Vision-based 3D Human Motion Analysis in a Hierarchical Way

In the last decade, computer vision has drawn more and more attention because of its potential applications in our daily lives, such as health care, education, safety, and training. However the high complexity of many of the vision-based approaches hinders their practical applications, especially in applications where immediate feedback is...

Multi-Scale Pattern Recognition for Image Classification and Segmentation

Scale is an important parameter of images. Different objects or image structures (e.g. edges and corners) can appear at different scales and each is meaningful only over a limited range of scales. Multi-scale analysis has been widely used in image processing and computer vision, serving as the basis for many high-level image analysis systems....

Crowd control by multiple cameras

One of the goals of the crowd control project at Delft University of Technology is to detect and track people during a crisis event, classify their behavior and assess what is happening. The assumption is that the crisis area is observed by multiple cameras (fixed or mobile). The cameras sense the environment and extract features such as the...
