HABE Hitoshi: Professor Doctor of Informatics; Graduate school/Electronic Engineering

We study techniques to process images captured by a camera and understand the things in the image and what is happening. We are working on analyzing human behavior from security cameras and the movement of animals in the wild, and we are tackling the development of fundamental technologies for computer vision.

Detection and tracking of walking people and animals from videos
