Abstract of the seminar:

Experienced security analysts often profile individuals in the scene to determine their threat. An expert can identify individuals who look as though they may cause trouble before any anti-social behaviour has occurred. Therefore, a key to automatic threat assessment is to be able to automatically profile people in the scene based on their gender and age. In this talk, I am going to introduce the challenges and promising solutions in my recent studies of age and gender classification. Afterwards, I will summarise the recent research progress in human behaviour analysis. In particular, I will talk about (1) The techniques that I helped to develop in order to automatically extract and select features from face images for robust age recognition, (2) An effective combination of facial and full body measurements for gender classification, and (3) Human tracking and trajectory clustering approaches to handle challenging circumstances such as occlusions and pose variations.
