Human Activity and Interaction Modeling

==========

Successful human activity and interaction analysis requires robust people tracking and identification technologies. Central to the design of such a system is to represent and recognize human activities. This involves studying qualitative, or symbolic, representations of human activities and social interactions. We are interested in modeling the detailed activities and interactions in different scenarios, e.g., a meeting room and a nursing home.
