Descripció de la tesi
Human face-to-face interactions are governed by direct and indirect communication channels. Direct channels are related to the conscious level of the speaker, while indirect channels are usually recognized subliminally by the receiver (i.e. kinesics or body language). The research in this master thesis is framed in the analysis of this second channel of communication. In particular, it is focussed in modeling the gestures and actions in video sequences with the purpose of understanding social signals and body language.
