We present a new method for full-body motion capture that uses input data captured by three
depth cameras and a pair of pressure-sensing shoes. Our system is appealing because it is …

Human activity recognition has a variety of important real-world applications, such as video
analysis, surveillance, and human-robot interaction. As a promising video representation …

While context-aware assistive systems (CAAS) have become ubiquitous in cars or
smartphones, most workers in production environments still rely on their skills and expertise …

In this paper, we propose a novel model-free approach for tracking multiple objects from
RGB-D point set data. This study aims to achieve the robust tracking of arbitrary objects …

As sensor resolution increases, the accuracy and robustness of tracking algorithms can be
improved by incorporating more information about the shape of the target object. This raises …

Decomposition can be a highly variable process with stages that are difficult to quantify.
Using high accuracy terrestrial laser scanning a repeated three-dimensional (3D) …

Kinect is a line of motion sensing input devices by Microsoft for Xbox 360 and Xbox One
video game consoles and Windows PCs. Based around a webcam-style add-on peripheral …

Using high-level attributes to guide image processing is described. In an embodiment high-
level attributes of images of people such as height, torso orientation, body shape, gen der …

Identification of body parts is an important first step for many tasks such as action recognition
in automatic surveillance systems. In this paper, we present a body part segmentation …
