Virtual fashion show using real-time markerless motion capture

This paper presents a motion capture system using two cameras that is capable of estimating a constrained set of human postures in real time. We first obtain a 3D shape model of a person to be tracked and create a posture dictionary consisting of many posture examples. The posture is estimated by hierarchically matching silhouettes generated by projecting the 3D shape model deformed to have the dictionary poses onto the image plane with the observed silhouette in the current image. Based on this method, we have developed a virtual fashion show system that renders a computer graphics-model moving synchronously to a real fashion model, but wearing different clothes.

Visconti2 - a heterogeneous multi-core SoC for image-recognition applications

This article consists of a collection of slides from the authors conference presentation on Toshibas Visconti2, a heterogeneous multi-core system-on-chip (SoC) for image recognitions applications. Some of the specific topics discussed include: the special features and system specifications of Visconti2; image recognition technology and applications for its use; assisted driver systems that deploy image recognition systems; Visconti2 chip architecture; applications that use Visconti2 technologies; pedestrian detection and gesture recognition for CoHOG recognition; and future areas of technological development for the Visconti2 product line.
