Static and Dynamic Human Shape Modeling - Concept Formation and Technology Development

Abstract

Abstract : Extensive investigations were performed in this project on human shape modeling. The problem was addressed from the perspectives of static shape modeling and morphing, human shape modeling in various poses, dynamic modeling, and human activity replication/animation. The major problems involved in each topic were identified, and the methods and techniques were developed or formulated for them. Some of these methods or algorithms were implemented, and the results were presented and discussed. Conclusions were drawn from research results and findings, the issues remaining were described, and the future work was discussed.
