PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT IEEE Computer Society WORKSHOP ON HUMAN MOTION Marriott-at-the-Capital Hotel Austin, Texas December 7- 8, 2000 HUMAN MOTION is one of the most complex and compelling problems in computer vision today. Given the ability to recognize human motions and activities, computer vision systems could, and will some day, prove enormously beneficial in a broad range of application areas from athletics and kinesthesiology to biomedicine to civil and defense security systems. Before such systems become reality, many challenging problems must be solved. The IEEE Computer Society Workshop on Human Motion seeks to bring together the most current research on topics in computer vision for human motion, including but not limited to: 3D recovery of human motion Dynamic medical image analysis Dynamic texture analysis Human activity recognition Human motion analysis - tracking and recognition Human tracking systems for surveillance and security Model-based techniques for human activity recognition Multicamera data fusion for recognition of human activities Recognition of human interactions Segmentation of the human body Single view tracking & automated camera switching Tracking from multiple perspectives Workshop Co-chairs: J.
