Check out our video analysis on Senator Obama, Senator McCain, and President Bush. For instance Obama has a lot of movement in the Horizontal (side-to-side) and McCain uses the Vertical dimension (up-down). As you can see, Bush has a mixture and it takes the computer a while to decide who it is.

We just completed a new movement signature detector cluster experiment. This time we collected videos from all over the world and compared their movement signature to each other and to US politicians. Check out who is clustering with whom at our new video.
We also experimented with automatic clustering techniques and measured the recognition performance over a database of many hours of videos. Check out the results of these experiments here.
