This project is exploring the integration of video and multiscale visualization facilities with computer vision techniques to create a flexible open framework to advance analysis of time-based records of human activity. The goals are to (1) accelerate analysis by employing vision-based pattern recognition capabilities to pre-segment and tag data records, (2) increase analysis power by visualizing multimodal activity and macro-micro relationships, and coordinating analysis and annotation across multiple scales, and (3) facilitate shared use of the developing framework with collaborators. Researchers from many disciplines are taking advantage of increasingly inexpensive digital video and storage facilities to assemble extensive data collections of human activity captured in real-world settings. The ability to record and share such data has created a critical moment in the practice and scope of behavioral research. The main obstacles to fully capitalizing on this scientific opportunity are the huge time investment required for analysis using current methods and understanding how to coordinate analyses focused at different scales so as to profit fully from the theoretical perspectives of multiple disciplines. Thus, any research using video or other time-based records in order to document or better understand human activity is a potential beneficiary of this research, and the long range objective is to better understand the dynamics of human activity as a scientific foundation for design.

该项目正在探索视频和多尺度可视化设施与计算机视觉技术的集成，以创建灵活的开放式框架，以推动对基于时间的人类活动记录进行分析。目标是（1）通过采用基于视觉的模式识别能力来加速分析，以预先分段和标签数据记录，（2）通过可视化多模式活动和宏观 - 微米关系，以及在多个尺度上协调分析和注释来提高分析能力，以及（3）促进与合作者共同使用的共同使用。来自许多学科的研究人员正在利用越来越便宜的数字视频和存储设施来组装在现实世界中捕获的人类活动的广泛数据收集。记录和共享此类数据的能力在行为研究的实践和范围中创造了关键时刻。充分利用这一科学机会的主要障碍是使用当前方法进行分析所需的大量时间投资，并了解如何协调集中在不同尺度上的分析，以便从多个学科的理论角度完全利益。因此，任何使用视频或其他基于时间的记录来记录或更好地理解人类活动的研究都是本研究的潜在受益者，远距离目标是更好地理解人类活动的动态作为设计的科学基础。
