Discovery Early Career Researcher Award - Grant ID: DE150101365

Funded Activity Summary

In-person tele-presence through hybrid camera networks. This project aims to develop novel theories and algorithms for live capturing of accurate dense 3D models of moving subjects based on hybrid camera networks. The latter consist of a mix of static external red, green, blue plus depth (RGB-D) cameras and a dynamic head-mounted regular camera. The scientific novelties will be dense, non-rigid, and collaborative structure-from-motion theories that maximise the exploitation of such hybrid information, for instance by utilising exact head-pose information. The outcome is a working prototype producing live full-body animations, thus leveraging new applications in the Information Technology industry. Highly strategically relevant examples are given by 3D tele-presence, enhanced tele-operation, robotics, and intelligent transportation systems.
