Learning probabilistic deformation models from image sequences

چکیده

In this paper, we present an approach for an unsupervised learning of probabilistic deformation modes of 2D moving objects from image sequences. The object representation relies on a statistical description of global and local deformations applied to an a priori prototype shape. The optimal bayesian estimate of the deformation process is obtained by maximizing a nonlinear joint probability distribution using stochastic and deterministic optimization techniques. The estimates obtained at time are integrated in the deformation model as a priori knowledge for the segmentation at time . Deformation modes are updated on-line using a Principal Component Analysis of the distorsions computed from the shapes estimated previously in the image sequence. In addition, the updated deformation modes are exploited for the segmentation of new shapes in the current image sequence. The approach yields a robust learning and is demonstrated on real-world image sequences showing the tracking of hands undergoing 2D articulated movements.

Learning Image Statistics for Bayesian Tracking

This paper describes a framework for learning probabilistic models of objects and scenes and for exploiting these models for tracking complex, deformable, or articulated objects in image sequences. We focus on the probabilistic tracking of people and learn models of how they appear and move in images. In particular, we learn the likelihood of observing various spatial and temporal filter respon...

A Probabilistic Model of Learning Fields in Islamic Economics and Finance

In this paper an epistemological model of learning fields of probabilistic events is formalized. It is used to explain resource allocation governed by pervasive complementarities as the sign of unity of knowledge. Such an episteme is induced epistemologically into interacting, integrating and evolutionary variables representing the problem at hand. The end result is the formalization of a p...

Learning Probabilistic Structure for Human Motion Detection

Decomposable triangulated graphs have been shown to be efficient and effective for modeling the probabilistic spatio-temporal structure of brief stretches of human motion. In previous work such model structure was handcrafted by expert human observers and labeled data were needed for parameter learning. We present a method to build automatically the structure of the decomposable triangulated gr...
