This book presents a markerless motion alaysis of deformable objects which have high-degree of freedom. In particular, motion analysis in the space of diffusion tensor fields is applied to various areas in computer vision and computer graphics. Skeleton features from a two-dimensional image or three-dimensional volume data are extracted and split for human action recognition, sketch-based image retrieval.
