[Bodo_Rosenhahn,_Reinhard_Klette,_Dimitris_Metaxas]Human Motion Understanding, Modelling, Capture, and Animation(pdf){Zzzzz}

This is the first book which informs about recent progress in biomechanics, computer vision and computer graphics – all in one volume. Researchers from these areas have contributed to this book to promote the establishment of human motion research as a multi-facetted discipline and to improve the exchange of ideas and concepts between these three areas. The book combines carefully written reviews with detailed reports on recent progress in research.
