Centre for the Analysis of Motion, Entertainment Research and Applications (CAMERA)

运动、娱乐研究和应用分析中心（CAMERA）将建立并扩展巴斯大学领先研究人员之间现有的有影响力的关系，并得到大学、外部合作伙伴的投资支持，以及巴斯大学EPSRC数字娱乐博士培训中心（CDE）的密切参与。CAMERA将以现有的应用视觉技术专业知识为基础，并与CDE紧密联系，利用多学科研究领域的知识、技能和成果。这些项目包括计算机视觉、图形学、动作捕捉、人机交互、生物力学和医疗保健，得到了RCUK和其他资助者的强大DE研究资金组合的支持。CAMERA将为我们的合作伙伴公司及其行业提供应用视觉技术，以实现高经济，社会和文化影响。巴斯大学通过与35家英国创新公司签订合同的CDE，在创新创意产业研究和研究生培训方面处于英国领先地位。从我们在视觉技术领域建立的核心实力-捕捉，建模和可视化现实世界-以及我们在娱乐传递研究方面的强大历史基础，CAMERA将与世界领先的视觉娱乐公司the Imaginarium和the Foundry合作，专注于电影，电视视觉效果（VFX）和视频游戏方面的高影响力工作。这一重点合作将推动人类动作捕捉、理解和动画领域的技术边界，以及艺术家驱动的视觉效果制作，为我们现有的CDE合作伙伴关系提供支持。在这个坚实的基础上，我们将在数字经济主题下，将视觉技术扩展和应用到具有高经济、社会和文化影响的新领域。其中包括与英国骨骼和BMT国防服务的合作伙伴合作的人类绩效增强；卫生、康复和辅助技术，与国防部的伙伴合作。CAMERA很好地引领了视觉技术在这些新方向上的应用：巴斯大学的研究人员在过去的10年里帮助运动员赢得了15枚奥运会和世界锦标赛的奖牌，并为使残疾退伍军人融入平民生活的国家努力做出了重大贡献。

The Centre for the Analysis of Motion, Entertainment Research and Applications (CAMERA) will build on and extend existing impactful relationships between leading researchers at the University of Bath supported by investment from the University, from external partners and with the close participation of Bath's EPSRC Doctoral Training Centre for Digital Entertainment (CDE). Building on existing expertise in Applied Visual Technology and closely linked with the CDE, CAMERA will draw on knowledge, skills and outputs across multi-disciplinary research areas. These include Computer Vision, Graphics, Motion-Capture, Human-Computer Interaction, Biomechanics and Healthcare, underpinned by a strong portfolio of DE research funding from RCUK and other funders. CAMERA will deliver Applied Visual Technology into our partners companies and their industries, to achieve high economic, societal and cultural impact.Bath leads the UK in innovative creative industry research and training for post-graduates through our CDE, which is contractually partnered with 35 innovative UK companies. Growing from our established core strength in the area of Visual Technology - capturing, modelling and visualising the real world - and our strong historical foundation of entertainment-delivered research, CAMERA will focus on high-impact work in movies, TV visual vffects (VFX) and video games with partners at the The Imaginarium and The Foundry, two of the world's leading visual entertainment companies. This focused collaboration will push the boundaries of technology in the area of human motion capture, understanding and animation, and artist driven visual effects production, feeding into our existing CDE partnerships.From this strong foundation, we will extend and apply visual technology to new areas of high economic, societal and cultural impact within the digital economy theme. These include Human Performance Enhancement, with partners in British Skeleton and BMT Defence Services; and Health, Rehabilitation and Assistive Technologies, with partners in the Ministry of Defence.CAMERA is well placed to lead the application of Visual Technology in these new directions: Bath researchers have helped athletes to win 15 Olympic and World Championship medals in the last 10 years and have contributed significantly to national efforts in integrating ex-soldiers with disabilities into civilian life.
