After successful completion of the course, students are able to identify key techniques for visual analysis and vlsualization of human pose and motion by using images and videos, to describes their characteristics, and to judge their applicability to a given application.
The course makes students acquainted with various 2D and 3D techniques for the analysis and visualization of human motion using images and videos. This inludes topics such as motion tracking, human body models, human pose estimation, and the usage of eye-tracking techniques. In particular, the course addresses human action recognition, applications in sports, and selected aspects of human-robot interaction.
The lecture slides will be provided on TUWEL and are supplemented by suitable video material, demos, and weblinks, in order to illustrate the lecture content and current research questions
