Motion

CALL FOR PAPERS:
The increasing deployment of video camera networks, spurred by the emergence
of increased surveillance needs for security purposes, has necessitated the
development of new and more efficient technologies for the automatic
modeling, analysis, and recognition of human motion in video sequences.
Moreover, different other applications like computer graphics, video
databases, video communications, and medicine can benefit from a better
understanding of human motion.
The development of new technologies for human motion analysis involves a
variety of challenging research problems. In gait-based recognition, it has
become apparent that efficient technologies can be developed by constructing
complicated gait models that include more detailed information about walking
individuals. In activity recognition, the definition, description, and
recognition of different kinds of human motion poses as an essential
research challenge towards the development of smart surveillance systems
that will be able to conduct reliable monitoring without any user
intervention. To this end, combined tracking and human motion understanding
are topics of particular interest. Issues related to the mathematical
modeling of human movements also require further investigation. In a
recognition framework, scalability issues, i.e., issues relevant the impact
in the efficiency of a system due to the registration of increased numbers
of subjects or activities in the reference database, are of great
importance.
This special issue aims to focus on emerging technologies related to the
above problems and comprehensively cover their system, processing and
application aspects.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Human recognition based on gait
- 2D and 3D human gait modeling
- 2D and 3D human motion modeling
- Feature extraction for human gait modeling
- Mathematical models of human motion
- Recognition of human actions
- Combined tracking and action recognition
- Indexing and retrieval of human activity databases
- Scalability issues in human motion recognition
- Recognition of complex human motion observed from a single camera
or a camera network.
- Applications in communications, graphics, medicine and multimedia.
