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。电影和娱乐业正在使用动作数据库。然而，有效获取这类数据仍然是一项重大挑战。将开发的索引算法将使人们能够有效地访问数据。检索算法将使得能够检索运动数据。该项目还将开发集群技术，以便将类似的运动组合在一起，以便进行有效的检索。该建议具有很强的智力价值，并将为推进最先进的运动数据库做出贡献。虽然目前主要的应用领域是娱乐和电影行业，但该项目的成果可能会应用于国防、情报和交通应用。人们可以期待这个项目在国土安全应用中产生更广泛的影响。

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.
