The analysis of animate object motion using neural networks and snakes
Tabb, Ken; George, S.; Davey, N.; Adams, R.G. (2000)This paper presents a mechanism for analysing the deformable shape of an object as it moves across the visual field. An object’s outline is detected using active contour models, and is then re-represented as shape, location ... -
Analysis of human motion using snakes and neural networks
Tabb, Ken; George, S.; Davey, N.; Adams, R.G. (2000)A novel technique is described for analysing human movement in outdoor scenes. Following initial detection of the humans using active contour models, the contours are then re-represented as normalised axis crossover vectors. ... -
