Research Description

I am developing methodology for the analysis as well as the understanding of rigid and non-rigid motion in a number of areas including human motion, motion of living biological objects for example frogs heart and the motion of rigid articulated objects where the images of objects are occuluded and noisy. The ultimate goal is to recognize the object as well as characterize its motion. For human motion, the objective is to track human motion in day to day activities. For the motion of the frog's heart, the stereo microscope images of a live vibrating frog's heart are used to characterize the structure and the motion of the heart. For rigid as well as articulated motion, the objective is to recognize objects and charaterise their position and shape.
