4DMod 2011 - 1st IEEE Workshop on Dynamic Shape Capture and Analysis

Modeling shapes that evolve over time, analyzing and interpreting their motion has been a subject of increasing interest of many research communities including the computer vision, the computer graphics and the medical imaging community. Recent evolutions in acquisition technologies including 3D depth cameras (Time-of-Light and Kinect), multi-camera systems, marker based motion capture systems, ultrasound and CT scans have made those communities consider capturing the real scene and their dynamics, create 4D spatio-temporal models, analyze and interpret them. A number of applications including motion capture, dynamic shape modeling and animation, temporally consistent 3D reconstruction, motion analyzes and interpretation have emerged. The purpose of this workshop is to provide a venue for researchers, from various communities, working in the field of modeling dynamic scenes from various modalities to present their work, exchange ideas and identify challenging issues in this domain.
