This paper proposes an annealed particle swarm optimization based particle filter algorithm for articulated 3D human body tracking. In our algorithm, a sampling covariance and an annealing factor are incorporated into the velocity updating equation of particle swarm optimization (PSO). The sampling covariance and the annealing factor are initiated with appropriate values at the beginning of the PSO...
This paper presents a method to recognize human actions from sequences of depth maps. Specifically, we employ an action graph to model explicitly the dynamics of the actions and a bag of 3D points to characterize a set of salient postures that correspond to the nodes in the action graph. In addition, we propose a simple, but effective projection based sampling scheme to sample the bag of 3D points...
We describe a method for using crowd-sourced labor to track motion and ultimately annotate gestures of humans in video. Our chosen platform for deployment, Amazon Mechanical Turk, divides labor into HITs (Human Intelligence Tasks). Given the informational density of video, our task is potentially larger than a traditional HIT that involves processing a block of text or a single image. We exploit redundancies...
This paper explores the idea of extracting three dimensional features from a previously recorded video, in an attempt to provide three dimensional information about a video clip in order to improve the performance of various video analysis tasks. Although video analysis is a very prevalent area of research, the use of 3D features is scarce in the literature due to the inherent difficulties associated...
