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 ...

Bridging the Gap between Detection and Tracking for 3D Monocular Video-Based Motion Capture

Pascal Fua, Vincent Lepetit, Andrea Fossati, Miodrag Dimitrijevic

We combine detection and tracking techniques to achieve robust 3-D motion recovery of people seen from arbitrary viewpoints by a single and potentially moving camera. We rely on detecting key postures, which can be done reliably, using a motion model to in ...

Motion models for robust 3D human body tracking

Raquel Urtasun

In this work, we propose new ways to learn pose and motion priors models and show that they can be used to increase the performance of 3D body tracking algorithms, resulting in very realistic motions under very challenging conditions. We first explored an ...

On-line locomotion synthesis for virtual humans

Pascal Glardon

Ever since the development of Computer Graphics in the industrial and academic worlds in the seventies, public knowledge and expertise have grown in a tremendous way, notably because of the increasing fascination for Computer Animation. This specific field ...

Interactive techniques for motion deformation of articulated figures using prioritized constraints

Benoît Le Callennec

Convincingly animating virtual humans has become of great interest in many fields since recent years. In computer games for example, virtual humans often are the main characters. Failing to realistically animate them may wreck all previous efforts made to ...

A biomechanics-based articulation model for medical applications

Anderson Maciel

Computer Graphics came into the medical world especially after the arrival of 3D medical imaging. Computer Graphics techniques are already integrated in the diagnosis procedure by means of the visual tridimensional analysis of computer tomography, magnetic ...

A Video Database for Head Pose Tracking Evaluation

Jean-Marc Odobez, Silèye Oumar Ba

This document describes our work to provide a video database, of people in real situations with their head pose continuously annotated through time. The head poses were annotated using a magnetic 3d location and orientation tracker, the flock of bird. The ...

Using biomechanical constraints to improve video-based motion capture

Lorna Herda

In motion capture applications whose aim is to recover human body postures from various input, the high dimensionality of the problem makes it desirable to reduce the size of the search-space by eliminating a priori impossible configurations. This can be c ...

3D human body tracking using deterministic temporal motion models

Pascal Fua, Raquel Urtasun

There has been much effort invested in increasing the robustness of human body tracking by incorporating motion models. Most approaches are probabilistic in nature and seek to avoid becoming trapped into local minima by considering multiple hypotheses, whi ...

Motion tracking for human-robot interaction

Björn Jensen

This thesis aims at improving the perceptional side of interaction to enable the handling of more complex situations. For the Swiss National Exposition Expo.02 the robot RoboX and an event-driven interaction system have been designed by members of our lab. ...
