Call for Participation
Articulated Human Motion
One Day BMVA technical meeting in London, UK, on 23rd October 2009
Chairs: Dimitrios Makris (Kingston University), Aphrodite Galata
(University of Manchester)
Research in video-based solutions for estimating and interpreting
Articulated Human Motion attracts the interest of a growing number of
researchers in the field of Computer Vision, Computer Graphics and
Biomechanics. Recent research has focused on the development of
markerless non-intrusive systems, in contrast to the Motion Capture
systems that require the attachment of markers or sensors on the human body.
A wide range of industrial applications will benefit from research in
this area. For example, virtual replaying and analysis of athletes’
motion patterns in sports analysis, gait analysis, behaviour
understanding and event detection in visual surveillance, body motion
based interface in Human Computer Interaction, biomechanical analysis in
medical biomechanical analysis in orthopaedics and so forth.
The high-dimensional space of human poses, the non-linearity of
articulated motion and the projection of 3D human bodies onto 2D image
planes are some of the challenges in this domain.
The aim of this meeting is to bring researchers together to present and
discuss their work into this interdisciplinary research domain.
Submissions are invited within the following areas:
- 2D/3D pose recovery from still images
- 2D/3D articulated tracking
- Dimensionality reduction of human pose space
- Multiple-camera fusion
- Behaviour modelling and recognition
- Gait Analysis
- Human body modelling
- Evaluation datasets and metrics
Other topics within the broadly applicable domain of modelling, tracking
and understanding of articulated human motion will also be considered
for inclusion.
Please submit an extended summary of about one A4-sized page length (no
longer than 2 pages) in length (PDF preferred). Send contributions by
email attachment (1Mb max please) to Dimitrios Makris
([log in to unmask]) by 18th September 2009.
