Modeling Shape, Appearance and Motion for Human Movement Analysis
… are the most important cues for analyzing human movements in visual surveillance. Representation of these visual cues should be rich, invariant and discriminative. We present several approaches to model and integrate them for human detection and segmentation, person identification, and action …

An eye-movement analysis of the word-predictability effect
… or parallel. In five experiments, adults’ eye-movements were monitored as they read sentences for comprehension on a computer screen. In Experiments 1 and 2, a critical target-word that was either of high- or low-frequency and either predictable or unpredictable was embedded in experimental …

Transcendent leader centered analysis: A reconstructive approach to social movement analysis
This essay proposed a framework for social movement analysis that extends postmodern deconstructive techniques to a form of reconstruction which transcends the exploration of how language can say many different things simultaneously. By assessing the rhetoric of a movement, the leaders' view of …

Human Movement Analysis: Ballistic Dynamics, and Edge Continuity for Pose Estimation
We present two contributions to human movement analysis: (a) a ballistic dynamical model for recognizing movements, and (b) a model for coupling edge continuity with contour matching. We describe a Bayesian approach for visual analysis of ballistic hand movements, namely reaches and strikes. These …

Understanding the effectiveness of visual cues through analyzing eye gaze data
Historically eye movement analysis has been viewed to provide a window onto the audience’s mind, as stated in the eye mind hypothesis and it has been found that eye gaze pattern and mental process is closely related. To investigate the effectiveness of visual cues accompanied by audio narration, we …

Extending the boundary method for solving human motion problems using a 3 dimensional coupled pendulum model
Mathematical modeling, an evolving area in movement analysis research, couples quantitative measures of human motion with theoretical concepts in physiology and mechanics. Literature reveals two methods to solve for human motion problems, Forward and Inverse Mechanics. In this investigation, a new …
