We present an approach to tracking human activities in a monocular video. We model the human body by decomposing it into torso and limbs and use simple 3D shapes to approximate th...
The Kneed Walker is a physics-based model derived from a planar biomechanical characterization of human locomotion. By controlling torques at the knees, hips and torso, the model ...
We show that, from the output of a simple 3D human pose tracker one can infer physical attributes (e.g., gender and weight) and aspects of mental state (e.g., happiness or sadness)...
In gesture and sign language video sequences, hand motion tends to be rapid, and hands frequently appear in front of each other or in front of the face. Thus, hand location is oft...
