چکیده

Recognizing structure of human body is important for modeling human motion. Human body is usually represented as an articulate model, which consists of the rigid parts and the joint points between them. The structure of the human body is specified by the joint points. In this paper we propose a novel method for estimating the location of joint points from successive volume data. Our joint point estimation method consists of three steps. In the first step, rigid parts are extracted from two successive volume data under the constraint of the rigid transformation. In the second step, the joint points are estimated based on the rigid parts. As the last step, false joint points are eliminated by using more successive data. Applying the method to the simulated data, the locations of joint points of the human are correctly estimated.

Joint Bayesian Stochastic Inversion of Well Logs and Seismic Data for Volumetric Uncertainty Analysis

Here in, an application of a new seismic inversion algorithm in one of Iran’s oilfields is described. Stochastic (geostatistical) seismic inversion, as a complementary method to deterministic inversion, is perceived as contribution combination of geostatistics and seismic inversion algorithm. This method integrates information from different data sources with different scales, as prior informat...

Camera Pose Estimation in Unknown Environments using a Sequence of Wide-Baseline Monocular Images

In this paper, a feature-based technique for the camera pose estimation in a sequence of wide-baseline images has been proposed. Camera pose estimation is an important issue in many computer vision and robotics applications, such as, augmented reality and visual SLAM. The proposed method can track captured images taken by hand-held camera in room-sized workspaces with maximum scene depth of 3-4...
