Visual Analysis of People
The interest of the research group centers around
computer vision. Computer vision is the digital version of
human vision, where a camera replaces the eyes and al-
gorithms implemented in software replace the brain. The
research field of computer vision is about developing and
implementing such algorithms. The ambition is not only to
replicate the abilities of human visual perception, but also
going beyond human capabilities for example by seeing
in the dark or measuring the actual distance to an object.
We are working on many different computer vision topics,
but most of them are focused on automatic camera-based
analysis of people and their whereabouts. These activities
are collected in the Visual Analysis of People laboratory.
