Topological Methods for Motion Data Analysis

چکیده
We present a new method for analyzing imagebased motion data with topological methods for flow fields. A video sensor captures motion of subjects and yields discrete samples of velocity vectors in the image domain. We show how to construct a smooth, continuous, globally defined bidirectional flow field which evaluates determined vectors at given samples. We then apply a topological analysis of this continuous flow field which yields a segmentation into regions of similar flow behavior, i.e., regions of similar motion.

Introduction: Graph theoretical analysis of functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) data has provided new measures of mapping human brain in vivo. Of all methods to measure the functional connectivity between regions, Linear Correlation (LC) calculation of activity time series of the brain regions as a linear measure is considered the most ubiquitous one. The strength of the dependence obl...
متن کاملAsymptotically Optimal Sampling-Based Algorithms for Topological Motion Planning
Topological motion planning is a planning problem embedding topological concept of trajectories. In this work, we propose two asymptotically optimal sampling-based algorithms for topological motion planning: (a) a batch processingbased planner, termed Fast Marching Homology-embedded Tree star (FMHT*); and (b) an incremental anytime algorithm, termed Rapidly-exploring Random Homology-embedded Tr...
متن کاملRobust Topological Feature Extraction for Mapping of Environments using Bio-Inspired Sensor Networks
In this paper, we exploit minimal sensing information gathered from biologically inspired sensor networks to perform exploration and mapping in an unknown environment. A probabilistic motion model of mobile sensing nodes, inspired by motion characteristics of cockroaches, is utilized to extract weak encounter information in order to build a topological representation of the environment. Neighbo...
متن کاملModel-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...
متن کاملCollision Free Motion Planning on Graphs
A topological theory initiated in [4], [5] uses methods of algebraic topology to estimate numerically the character of instabilities arising in motion planning algorithms. The present paper studies random motion planning algorithms and reveals how the topology of the robot’s configuration space influences their structure. We prove that the topological complexity of motion planning TC(X) coincid...
