ITR Collaborative Research: Indexing, Retrieval, and Use of Large Motion Databases

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

The project will attempt to develop techniques for indexing and retrieving motion data. The PIs have already developed a substantial library of motion data. Motion databases are being used in the film and entertainment industry. However efficient access to such data is still a major challenge. The indexing algorithms to be developed will enable efficient access to the data. The retrieval algorithms will enable the retrieval of motion data. The project will also develop clustering techniques so that similar motions may be grouped together for efficient retrieval. The proposal has strong intellectual merit and will make contributions to advancing the state-of-the-art in motion databases. While the main application area at present is the entertainment and film industry, the results of the project may be applied to defense, intelligence and transportation applications. One can expect this project to have broader impact in homeland security applications.
