Articulated Motion and Deformable Objects: 8th International Conference, AMDO 2014, Palma de Mallorca, Spain, July 16-18, 2014, Proceedings (Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 8563)

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Articulated Motion and Deformable Objects, AMDO 2014, held in Palma de Mallorca, Spain, in July 2014. The 18 papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 37 submissions. The conference dealt with the following topics: geometric and physical deformable models; motion analysis; articulated models and animation; modeling and visualization of deformable models; deformable model applications; motion analysis applications; single or multiple human motion analysis and synthesis; face modeling, tracking, recovering and recognition models; virtual and augmented reality; haptics devices; biometric techniques.
