Overview

The University of California at Berkeley is one of four institutions participating in the Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative (MURI) on Human Motion Identification. The main web set for the project can be found here. We are working on computational vision approaches to analyzing human movement. We are interested in problems such as locating people in still images, tracking people across video sequences, and recognizing human activities. There are many possible applications for automated analysis of human movement. These include surveillance, gait analysis, and motion capture.
