Biography
Nationality: Italian
Date of birth: 4th August 1982
PhD student in collaboration between the ISIR and the IIT (Italy) since the 1st January 2008
Research Topic
Robust tracking of articulated objects in order to comprehend motor activity of human beings
The interaction between man and machines is an important research topic, as it can generalize the use of robots from conventional robotics aspects to companion machines which interact with humans.
To enable robots acting like humans and interacting with them deals with an accurate detection and real-time tracking of human body parts.
The aim of this research is so to investigate human gestures starting from the detections of human movements in communicating tasks.
This problem can be stated as tracking articulated human motion in images. This involves the localization and identification of a set of linked and articulated subparts in a three-dimensional space.
