Title: The Application of Microsimulation to Risk Modelling
Speaker: Mr Duc Thanh Nguyen
Day: Wednesday 4/11/2009
Location: Building 3. Common Staff Room
Time: 11.30-12.30
Abstract: Abstract: Human detection from still images and videos is a crucial step of human motion analysis that currently receives much attention in computer vision area. This presentation is to provide a comprehensive review on recent developments of human detection and then present a detection method employing local contour-appearance features. Experimental results and comparison with other state-of-the-art human detection methods will be presented. Finally, trends and future directions will be indicated and discussed by way of posing some of the remaining key problems.
