Although gait recognition has drawn increasing research attention recently, it remains challenging to learn discriminative temporal representation since the silhouette differences are quite subtle in spatial domain. Inspired by observation that humans can distinguish gaits of different subjects adaptively focusing on sequences with time scales, we propose a context-sensitive feature learning (CSTL) network this paper, which aggregates features three scales obtain motion according contextual...
Neuromorphic vision sensors or event cameras have made the visual perception of extremely low reaction time possible, opening new avenues for high-dynamic robotics applications. These cameras’ output is dependent on both motion and texture. However, camera fails to capture object edges that are parallel motion. This a problem intrinsic sensor therefore challenging solve algorithmically. Human deals with perceptual fading using active mechanism small involuntary eye movements, most prominent...
This paper presents a parallax-robust video stitching technique for timely synchronized surveillance video. An efficient two-stage procedure is proposed in this to build wide Field-of-View (FOV) videos applications. In the model calculation stage, we develop layered warping algorithm align background scenes, which location-dependent and turned out be more robust parallax than traditional global projective methods. On selective seam updating propose change-detection based optimal selection...
The development of aerial autonomy has enabled robots to fly agilely in complex environments. However, dodging fast-moving objects flight remains a challenge, limiting the further application unmanned vehicles (UAVs). bottleneck solving this problem is accurate perception rapid dynamic objects. Recently, event cameras have shown great potential problem. This paper presents complete system including ego-motion compensation, object detection, and trajectory prediction for with low latency high...
Gaze isan intuitive and direct way to represent the intentions of an individual. However, when it comes assistive aerial teleoperation which aims perform operators' intention, rare attention has been paid gaze. Existing methods obtain intention directly from remote controller (RC) input, is unfriendly non-professional operators, as experimental results show in <xref ref-type="sec" rid="sec6c" xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">Section...
Gait recognition is a promising long-distance biological technology that widely used in public security and video surveillance. In the most recent literature, researchers use fixed horizontal partitions on input images or intermediate features for feature extraction, which are neither adaptive to variations camera viewpoint individual appearances nor sufficient spatio-temporal fine-grained capturing. Besides, existing methods either ignore temporal modeling model...
Graph convolutional networks have been widely applied in skeleton-based gait recognition. A key challenge this task is to distinguish the individual walking styles of different subjects across various views. Existing state-of-the-art methods employ uniform convolutions extract features from diverse sequences and ignore effects viewpoint changes. To overcome these limitations, we propose a condition-adaptive graph (CAG) convolution network that can dynamically adapt specific attributes each...
The rapidly increasing capabilities of autonomous mobile robots promise to make them ubiquitous in the coming decade. These will continue enhance efficiency and safety novel applications such as disaster management, environmental monitoring, bridge inspection, agricultural inspection. To operate autonomously without constant human intervention, even remote or hazardous areas, must sense, process, interpret data using only onboard sensing computation. This capability is made possible by...

Person reidentification (re-id) has been widely studied because of its extensive use in video surveillance and forensics applications. It aims to search a specific person among nonoverlapping camera network, which is highly challenging due large variations the cluttered background, human pose, viewpoint. We present metric learning algorithm for Mahalanobis distance re-id. Generally speaking, there exist two forces conventional process, one pulling force that pulls points same class closer...

One of the core activities an active observer involves moving to secure a "better" view scene, where definition is task-dependent. This paper focuses on task human pose estimation from videos capturing person's activity. Self-occlusions within scene can complicate or even prevent accurate estimation. To address this, relocating camera new vantage point necessary clarify view, thereby improving 2D formalizes process achieving improved viewpoint. Our proposed solution this challenge comprises...

To develop planners that are complete and optimal for PAMO, planner has search giant state space involving both location of as well locations objects, grows exponentially with respect number objects. The main idea in this is that, only small fraction...
Margin-based metric losses have shown great success in Person Re-identification and Face Verification. But most existing works adopt a fixed class-level margin regardless of the difference between each training sample. This paper proposes Norm-Aware Margin Assignment (NAMA) scheme to dynamically adjust weight sample during training. Combined with margin-based classification losses, NAMA improves robustness feature embedding by assigning larger margins more recognizable samples. is fully...
