Motion Analysis and Synthesis from Video with Multimedia Applications: Articulated-undulatory Motion Analysis and the Curve Equipartition Problem for Image Understanding and 3D Animation Costas Panagiotakis

This book aim to address the open problem of articulated and undulatory motion analysis for action/activity recognition and 3-D animation synthesis. Concisely, the main goal is to propose general models and methods of middle level analysis (e.g. detection-tracking algorithms), aiming at high level analysis for humans (e.g. action and activity recognition) and 3-D animation synthesis for animals. Moreover, we study the curve equipartition problem (EP), which consists a fundamental geometrical problem that has risen from undulatory motion analysis and has applications in computer science.
