IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications Emerging Technologies — CD-ROM Supplement
January-February 2004
Thermo-Key Kazutaka Yasuda, Takeshi Naemura, and Hiroshi Harashima University of Tokyo
Abstract The Thermo-Key real-time system segments human regions from video sequences using thermal information. This approach is robust and easy to use in comparison with chroma-key systems. The movie contains an overview of the system and its future applications. Kazutaka Yasuda is a graduate student in the Department of Information and Communication Engineering at the University of Tokyo. His research interests include human region segmentation from video sequence and its application systems (communication, presentation and broadcast). Yasuda has a BE in information and communication engineering from the University of Tokyo. Contact him at

His research interests include image-based rendering, mixed reality, and augmented spatial communications. Naemura has a BE, ME, and PhD in electronic engineering from the University of Tokyo. He is a member of IEEE. Hiroshi Harashima is a professor in the Interfaculty Initiative in Information Studies at the University of Tokyo. His research interests include communication theory, image coding and processing, and human communication engineering. He has a BE, ME, and PhD in electrical engineering from the University of Tokyo. He is the president of the Virtual Reality Society of Japan and an IEEE member.
