Thesis organisation

The remainder of the thesis is organised as follows:

• chapter 2 reviews the related work on behaviour modelling.
• chapter 3 describes the active appearance model and the tracking module.
• chapter 4 describes the data acquired to assess the model.
• chapter 5 describes how to transform a trajectory into a sequence of pathlet models and provides a visual comparison of the two methods used to find those sequences.
• chapter 6 describes the variable length Markov model and gives results on the quality of its prediction capabilities.
• chapter 7 describes how to synthesise new video sequences of behaviour with our model.
• chapter 8 describes an alternative model and a measure of comparison between behaviour models; it provides some quantitative results as well as qualitative results based on a psychophysical experiment.
• chapter 9 concludes.
