Overview
With the ubiquitous presence of cameras, there has been an explosion of images and video data. While these visual data presents advantages and conveniences, they come with a cost: potential breach of privacy and confidentiality. In this event, discover the technical challenges and the possible solutions to predict human 3D poses from a monocular video.
With the ubiquitous presence of cameras (e.g. CCTV cameras, mobile phones, etc.), there has been an explosion of images and video data. While these visual data presents advantages and conveniences, they come with a cost: potential breach of privacy and confidentiality, particularly for information related to human poses and actions. In this event, Associate Professor Robby T. Tan will focus on the technical challenges and the possible solutions to predict human 3D poses from a monocular video.
For an in-depth look into the session, Associate Prof Tan will discuss some existing top-down and bottom-up approaches of human 3D pose estimation and explain in detail the problems when occlusions happen or when the ground-truth 3D data is insufficient to capture all possible poses. He will also share NCRIPT's solutions for these two crucial scenarios. By the end of the event, you will walk away with an understanding of the state of the art technologies that are ready to be utilised to analyse privacy information in videos related to human actions and poses.
