Journal Article
Drory, A., Li, H., & Hartley, R. (2017). Estimating the projected frontal surface area of cyclists from images using a variational framework and statistical shape and appearance models. Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part P: Journal of Sports Engineering and Technology, 231(3), 169-183. https://doi.org/10.1177/1754337117705489

We present a computer vision-based approach to estimating the projected frontal surface area (pFSA) of cyclists from unconstrained images. Wind tunnel studies show a reduction in cyclists’ aerodynamic drag through manipulation of the cyclist’s pose....

© 2017 Elsevier Ltd We present a supervised machine learning approach for markerless estimation of human full-body kinematics for a cyclist from an unconstrained colour image. This approach is motivated by the limitations of existing marker-based app... Read More about A learning-based markerless approach for full-body kinematics estimation in-natura from a single image.

Automated detection and tracking of slalom paddlers from broadcast image sequences using cascade classifiers and discriminative correlation filters (2016)
Journal Article
Drory, A., Zhu, G., Li, H., & Hartley, R. (2017). Automated detection and tracking of slalom paddlers from broadcast image sequences using cascade classifiers and discriminative correlation filters. Computer Vision and Image Understanding, 159, 116-127. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cviu.2016.12.002

This paper addresses the problem of automatic detection and tracking of slalom paddlers through a long sequence of sports broadcast images comprised of persistent view changes. In this context, the task of visual object tracking is particularly chall...
