Ground object recognition and segmentation from aerial image‐based 3D point cloud

Several attempts have been made to grasp three‐dimensional (3D) ground shape from a 3D point cloud generated by aerial vehicles, which help fast situation recognition. However, identifying such objects on the ground from a 3D point cloud, which consists of 3D coordinates and color information, is not straightforward due to the gap between the low‐level point information (coordinates and colors) and high‐level context information (objects). In this paper, we propose a ground object recognition and segmentation method from a geo‐referenced point cloud. Basically, we rely on some existing tools to generate such a point cloud from aerial images, and our method tries to give semantics to each set of clustered points. In our method, firstly, such points that correspond to the ground surface are removed using the elevation data from the Geographical Survey Institute. Next, we apply an interpoint distance‐based clustering and color‐based clustering. Then, such clusters that share some regions are merged to correctly identify a cluster that corresponds to a single object. We have evaluated our method in several experiments in real fields. We have confirmed that our method can remove the ground surface within 20 cm error and can recognize most of the objects.

线性动态系统反演模型在人体行为识别的应用

目的 人体行为识别在视频监控、环境辅助生活、人机交互和智能驾驶等领域展现出了极其广泛的应用前景。由于目标物体遮挡、视频背景阴影、光照变化、视角变化、多尺度变化、人的衣服和外观变化等问题,使得对视频的处理与分析变得非常困难。为此,本文利用时间序列正反演构造基于张量的线性动态模型,估计模型的参数作为动作序列描述符,构造更加完备的观测矩阵。方法 首先从深度图像提取人体关节点,建立张量形式的人体骨骼正反向序列。然后利用基于张量的线性动态系统和Tucker分解学习参数元组（A_F,A_I,C）,其中C表示人体骨架信息的空间信息,A_F和A_I分别描述正向和反向时间序列的动态性。通过参数元组构造观测矩阵,一个动作就可以表示为观测矩阵的子空间,对应着格拉斯曼流形上的一点。最后通过在格拉斯曼流形上进行字典学习和稀疏编码完成动作识别。结果 实验结果表明,在MSR-Action 3D数据集上,该算法比Eigenjoints算法高13.55%,比局部切从支持向量机（LTBSVM）算法高2.79%,比基于张量的线性动态系统（tLDS）算法高1%。在UT-Kinect数据集上,该算法的行为识别率比LTBSVM算法高5.8%,比tLDS算法高1.3%。结论 通过大量实验评估,验证了基于时间序列正反演构造出来的tLDS模型很好地解决了上述问题,提高了人体动作识别率。     

3D Reconstruction of Indoor Scenes via Image Registration

With the development of computer vision technologies, 3D reconstruction has become a hotspot. At present, 3D reconstruction relies heavily on expensive equipment and has poor real-time performance. In this paper, we aim at solving the problem of 3D reconstruction of an indoor scene with large vertical span. In this paper, we propose a novel approach for 3D reconstruction of indoor scenes with only a Kinect. Firstly, this method uses a Kinect sensor to get color images and depth images of an indoor scene. Secondly, the combination of scale-invariant feature transform and random sample consensus algorithm is used to determine the transformation matrix of adjacent frames, which can be seen as the initial value of iterative closest point (ICP). Thirdly, we establish the relative coordinate relation between pair-wise frames which are the initial point cloud data by using ICP. Finally, we achieve the 3D visual reconstruction model of indoor scene by the top-down image registration of point cloud data. This approach not only mitigates the sensor perspective restriction and achieves the indoor scene reconstruction of large vertical span, but also develops the fast algorithm of indoor scene reconstruction with large amount of cloud data. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has better accuracy, better reconstruction effect, and less running time for point cloud registration. In addition, the proposed method has great potential applied to 3D simultaneous location and mapping.     

三维动作识别时空特征提取方法

针对传统的彩色视频中动作识别算法成本高,且二维信息不足导致动作识别效果不佳的问题,提出一种新的基于三维深度图像序列的动作识别方法。该算法在时间维度上提出了时间深度模型(TDM)来描述动作。在三个正交的笛卡尔平面上,将深度图像序列分成几个子动作,对所有子动作作帧间差分并累积能量,形成深度运动图来描述动作的动态特征。在空间维度上,用空间金字塔方向梯度直方图(SPHOG)对时间深度模型进行编码得到了最终的描述符。最后用支持向量机(SVM)进行动作的分类。在两个权威数据库MSR Action3D和MSRGesture3D上进行实验验证,该方法识别率分别达到了94.90%(交叉测试组)和94.86%。实验结果表明,该方法能够快速对深度图像序列进行计算并取得较高的识别率,并基本满足深度视频序列的实时性要求。     

Parametric Surface Representation with Bump Image for Dense 3D Modeling Using an RBG-D Camera

