Example-based skeleton extraction
We present a method for extracting a hierarchical, rigid skeleton from a set of example poses. We then use this skeleton to not only reproduce the example poses, but create new de...

Discovering Characteristic Actions from On-Body Sensor Data
We present an approach to activity discovery, the unsupervised identification and modeling of human actions embedded in a larger sensor stream. Activity discovery can be seen as ...

Curious Snakes: a minimum-latency solution to the cluttered background problem in active contours
We present a region-based active contour detection algorithm for objects that exhibit relatively homogeneous photometric characteristics (e.g. smooth color or gray levels), embe...
