VILSS: Upper body pose estimation for sign language and gesture recognition

James Charles, University of Leeds In this talk I present methods for estimating the upper body pose of people performing gestures and sign language in long video sequences. Our methods are based on random forests classifiers and regressors which have proved successful for inferring pose from depth data (Kinect). Here, I will show how we develop […]

VILSS: Intelligent signal processing and learning in imaging

Panagiotis Tsakalides, University of Crete Modern technologies, including the proliferation of high performance sensors and network connectivity, have revolutionized imaging systems used in applications ranging from medical and astronomical imaging to consumer photography. These applications demand even higher speed, scale, and resolution, which are typically limited by specific imaging and processing components. While striving for more […]
