Abstract:
With the recent developments in Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition, surveillance applications are equipped with the capabilities of event/activity understanding and interpretation which usually require recognizing humans in real world scenes. Real world scenes such as airports, streets and train stations are complex because they involve many people, complicated occlusions and cluttered backgrounds. Although complex real world scenes exist, human detectors have the capability to locate pedestrians accurately even in complex scenes and visual trackers have the capability to track targets in

Wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE) offers a patient-friendly, non-invasive and painless investigation of the entire small intestine, where other conventional wired endoscopic instruments can barely reach. As a critical component of the capsule endoscopic examination, physicians need to know the precise position of the endoscopic capsule in order to identify the position of intestinal disease after it is detected by the video source. To define the position of the endoscopic capsule, we need to have a map of inside the human body. However, since the shape of the small intestine is extremely comple

Geometric reconstruction of dynamic objects is a fundamental task of computer vision and graphics, and modeling human body of high fidelity is considered to be a core of this problem.

Abstract:
Due to the large influx of computers in our daily lives, human-computer interaction has become crucially important. For a long time, focusing on what users need has been critical for designing interaction methods. However, new perspective tends to extend this attitude to encompass how human desires, interests, and ambitions can be met and supported. This implies that the way we interact with computers should be revisited. Centralizing human values rather than user needs is of the utmost importance for providing new interaction techniques.

At the fine level, richer features are available to identify different parts of the human body, therefore we rely on the body joint tracks.

Abstract:
This thesis focuses on 3D marker tracking for human gait analysis. In KISS Gait Analysis System at METU, a subject&#039<br>s gait is recorded with 6 cameras while 13 reflective markers are attached at appropriate locations on his/her legs and feet. These images are processed to extract 2 dimensional (2D) coordinates of the markers in each camera. The 3 dimensional (3D) coordinates of the markers are obtained by processing the 2D coordinates of the markers with linearization and calibration algorithms. Then 3D trajectories of the markers are formed using the 3D coordinates of the markers. In th

Abstract:
Motion capture technology has been applied in many fields such as animation, medicine, military, etc. since it was first proposed in the 1970s. Based on the principles applied, motion capture technology is generally classified into six categories: 1) Optical; 2) Inertial; 3) Magnetic; 4) Mechanical; 5) Acoustic and 6) Markerless. Different from the other five kinds of motion capture technologies which try to track path of specific points with different equipment, markerless systems recognize human or non-human body's motion with vision-based technology which focuses on analyzing and processing

Abstract:
The tabu search particle filter is proposed in this research based on the integration of the modified tabu search metaheuristic optimization and the genetic particle filter. Experiments with this algorithm in real time human tracking applications in unconstrained environments show that it is more robust, accurate and faster than a number of other existing metaheuristic filters, including the evolution particle filter, particle swarm filter, simulated annealing filter, path relink filter and scatter search filter. Quantitative evaluation illustrates that even with only ten particles in the syst
