Articulated motion and deformable objects

by AMDO (2002 Palma de mallorca, Spain)

The AMDO 2002 workshop took place at the Universitat de les Illes Balears (UIB) on 21–23 November, 2002, sponsored by the International Association for Pattern Recognition (IAPR), AERFAI (Spanish Association for Pattern Rec- nition and Image Analysis), the CICYT (Comision Interministerial de Ciencia y Tecnologia, Spanish Government), the European Commission (Human Potential Programme: High Level Scienti?c Conferences), and the Mathematics and C- puter Science Department of the UIB.

The goals of these areas are to understand and interpret the motion of complex objects that can be found in sequences of images in the real world.
