Appears in collection : Mathematics and mouvement in sport - 13/03/2018

Video based acquisition systems allow to fully perceive, in space and over time, shapes that move. The resulting 4D models, also called holograms, are of interest in a wide range of applications, from human motion analysis to virtual reality. In this talk I will give an overview of the field, both from a historical viewpoint and in terms of the current research challenges.

Around the Mathematical Week "Mathematics and movement", half a day is dedicated to mathematical issues related to movements in sports. It will take place on Tuesday, March 13th from 9am to 12pm at Institut Henri Poincaré, Paris. This event will bring together researchers and industries to discuss the challenges of tomorrow.
