Multi-modal Human Modeling, Analysis and Synthesis aims to adopt a structured perspective, building a comprehensive technical framework for multi-modal human modeling, analysis, and synthesis-progressing from local details to holistic perspectives, and from face features to body dynamics.
In today's world, where intelligent technologies are deeply transforming human-computer interaction and virtual reality, multi-modal human modeling, analysis, and synthesis have become central topics in computer vision. As application scenarios grow increasingly complex, new technologies continue to emerge to address these challenges. These techniques demand systematic summarization and practical guidance. To meet this need, Multi-modal Human Modeling, Analysis and Synthesis aims to adopt a structured perspective, building a comprehensive technical framework for multi-modal human modeling, analysis, and synthesis—progressing from local details to holistic perspectives, and from face features to body dynamics.The book begins by examining the anatomy structures and characteristics of human faces and bodies, then analyzes how traditional methods and deep learning approaches provide robust optimization solutions for modeling. For example, it explores how to address challenges in face recognition caused by lighting changes, occlusions, face expressions, and aging, as well as methods for body localization, reconstruction, recognition, and anomaly detection in multi-modal scenarios. It also explains how multi-modal data can drive realistic face and body synthesis. A standout feature is its focus on Huawei's MindSpore framework, bridging the gap between algorithms and engineering through practical case studies. From building face detection and recognition pipelines with the MindSpore toolkit to accelerating model training via automatic parallel computing, and solving large language model (LLM) training challenges, each step is supported by reproducible code and design logic.Designed for researchers and engineers in computer vision and AI, this book balances theoretical foundations with industry-ready technical details. Whether you aim to enhance the reliability of biometric recognition, explore creative possibilities in virtual-real interactions, or optimize the deployment of deep learning frameworks, this guide serves as an essential link between academic advancements and real-world applications.

2 Items & over @ £5.00 in total
Another Really Important Bit: There are a number of Postcodes in the UK for which we will need to charge a shipping supplement, this will be calculated once we know the size and weight of the shipment. For these orders we will contact customers to agree a suitable and economic method of shipping. There may also be additional time required for delivery to some areas of the United Kingdom. Where possible, we will ship book orders (under 2kg) by Royal Mail to all UK postcodes. Large multiple book orders and books over 2kg are often shipped via APC Overnight or similar, regardless of Postcode.
