چکیده
In this paper, we propose a new definition of curvature, called visual curvature. It is based on statistics of the extreme points of the height functions computed over all directions. By gradually ignoring relatively small heights, a single parameter multi-scale curvature is obtained. It does not modify the original contour and the scale parameter has an obvious geometric meaning. The theoretical properties and the experiments presented demonstrate that multi-scale visual curvature is stable, even in the presence of significant noise. In particular, it can deal with contours with significant gaps. We also show a relation between multi-scale visual curvature and convexity of simple closed curves. To our best knowledge, the proposed definition of visual curvature is the first ever that applies to regular curves as defined in differential geometry as well as to turn angles of polygonal curves. Moreover, it yields stable curvature estimates of curves in digital images even under sever distortions.

Bilinear Heterogeneous Information Machine for RGB-D Action Recognition Report Title This paper proposes a novel approach to action recognition from RGB-D cameras, in which depth features and RGB visual features are jointly used. Rich heterogeneous RGB and depth data are effectively compressed and projected to a learned shared space, in order to reduce noise and capture useful information for r...
