Prediction of Pitch and Yaw Head Movements via Recurrent Neural Networks

چکیده
In Virtual-Environment (VE) Applications, where virtual objects are presented in a head-mounted display, virtual images must be continuously stabilized in space against the user’s head motion. Latencies in head-motion compensation cause virtual objects to swim around instead of being stable in space. This results in an unnatural feel, disorientation, and simulation sickness in addition to errors in fitting/matching of virtual and real objects. Visual update delays are a critical technical obstacle for implementation of head-mounted displays in a wide variety of applications. To address this problem, we propose to use machine learning techniques to define a forward model of head movement based on angular velocity information. In particular, we utilize recurrent neural network to capture the temporal pattern of pitch and yaw motion. Our results demonstrate an ability to predict head motion up to 40 ms. ahead thus eliminating the main source of latencies. The accuracy of the system is tested for conditions akin to those encountered in virtual environments. These results demonstrate successful generalization by the learning system.

متن کاملInstantaneous rotation axes during active head movements.
Rotation axes were calculated during active head movements using a motion analysis system. The mean rotation axis for 1 Hz head pitch when seated was posterior (6 mm) and inferior (21 mm) to the interaural axis, shifting 16 mm downwards when standing. During seated 2 Hz head pitch the rotation axis was close to the interaural axis, shifting downwards 15 mm when standing. This downward shift sug...
متن کاملAutomatic Measurement of Head and Facial Movement for Analysis and Detection of Infants’ Positive and Negative Affect
Previous work in automatic affect analysis (AAA) has emphasized static expressions to the neglect of the dynamics of facial movement and considered head movement only a nuisance variable to control. We investigated whether the dynamics of head and facial movements apart from specific facial expressions communicate affect in infants, an under-studied population in AAA. Age-appropriate tasks were...