When constructing a dense 3D model of an indoor static scene from a sequence of RGB-D images, the choice of the 3D representation (e.g. 3D mesh, cloud of points or implicit function) is of crucial importance. In the last few years, the volumetric truncated signed distance function (TSDF) and its extensions have become popular in the community and largely used for the task of dense 3D modelling using RGB-D sensors. However, as this representation is voxel based, it offers few possibilities for manipulating and/or editing the constructed 3D model, which limits its applicability. In particular, the amount of data required to maintain the volumetric TSDF rapidly becomes huge which limits possibilities for portability. Moreover, simplifications (such as mesh extraction and surface simplification) significantly reduce the accuracy of the 3D model (especially in the color space), and editing the 3D model is difficult. We propose a novel compact, flexible and accurate 3D surface representation based on parametric surface patches augmented by geometric and color texture images. Simple parametric shapes such as planes are roughly fitted to the input depth images, and the deviations of the 3D measurements to the fitted parametric surfaces are fused into a geometric texture image (called the Bump image). A confidence and color texture image are also built. Our 3D scene representation is accurate yet memory efficient. Moreover, updating or editing the 3D model becomes trivial since it is reduced to manipulating 2D images. Our experimental results demonstrate the advantages of our proposed 3D representation through a concrete indoor scene reconstruction application.

Interactive Design and Preview of Colored Snapshots of Indoor Scenes

This paper presents an interactive system for quickly designing and previewing colored snapshots of indoor scenes. Different from high-quality 3D indoor scene rendering, which often takes several minutes to render a moderately complicated scene under a specific color theme with high-performance computing devices, our system aims at improving the effectiveness of color theme design of indoor scenes and employs an image colorization approach to efficiently obtain high-resolution snapshots with editable colors. Given several pre-rendered, multi-layer, gray images of the same indoor scene snapshot, our system is designed to colorize and merge them into a single colored snapshot. Our system also assists users in assigning colors to certain objects/components and infers more harmonious colors for the unassigned objects based on pre-collected priors to guide the colorization. The quickly generated snapshots of indoor scenes provide previews of interior design schemes with different color themes, making it easy to determine the personalized design of indoor scenes. To demonstrate the usability and effectiveness of this system, we present a series of experimental results on indoor scenes of different types, and compare our method with a state-of-the-art method for indoor scene material and color suggestion and offline/online rendering software packages.     

ConvNets-based action recognition from skeleton motion maps

With the advance of deep learning, deep learning based action recognition is an important research topic in computer vision. The skeleton sequence is often encoded into an image to better use Convolutional Neural Networks (ConvNets) such as Joint Trajectory Maps (JTM). However, this encoding method cannot effectively capture long temporal information. In order to solve this problem, This paper presents an effective method to encode spatial-temporal information into color texture images from skeleton sequences, referred to as Temporal Pyramid Skeleton Motion Maps (TPSMMs), and Convolutional Neural Networks (ConvNets) are applied to capture the discriminative features from TPSMMs for human action recognition. The TPSMMs not only capture short temporal information, but also embed the long dynamic information over the period of an action. The proposed method has been verified and achieved the state-of-the-art results on the widely used UTD-MHAD, MSRC-12 Kinect Gesture and SYSU-3D datasets.

Spatial Modelling for Mobile Robot’s Vision-based Navigation

We present an algorithm to model 3D workspace and to understand test scene for mobile robot’s navigation or human computer interaction. This has done by line-based modeling and recognition algorithm. Line-based recognition using 3D lines has been tried by many researchers however its reliability still needs improvement due to ambiguity of 3D line feature information from original images. To improve the outcome, we approach firstly to find real planes using given 3D lines and then to implement recognition process. The methods we use are principle component analysis (PCA), plane sweep, occlusion query, and iterative closest point (ICP). During the implementation, we also use 3D map information for localization. We apply this algorithm to real test scene images and find out our result can be useful to identify doors or walls in indoor environment with better efficiency.     

3D human modeling from a single depth image dealing with self-occlusion

This paper presents a 2D to 3D conversion scheme to generate a 3D human model using a single depth image with several color images. In building a complete 3D model, no prior knowledge such as a pre-computed scene structure and photometric and geometric calibrations is required since the depth camera can directly acquire the calibrated geometric and color information in real time. The proposed method deals with a self-occlusion problem which often occurs in images captured by a monocular camera. When an image is obtained from a fixed view, it may not have data for a certain part of an object due to occlusion. The proposed method consists of following steps to resolve this problem. First, the noise in a depth image is reduced by using a series of image processing techniques. Second, a 3D mesh surface is constructed using the proposed depth image-based modeling method. Third, the occlusion problem is resolved by removing the unwanted triangles in the occlusion region and filling the corresponding hole. Finally, textures are extracted and mapped to the 3D surface of the model to provide photo-realistic appearance. Comparison results with the related work demonstrate the efficiency of our method in terms of visual quality and computation time. It can be utilized in creating 3D human models in many 3D applications.     

People Watching: Human Actions as a Cue for Single View Geometry

We present an approach which exploits the coupling between human actions and scene geometry to use human pose as a cue for single-view 3D scene understanding. Our method builds upon recent advances in still-image pose estimation to extract functional and geometric constraints on the scene. These constraints are then used to improve single-view 3D scene understanding approaches. The proposed method is validated on monocular time-lapse sequences from YouTube and still images of indoor scenes gathered from the Internet. We demonstrate that observing people performing different actions can significantly improve estimates of 3D scene geometry.
