The objective of this project is to capture physical properties of real world phenomenon by analyzing photographs and video. The problem of capturing motion of objects has emerged as a major research area in the fields of computer vision and computer graphics with a wide range of possible applications. This project will attempt to devise new computer vision techniques for capturing and modeling the dynamics and physical characteristics of a number of differing objects in different contexts. If successful, the new techniques will enable more accurate 3D motion estimation from a single video stream and other limited sensor data. Finally, the project will explore potentially valuable application areas for these research products.
