View-invariant action recognition from point triplets.

29 Sep 2009 We propose a new view-invariant measure for action recognition. For this purpose, we introduce the idea that the motion of an articulated body can be decomposed into rigid motions of planes defined by triplets of body points. Using the fact that the ... Read more...


Robust multiperson tracking from a mobile platform.

29 Sep 2009 In this paper, we address the problem of multiperson tracking in busy pedestrian zones using a stereo rig mounted on a mobile platform. The complexity of the problem calls for an integrated solution that extracts as much visual information as ... Read more...


A Mixture of Transformed Hidden Markov Models for elastic motion estimation.

29 Sep 2009 Elastic motion is a nonrigid motion constrained only by some degree of smoothness and continuity. Consequently, elastic motion estimation by explicit feature matching actually contains two correlated subproblems: shape registration and motion ... Read more...
