This paper presents a method which allows robots to infer a human's hierarchical intent from partially observed RGBD videos by imagining how the human will behave in the future. This capability is critical for creating robots which can interact socially or collaboratively with humans. We represent intent as a novel hierarchical, compositional, and probabilistic And-Or graph structure which describes...
We study the problem of automatically learning event AND-OR grammar from videos of a certain environment, e.g. an office where students conduct daily activities. We propose to learn the event grammar under the information projection and minimum description length principles in a coherent probabilistic framework, without manual supervision about what events happen and when they happen. Firstly a predefined...
One of the key challenges to human parsing and pose recovery is handling the variability in geometry and appearance of humans in natural scenes. This variability is due to the large number of distinct articulated configurations, clothing, and self-occlusion, as well as unknown lighting and viewpoint. In this paper, we present a stochastic grammar model that represents the body as an articulated assembly...
This paper presents a simple attribute graph grammar as a generative representation for made-made scenes, such as buildings, hallways, kitchens, and living rooms, and studies an effective top-down/bottom-up inference algorithm for parsing images in the process of maximizing a Bayesian posterior probability or equivalently minimizing a description length (MDL). Given an input image, the inference algorithm...
In this paper we propose a framework that performs automatic semantic annotation of visual events (SAVE). This is an enabling technology for content-based video annotation, query and retrieval with applications in Internet video search and video data mining. The method involves identifying objects in the scene, describing their inter-relations, detecting events of interest, and representing them semantically...
