Human mobility has been studied extensively in various biomedical contexts with applications in clinical rehabilitation, disease diagnosis, health risk prognosis, and general performance assessments. In this paper, we present ATOMHP (Analytical Technologies to Objectively Measure Human Performance) Kinect: a system to objectively quantify human performance using the Microsoft Kinect as a single camera...
Advanced statistics have proved to be a crucial tool for basketball coaches in order to improve training skills. Indeed, the performance of the team can be further optimized by studying the behaviour of players under certain conditions. In the United States of America, companies such as STATS or Second Spectrum use a complex multi-camera setup to deliver advanced statistics to all NBA teams, but the...
Viewpoint variation is a major challenge in video- based human action recognition. We exploit the simultaneous RGB and Depth sensing of RGB-D cameras to address this problem. Our technique capitalizes on the complementary spatio-temporal information in RGB and Depth frames of the RGB-D videos to achieve viewpoint invariant action recognition. We extract view invariant features from the dense trajectories...
Motion vectors extracted from a compressed video file can be used to track objects in the video and it could be efficient as motion vectors provide trajectory information of the objects. However, tracking objects represented by the motion vectors can be inaccuracy because of camera movement, small size sets of motion vectors acting as noise, unmoving of the object and occlusion. These are conditions...
Future of food innovation lies in the art and science of designing an interactive connected intelligent device that can detect how we feel and display the content suitable for individual consumers. We designed a smart dining table and chairs that can detect, sense, and analyze consumer's satisfaction, and interact with consumers. A team of furniture designer, software engineers, mechanical engineer,...
The paper introduces the research of tube-type bottle defects detection algorithm based on machine vision system, and the implementation method of detection system using machine vision and digital image processing technology. Industrial camera is used to collect the image of tube-type bottle, then the image is processed and analyzed by image processing technology. On this basis, by comparing with...
Wireless cameras can be used to gather situation awareness information (e.g., humans in distress) in disaster recovery scenarios. However, blindly sending raw video streams from such cameras, to an operations center or controller can be prohibitive in terms of bandwidth. Further, these raw streams could contain either redundant or irrelevant information. Thus, we ask "how do we extract accurate...
The aversion of gaze during dyadic conversations is a social signal that contains information relevant to the detection of interest, turn-taking cues, and conversational engagement. The understanding and modeling of such behavior has implications for the design of embodied conversational agents, as well as computational approaches to conversational analysis. Recent approaches to extracting gaze directions...
The lane marking detection task is an essential process in the field of semi-autonomous and autonomous navigation. This paper proposes a method that combines the color and edge information to robustly detect the lane marking within the image either located far on near to the vehicle. Firstly, the region of interest is extracted from the image. Secondly, the set of lane marking features are extracted...
In this paper, the information acquisition problem of columnar moving obstacles is investigated for a quadrotor equipped with a stereo vision system flying in an indoor GPS-denied environment. A acquisition algorithm based on stereo vision is proposed to obtain the position and velocity direction. The spatial position relation between the quadrotor and the object detected is used to remove the interferences...
Today, we witness the appearance of many lifelogging cameras that are able to capture the life of a person wearing the camera, which produce a large number of images everyday. Automatically characterizing the experience and extracting patterns of behavior of individuals from this huge collection of unlabeled and unstructured egocentric data present major challenges and require novel and efficient...
Traffic data collection and analysis is essential for designing roundabouts and improving safety at roundabouts. One of the main interested traffic data for roundabouts is often gap size. However, manual collection of gaps size by human operators is extremely laborious. In this work, we developed a system/tool to allow data mining of the recorded videos for automated extraction of gap size. The developed...
Hemoglobin (HB) is an important protein molecule in blood. Traditionally, hemoglobin level measurement is accomplished through invasive way [1] in clinics. But, non-invasive techniques are becoming more popular nowadays, though its accuracy is not up to the mark. The conventional invasive approaches need the blood sample from the patient which is quite inappropriate always for premature infants, aging...
Studying marine plankton is critical to assessing the health of the world's oceans. To sample these important populations, oceanographers are increasingly using specially engineered in situ digital imaging systems that produce very large data sets. Most automated annotation efforts have considered data from individual systems in isolation. This is predicated on the assumption that the images from...
The development of high quality video surveillance systems provides the ability to perform measurements from image data. This paper describes and demonstrates the extraction of basic human biometric features from surveillance video camera data using an uncalibrated single-view surveillance camera system. Perspective-based photogrammetric techniques are applied in situations where only minimal real...
A general approach is proposed to determine the occupancy in a room using sensor data and knowledge coming respectively from observation and questioning are determined. Means to estimate occupancy include motion detections, power consumption and and acoustic pressure rewarded by a micro-phone. The proposed approach is inspired from machine learning. It starts by determining the most useful measurements...
Exchange of image information is one of the main features of a camera network. In order to exchange a large amount of information, a platform with good communication speed is needed. In this study, we designed and implemented a specialized camera network platform using Wi-Fi Direct devices. This platform can provide various services to other devices within the same network. We designed the platform...
Minimization of discrete energy functions considering higher-order potentials is a challenging yet an important problem. In this work, a three-step procedure will be presented and exemplified on a general problem related to the dense depth map computation from multi-view configurations: Achieving a joint reconstruction of structure and semantics with piecewise planarity constraints. The three steps...
Product review websites provide an incredible lens into the wide variety of opinions and experiences of different people, and play a critical role in helping users discover products that match their personal needs and preferences. To help address questions that can't easily be answered by reading others' reviews, some review websites also allow users to pose questions to the community via a question-answering...
The precondition of productive data mining is having an efficient database to work on. The BioVid Emo DB is a multimodal database recorded for the purpose of analyzing human affective states and data mining related to emotion. Psychophysiological signals such as Skin Conductance Level, Electrocardiogram, Trapezius Electromyogram and also 4 video signals were recorded. 5 discrete emotions (amusement,...
