Understanding human activity from video is one of the central
problems in the field of computer vision, driven by a wide variety
of applications in communications, entertainment, security,
commerce, and athletics.
This unique text/reference provides a coherent and comprehensive
overview of all aspects of video analysis of humans. Broad in
coverage and accessible in style, the text presents original
perspectives collected from preeminent researchers gathered from
across the world. In addition to presenting state-of-the-art
research, the book reviews the historical origins of the different
existing methods, and predicts future trends and challenges.
Topics and features: with a Foreword by Professor Larry Davis of
the University of Maryland Institute for Advanced Computer Studies,
USA; contains contributions from an international selection of
leading authorities in the field; includes an extensive glossary;
discusses the problems associated with detecting and tracking
people through camera networks; examines topics related to
determining the time-varying 3D pose of a person from video;
