Multi-camera 3d person tracking with particle filter in a surveillance environment

Jean-Marc Odobez

In this work we present and evaluate a novel 3D approach to track single people in surveillance scenarios, using multiple cameras. The problem is formulated in a Bayesian filtering framework, and solved through sampling approximations (i.e. using a particl ...

Visual creation of inhabited 3D environments: An ontology-based approach

Daniel Thalmann, Alejandra Garcia Rojas Martinez

The creation of virtual reality applications and 3D environments is a complex task that requires good programming skills and expertise in computer graphics and many other disciplines. The complexity increases when we want to include complex entities such a ...

Multi-camera multi-person 3d space tracking with mcmc in surveillance scenarios

Jean-Marc Odobez

We present an algorithm for the tracking of a variable number of 3D persons in a multi-camera setting with partial field-of-view overlap. The multi-object tracking problem is posed in a Bayesian framework and relies on a joint multi-object state space with ...

3D Hand Model Fitting for Virtual Keyboard System

Edoardo Charbon, Huan Du

In this paper, a 3D hand model fitting method is presented which can recover the accurate finger positions for a virtual keyboard system. The 3D hand model consists of a detailed polygonal skin driven by an underlying skeleton system. The system uses a str ...

Spatio-temporal human pose detection

Miodrag Dimitrijevic

This thesis proposes a Chamfer-based method for human body pose detection that combines silhouette matching, motion information, and statistical relevance estimates in an original way. We demonstrate that our method can not only detect people but also reco ...
