Combining PGMs and Discriminative Models for Upper Body Pose Detection
نویسنده
چکیده
In this project, I utilized probabilistic graphical models together with discriminative models such as SVM to perform upper body pose estimation. Figure 1 illustrates the definition of a problem in terms of input and output. Pose estimation is an important problem that has a wide array of applications such as pedestrian detection, sports video analysis, action recognition, etc. The entire human body can be seen as a graph where each body part is the node in the graph and two adjacent body parts are connected via an edge. Therefore, it is natural to utilize probabilistic graphical models to solve pose detection related problems. Additionally, the idea of incorporating discriminative models has been shown to be very successful as well, specifically in [1] [2]. Intuitively it makes sense that combination of generative and discriminative models should produce a model that is more powerful than each of these individually. Therefore, my hope is that combining these two techniques will produce solid results for this challenging problem.

Deep neural networks (DNNs) and probabilistic graphical models (PGMs) are the two main tools for statistical modeling. While DNNs provide the ability to model rich and complex relationships between input and output variables, PGMs provide the ability to encode dependencies among the output variables themselves.

متن کاملMultiple Tree Models for Occlusion and Spatial Constraints in Human Pose Estimation
Tree-structured models have been widely used for human pose estimation, in either 2D or 3D. While such models allow efficient learning and inference, they fail to capture additional dependencies between body parts, other than kinematic constraints between connected parts. In this paper, we consider the use of multiple tree models, rather than a single tree model for human pose estimation. Our m...

Maritime threat detection is a challenging problem because maritime environments can involve a complex combination of concurrent vessel activities, and only a small fraction of these may be irregular, suspicious, or threatening. Previous work on this task has been limited to analyses of single vessels using simple rule-based models that alert watchstanders when a proximity threshold is breached...

This chapter will survey approaches to person detection and pose estimation with the use of part-based models. After a brief introduction/motivation for the need for parts, the bulk of the chapter will be split into three core sections on Representation, Inference, and Learning. We begin by describing various gradientbased and color descriptors for parts. We will next focus on Representations f...
