The MUCATAR project is aimed at designing principled methods (models and algorthms) for the
simultaneous tracking of people and recognition of their activity using multiple cameras as input, in
a probabilistic framework (Sequential Monte Carlo methods and graphical models).  Specific issues
addressed inlcude:

1.  the development of novel data fusion mechanisms to improve tracking;

2.  the development of mixed-state models (which combine continuous motion parameters and
     discrete labels in a joint distribution) for tracking and recognition;

3.  the development of new sampling methods for improving tracking efficiency and performance;

4.  data collection and development of performance evaluation procedures.
