions by using a wearable motion sensor system. It can recognize 13
daily actions with the data in WARD1.0 efficiently. In the third paper, Hongpu Liu
etal.proposeanintelligentrehabilitationsupportingsystembasedontheKinectdevice
for the physical rehabilitation of stroke patients with apoplectic hemiplegia. In the
fourth paper, by Hui Liu et al., the authors present the concept of a virtual interface,
which narrows the effective area of hand activity to a specific region.
In the third section on image and graphics, there are five papers. In the first paper,
Xiaoyan Li et al. propose a novel pixel-level change detection method based on the
fuzzy distance for the interest building areas. Based on the imaging characteristics of
synthetic aperture radar images in building areas, the variogram texture and gray
feature are combined to form the feature vector in order to describe the image pixel
feature clearly. In the second paper, by Jia Liu et al., a fast plant modeling method
basedonBPneuralnetworksisproposed.Theinputisaplantimage.Userscansketch

colony optimization (ACO) with a distributed adaptive threshold strategy (DATS).
They propose an interactive construction method of 3D objects from Chinese ink
paintings for the challenging problem of generating the Chinese ink animation. The
fifth paper, by Yunliang Jiang et al., presents a novel vertex mesh simplification
algorithm based on curvature and distance metrics, using vertex curvature on the
boundarytypeclassificationtogetthealternativevertexofthefoldededgethroughthe
LOOP subsidiary patterns.
In the fourth sections on applications, there are four papers. In the first paper,
Jianwen Song et al. present the color analyzing and designing toolkits of the project
product, which not only accords with the designer’s intelligence and experience, but
also proposesanew methodforcolor analyzingandteaching. Inthesecond paper, by
Ruisong Ye, the chaotic nature of affine transformation is studied. The affine trans-
formationisthenutilizedtogeneratepseudo-randomnumbersequencesandisapplied

of generating birthday couplets fitting to gender, age, and birthday time. The birthday
couplets generated by this system not only can fit the main features of birthday cou-
plets, but can also embed the user’s names.
