A Practical Approach to Using Motion Capture in Performance Dance

Markerless systems are becoming more ubiquitous due to their increased use in video games consoles. Cheap cameras and software suites are making motion capture technologies more freely available to the digitally inclined choreographer. In this workshop we will demonstrate the opportunities and limitations provided by easily accessible and relatively inexpensive markerless motion capture systems. In particular we will explore the capacity of these systems to provide useful data in a live performance scenario where the latency, size and format of the captured data is crucial in allowing real-time processing and visualisation of the captured scen

Detección de Escenas de Violencia con Modelos Deep Learning

Este Trabajo de Fin de Grado propone desarrollar un sistema de detección automática de escenas violentas. En primer lugar, se realiza un estudio del estado del arte examinando las distintas herramientas técnicas disponibles para el análisis de vídeo, concentrando este trabajo en el empleo de técnicas de aprendizaje automático, en concreto el aprendizaje profundo (deep learning). Se compararán distintos modelos convolucionales profundos con el objetivo de entender las ventajas y desventajas de estas técnicas de análisis y su aplicación en el caso de reconocimiento de escenas de violencia. Se usan modelos tanto totalmente desarrollados como modelos basados en transferencia de aprendizaje (transfer learning) con el objetivo de mejorar la calidad de la red entrenada. Se procede a perfeccionar estos modelos con técnicas que se apoyan en otros campos de aprendizaje profundo para mejorar su capacidad, y por último se somete a examen el modelo en juegos de datos (Datasets) públicos como: MoviesFight y HockeyFight, con el objetivo de medir su tasa de acierto y entendimiento cualitativo del modelo. Por último, se revisan futuras perspectivas de investigación que surgen a partir de las conclusiones de este trabajo

3D Information Technologies in Cultural Heritage Preservation and Popularisation

This Special Issue of the journal Applied Sciences presents recent advances and developments in the use of digital 3D technologies to protect and preserve cultural heritage. While most of the articles focus on aspects of 3D scanning, modeling, and presenting in VR of cultural heritage objects from buildings to small artifacts and clothing, part of the issue is devoted to 3D sound utilization in the cultural heritage field

Human Computer Interaction and Emerging Technologies

The INTERACT Conferences are an important platform for researchers and practitioners in the field of human-computer interaction (HCI) to showcase their work. They are organised biennially by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) Technical Committee on Human–Computer Interaction (IFIP TC13), an international committee of 30 member national societies and nine Working Groups. INTERACT is truly international in its spirit and has attracted researchers from several countries and cultures. With an emphasis on inclusiveness, it works to lower the barriers that prevent people in developing countries from participating in conferences. As a multidisciplinary field, HCI requires interaction and discussion among diverse people with different interests and backgrounds. The 17th IFIP TC13 International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction (INTERACT 2019) took place during 2-6 September 2019 in Paphos, Cyprus. The conference was held at the Coral Beach Hotel Resort, and was co-sponsored by the Cyprus University of Technology and Tallinn University, in cooperation with ACM and ACM SIGCHI. This volume contains the Adjunct Proceedings to the 17th INTERACT Conference, comprising a series of selected papers from workshops, the Student Design Consortium and the Doctoral Consortium. The volume follows the INTERACT conference tradition of submitting adjunct papers after the main publication deadline, to be published by a University Press with a connection to the conference itself. In this case, both the Adjunct Proceedings Chair of the conference, Dr Usashi Chatterjee, and the lead Editor of this volume, Dr Fernando Loizides, work at Cardiff University which is the home of Cardiff University Press
