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

该项目将尝试开发索引和检索运动数据的技术。pi已经开发了大量的运动数据库。电影和娱乐行业正在使用动态数据库。然而，有效地获取这些数据仍然是一个重大挑战。将要开发的索引算法将使对数据的有效访问成为可能。检索算法将使运动数据的检索成为可能。该项目还将开发聚类技术，以便将相似的动作分组在一起，以便有效地检索。该建议具有很强的智力价值，并将为推进最新的运动数据库做出贡献。虽然目前主要应用领域是娱乐和电影行业，但该项目的成果可能应用于国防，智能和交通应用。可以预期，该项目将对国土安全应用产生更广泛的影响。

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.
