Automatic Temporal Segmentation of Articulated Hand Motion

چکیده
This paper introduces a novel and efficient segmentation method designed for articulated hand motion. The method is based on a graph representation of temporal structures in human hand-object interaction. Along with the method for temporal segmentation we provide an extensive new database of hand motions. The experiments performed on this dataset show that our method is capable of a fully automatic hand motion segmentation which largely coincides with human user annotations.

Articulated Billboards for Video-based Rendering
We present a novel representation and rendering method for free-viewpoint video of human characters based on multiple input video streams. The basic idea is to approximate the articulated 3D shape of the human body using a subdivision into textured billboards along the skeleton structure. Billboards are clustered to fans such that each skeleton bone contains one billboard per source camera. We ...
متن کاملArticulated Video Object Extraction by the Combination of Spatial and Temporal Segmentation
Generally moving object extraction schemes rely on either optical flow or frame difference. Though optical flow based methods can deal with moving camera situation with ease, the inconsistency at object boundaries causes extraction with inaccurate object boundaries. While frame difference approach, such as three frame difference, yields accurate object boundaries, it usually cannot deal with mo...
متن کاملRegistration-based segmentation with articulated model from multipostural magnetic resonance images for hand bone motion animation.
PURPOSE The quantitative measurements of hand bones, including volume, surface, orientation, and position are essential in investigating hand kinematics. Moreover, within the measurement stage, bone segmentation is the most important step due to its certain influences on measuring accuracy. Since hand bones are small and tubular in shape, magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is prone to artifacts su...
متن کاملHierarchical Aligned Cluster Analysis (HACA) for Temporal Segmentation of Human Motion
Temporal segmentation of human motion into plausible motion primitives is central to the understanding and building computational models of human motion. Several issues contribute to the challenge of temporal segmentation of human motion. These include the large variability in the temporal scale and periodicity of human actions, the complexity of representing articulated motion, and the exponen...
متن کاملColor Reduction in Hand-drawn Persian Carpet Cartoons before Discretization using image segmentation and finding edgy regions
In this paper, we present a method for color reduction of Persian carpet cartoons that increases both speed and accuracy of editing. Carpet cartoons are in two categories: machine-printed and hand-drawn. Hand-drawn cartoons are divided into two groups: before and after discretization. The purpose of this study is color reduction of hand-drawn cartoons before discretization. The proposed algorit...
