Synopsis

The emerging information technologies have given rise to new human patterns in terms of both physiological and psychological interactions. Human Algorithms aim to model human forms, interactions, and dynamics in this new context. They are becoming increasingly comprehensive and inexpensive for use in real-world designs: inside monitors, connected to networks, and under human skin. This book aims to reflect the state of the art of Digital Human Modeling, specifically emergent Human Algorithms. It constitutes a survey of innovative ideas aimed at a wide range of readers, including college students, researchers, engineers, designers, scientists, managers, and healthcare professionals. The 11 chapters are divided into three parts: Human Dynamics, Virtual Humans and Human Forms.

About this title

Review:

From the reviews:

"This volume features 11 selected papers from a digital humans workshop, with an emphasis on computer science (CS) ... . The volume represents a snapshot of the prevailing research ideas on the interfaces between imaging and computer modeling. As such, it can be useful to researchers." (L-F. Pau, ACM Computing Reviews, June, 2009)
