Mesh Vertex Pose and Position Interpolation Using Geometric Algebra
This paper presents a method of interpolating between two or more general displacements (rotation and translation). The resulting interpolated path is smooth and possesses a number...

Learning to Look at Humans - What Are the Parts of a Moving Body?
We present a system that can segment articulated, non-rigid motion without a priori knowledge of the number of clusters present in the analyzed scenario. We combine existing algori...

A Comparative Study on Using Zernike Velocity Moments and Hidden Markov Models for Hand Gesture Recognition
Hand-gesture recognition presents a challenging problem for computer vision due to the articulated structure of the human hand and the complexity of the environments in which it is...

Bone Glow: An Improved Method for the Assignment of Weights for Mesh Deformation
Many real-time algorithms for mesh deformation driven by animation of an underlying skeleton make use of a set of per-bone weights associated with each vertex. There are few unguid...

Apperance-Based Tracking and Face Identification in Video Sequences
We present a technique for face recognition in videos. We are able to recognise a face in a video sequence, given a single gallery image. By assuming that the face is in an approxi...

Predicting Missing Markers to Drive Real-Time Centre of Rotation Estimation
This paper addresses the problem of real-time location of the joints or centres of rotation (CoR) of human skeletons in the presence of missing data. The data is assumed to be 3d m...
