Articulated Motion and Deformable Objects: First International Workshop, AMDO 2000 Palma de Mallorca, Spain, September 7-9, 2000 Proceedings (Lecture Notes in Computer Science)

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the First International Workshop on Articulated Motion and Deformable Objects, AMDO 2000, held in Palma de Mallorca, Spain in September 2000. The 15 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the book. As the first book devoted to articulated motion and deformable objects, this collection covers the following issues: geometry and physics of deformable objects, motion analyis, articulated motion and animation, visualization of deformable models, 3D-recovery from motion, single or multiple view human motion analysis and synthesis, and applications.
