PhD, Articulated Human Post Estimation and Tracking

University of Manchester

09/2008 – 09/2012

Research into performing human pose estimation from still images and videos. Focused on applying mixture of Gaussian processes to large pose estimation data sets. Throughout this research I have developed extensive experience in a range of machine learning techniques used for probabilisitic regression, classification, clustering and dynamical modelling. Application areas include upper body tracking for sign language recognition, human detection, image feature extraction and human motion modelling.
