Temporal Integration of Multiple Silhouette-Based Body-Part Hypotheses
نویسندگان
چکیده
A method for temporally integrating appearance-based body-part labelling is presented. We begin by modifying the silhouette labelling method of Ghost[4]; that system first determines which posture best describes the person currently and then uses posture-specific heuristics to generate labels for head, hands, and feet. Our approach is to assign a posture probability and then estimate body part locations for all possible postures. Next we temporally integrate these estimates by finding a best path through the posture-time lattice. A density-sampling propagation approach is used that allows us to model the multiple hypotheses resulting from consideration of different postures. We show quantitative and qualitative results where the temporal integration solution improves the instantaneous estimates. This method can be applied to any system that inherently has multiple methods of asserting instantaneous properties but from which a temporally coherent interpretation is desired.

Virtual Visual Hulls: Example-Based 3D Shape Estimation from a Single Silhouette
Recovering a volumetric model of a person, car, or other object of interest from a single snapshot would be useful for many computer graphics applications. 3D model estimation in general is hard, and currently requires active sensors, multiple views, or integration over time. For a known object class, however, 3D shape can be successfully inferred from a single snapshot. We present a method for...
متن کاملHuman Action Recognition Based on 3D Edge Oriented Gradient Histogram of Slide Blocks
In this paper, a new feature called 3D edge oriented gradient histogram of slide blocks is proposed for human action recognition, based on the idea that the slide area of human body edge can be seen as a spatio-temporal silhouette surface when human performing a certain action in video. This feature is processed by defining dense 3D spatio-temporal slide blocks on the spatio-temporal silhouette...
متن کاملRobust Visual Person Tracking for Interactive Displays
We present an approach to real-time person tracking in crowded and/or unknown environments using integration of multiple visual modalities. We combine stereo, color, and face detection modules into a single robust system, and show an initial application in an interactive, faceresponsive display. Dense, real-time stereo processing is used to isolate users from other objects and people in the bac...
متن کاملContext-aware Modeling for Spatio-temporal Data Transmitted from a Wireless Body Sensor Network
Context-aware systems must be interoperable and work across different platforms at any time and in any place. Context data collected from wireless body area networks (WBAN) may be heterogeneous and imperfect, which makes their design and implementation difficult. In this research, we introduce a model which takes the dynamic nature of a context-aware system into consideration. This model is con...
متن کاملHuman Body Pose Estimation Using Silhouette Shape Analysis
We describe a system for human body pose estimation from multiple views that is fast and not dependent on a rigid 3D model. We make use of recent work in decomposition of a silhouette into 2D parts. These 2D part primitives are matched across views to build assemblies in 3D. In order to search for the best assembly, we use a likelihood function that integrates information available from multipl...
