Research and work activities of

Thomas Baltzer Moeslund


I got my Master's Degree in Electrical Engineering with a specialization in computer vision from Aalborg University in 1996. During my study I spend time in computer vision lab's in University of Reading (England), University of Tennessee, Knoxville (USA) and University of California, San Diego (USA). For my master thesis I worked within the area of gesture recognition. More specific, I worked with recognition of gestures from the hand alphabet.

After graduating I started working as a research assistant on a multi media project at Aalborg University. The project was concerned with integrating speech and vision into an intelligent user interface. My main concerns in the project were the vision part (pointing recognition) and the development of two drivers; one for a controllable EVI-D31 SONY tracking camera and one for a movable laser. I worked on the project for 1 1/2 year until I started on my Ph.D. 1/4-98. In the spring and summer of 2001 I worked part time as a development engineer in a company, Thoustrup and Overgaard, where my main work concerned 3D computer vision. The 1st of September '01 I was employed as an assistant professor at the Laboratory of Computer Vision and Media Technology (CVMT) where my job, besides teaching, is to work on an augmented reality project named Arthur. The 12th of June I received my PhD-degree from Aalborg University. The 15th of July I was employed as an associate professor at CVMT and will be working for the next 2-3 years on a project called MoPrim, which has to do with finding motion primitives of the human upper body.

My research interests include:
Computer vision, human motion capture, gesture recognition, tracking, pose estimation, model-based vision, multiple-hypothesis methods, augmented reality, HCI, computer graphics animations, and multi-modal systems.
