چکیده

A computer vision method is presented to determine the 3D spatial locations of joints or feature points of a human body from a film recording the human motion during walking. The proposed method first applies the geometric projection theory to obtain a set of feasible postures from a single image, then it makes use of the given dimensions of the human stick figure, physiological and motion-specific knowledge to constrain the feasible postures in both the single-frame analysis and the multi-frame analysis. Finally a unique gait interpretation is selected by an optimization algorithm. Computer simulations are used to illustrate the ideas presented.

Reduced-Reference Image Quality Assessment based on saliency region extraction

In this paper, a novel saliency theory based RR-IQA metric is introduced. As the human visual system is sensitive to the salient region, evaluating the image quality based on the salient region could increase the accuracy of the algorithm. In order to extract the salient regions, we use blob decomposition (BD) tool as a texture component descriptor. A new method for blob decomposition is propos...

A Human Perception Based Performance Evaluation of Image Quality Metrics

Though numerous image quality measures have been proposed, the search for a reliable IQM is still vigorously pursued by different research groups around the world. There is a need to compare the already proposed IQMs with respect to their adherence to human image quality perception. A model that can accurately simulate the human perception of image quality is a challenging task due to limited h...

Model-driven statistical analysis of human gait motion

We describe a new method for analyzing and extracting human gait motion by combining statistical methods with image processing. The periodic motion of human gait is modeled by trigonometric-polynomial interpolant functions. The gait description is derived by topological analysis guided by medical studies that select areas from which joint angles are derived by regression analysis. Then, the int...

خوانش چهار نگارۀ عصر قاجار براساس نظریۀ ادراک دیداری ارنست هانس جوزف گامبریچ (مورد مطالعاتی: فرهاد، اسب شیرین را بر دوش می‌کشد)

The perception and interpretation of artworks take place in an interactional process so that it is not possible to separate one from another. A scientist like “Ernest Gombrich” propose this issue to refute the visual perception theory. From this point of view, one should be able to recognize the oneness of the themes in representative works of art that have a similar theme, regardle...
