MORPHEO Research team

Capture and Analysis of Shapes in Motion

Team presentation

Morpheo's main objective is the ability to perceive and to interpret moving shapes using multiple camera systems for the analysis of animal motion, animation synthesis and immersive and interactive environments. Multiple camera systems allow dense information on both shapes and their motion to be recovered from visual cues. Such ability to perceive shapes in motion brings a rich domain for research investigations on how to model, understand and animate real dynamic shapes.

Research themes

Morpheo is concerned with the development of computational solutions for the perception and the analysis of shapes in motion. The associated research is organized according to the following main axis:
  • Shape acquisition from heterogeneous cameras;
  • Shape analysis;
  • Motion analysis;
  • Immersive and interactive environments.
