2D/3D Human Analysis

Human motion analysis or more generally looking at people is one of the most active research areas in computer vision. The general goals are to detect and track persons, recognize them and interpret their behaviour based on the visual analysis of images or videos. This topic has attracted great interest due to its promising applications in diverse areas such as access control, human computer interaction, smart rooms, visual surveillance, virtual reality, video conferencing and content based multimedia retrieval. Depending on the application, different aspects of a person (object, face, body) are analyzed. While typical surveillance applications treat a person as general object by considering only its global appearance and position in an environment, access control applications are using face and gait information to identify persons. Human computer interfaces and smart room applications are typically based on human gestures and expressions which requires an analysis of the body and the face of a person.
