Abstract

Given two or more video sequences containing similarhuman activities (running, jumping, etc.) we want to devisea method which extracts spatio-temporal signatures associatedwith these activities, compares these signatures, andaligns key positions of different videos. In this paper weintroduce a method which, in conjunction with a numberof hypotheses, allows the analysis of the motion of specificbody parts and extracts their 2D (image plane) time-varyingtrajectories as well as their 3D trajectories. Two such trajectoriesrecovered from two different videos have differentcharacteristics. We develop a curve registration techniquewhich consists of estimating a transformation mapping onetime-basis (of the first curve) onto another time-basis (thesecond curve). We also analyse in depth the conditions underwhich such curve registration techniques are valid. Finally,we show results with two similar athletic events performedby two different athletes.
