Optimal Joint Selection for Skeletal Data from RGB-D Devices Using a Genetic Algorithm
نویسندگان
چکیده
The growth in interest in RGB-D devices (e.g. Microsoft Kinect or ASUS Xtion Pro) is based on their low price, as well as the wide range of possible applications. These devices can provide skeletal data consisting of 3D position, as well as orientation data, which can be further used for pose or action recognition. Data for 15 or 20 joints can be retrieved, depending on the libraries used. Recently, many datasets have been made available which allow the comparison of different action recognition approaches for diverse applications (e.g. gaming, AmbientAssisted Living, etc.). In this work, a genetic algorithm is used to determine the contribution of each of the skeleton’s joints to the accuracy of an action recognition algorithm, thus using or ignoring the data from each joint depending on its relevance. The proposed method has been validated using a k-means-based action recognition approach and using the MSR-Action3D dataset for test. Results show the presented algorithm is able to improve the recognition rates while reducing the feature size.

Evolutionary joint selection to improve human action recognition with RGB-D devices
Interest in RGB-D devices is increasing due to their low price and the wide range of possible applications that come along. These devices provide a marker-less body pose estimation by means of skeletal data consisting of 3D positions of body joints. These can be further used for pose, gesture or action recognition. In this work, an evolutionary algorithm is used to determine the optimal subset ...
متن کاملA Parallel Genetic Algorithm Based Method for Feature Subset Selection in Intrusion Detection Systems
Intrusion detection systems are designed to provide security in computer networks, so that if the attacker crosses other security devices, they can detect and prevent the attack process. One of the most essential challenges in designing these systems is the so called curse of dimensionality. Therefore, in order to obtain satisfactory performance in these systems we have to take advantage of app...

In human body movement simulation such as vertical jump by a forward dynamic model, optimal control theories must be used. In the recent years, new methods were created for solving optimization problems which they were adopted from animal behaviors and environment events such as Genetic algorithm, Particle swarm and Imperialism competitive. In this work, the skeletal model was constructed by Ne...
متن کاملAn optimization technique for vendor selection with quantity discounts using Genetic Algorithm
Vendor selection decisions are complicated by the fact that various conflicting multi-objective factors must be considered in the decision making process. The problem of vendor selection becomes still more compli-cated with the inclusion of incremental discount pricing schedule. Such hard combinatorial problems when solved using meta heuristics produce near optimal solutions. This paper propose...
