title: Automated human avatar synthesis for obesity control using low-cost depth cameras.
abstract: In this paper a framework is presented for monitoring shape changes on the human body with applications to obesity control. This framework uses a low-cost infrared depth camera in order to capture the 3D shape of the human body and approximate it as a set of spherical functions.
