Estimation of Skill Levels in Sports Based on Hierarchical Spatio-Temporal Correspondences

چکیده
We present a learning-based method for the estimation of skill levels from sequences of complex movements in sports. Our method is based on a hierarchical algorithm for computing spatio-temporal correspondence between sequences of complex body movements. The algorithm establishes correspondence at two levels: whole action sequences and individual movement elements. Using Spatio-Temporal Morphable Models we represent individual movement elements by linear combinations of learned example patterns. The coefficients of these linear combinations define features that can be efficiently exploited for estimating continuous style parameters of human movements. We demonstrate by comparison with expert ratings that our method efficiently estimates the skill level from the individual techniques in a ”karate kata”.

Context-aware Modeling for Spatio-temporal Data Transmitted from a Wireless Body Sensor Network
Context-aware systems must be interoperable and work across different platforms at any time and in any place. Context data collected from wireless body area networks (WBAN) may be heterogeneous and imperfect, which makes their design and implementation difficult. In this research, we introduce a model which takes the dynamic nature of a context-aware system into consideration. This model is con...

In this paper, a Bayesian hierarchical model is used to anaylze the female breast cancer mortality rates for the State of Missouri from 1969 through 2001. The logit transformations of the mortality rates are assumed to be linear over the time with additive spatial and age effects as intercepts and slopes. Objective priors of the hierarchical model are explored. The Bayesian estimates are quite ...

متن کاملClosed-form connectivity-preserving solutions for motion compensation using 2-D meshes
Motion compensation using two-dimensional (2-D) mesh models requires computation of the parameters of a spatial transformation for each mesh element (patch). It is well known that the parameters of an affine (bilinear or perspective) mapping can be uniquely estimated from three (four) point correspondences (at the vertices of a triangular or quadrilateral mesh element). On the other hand, overd...
