The inferential approach, in contrast with classic model of coding-decoding, regards communication something more than the mere decoding of the received message, and points to the inference as a pivotal element for the discovery of the intentional meaning in a communication. This line of research was beginned with the works of Paul Grice in the literature of the pragmatics. His theory proposes its cooperation principle and conversational maxims for that aim.Relevance theory, while accepting the pivotal role of the inference, replaces cognitive principle of relevance with those Gricean rules. Hence, it proposes a more comprehensive explanation of communication, with more simplicity and... 

In this thesis, 3D pose reconstruction of one or multiple humans in multi-view dynamic scene is considered. Inputs are multi-view frames of multi-view camera systems. Outputs are the 3D reconstructed human poses in 3D space. The pose is the location of 14 human body joints in the 3D space. In this research, it is not allowed to use Kinect sensor data or other Markers or GPS sensors. It is supposed that only multi-view images are used. 3D reconstruction of human body pose can be performed with different assumptions. For example, the scene is indoor only or the camera calibration information is provided at first.Cameras are moving or fixed. In this research, each of this assumption is regarded...
