Articulated Motion and Deformable Objects: Third International Workshop, AMDO 2004, Palma de Mallorca, Spain, September 22-24, 2004, Proceedings / Edition 1

by Francisco J. Perales, Bruce A. Draper

Overview

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third International Workshop on Articulated Motion and Deformable Objects, AMDO 2004, held in Palma de Mallorca, Spain in September 2004.

The 25 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the book. Among the topics addressed are geometric and physical modeling of deformable objects, motion analysis, articulated models and animation, visualization of deformable models, 3D recovery from motion, single or multiple human motion analysis and synthesis, applications of deformable models and motion analysis, face tracking, recovering and recognition models, and virtual and augmented reality systems.
