Title ChaLearn Looking at People 2015 challenges: action spotting and cultural event recognition Type Conference Article
Year 2015 Publication 2015 IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition Worshops (CVPRW) Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 1-9
Keywords (up)
Abstract Following previous series on Looking at People (LAP) challenges [6, 5, 4], ChaLearn ran two competitions to be presented at CVPR 2015: action/interaction spotting and cultural event recognition in RGB data. We ran a second round on human activity recognition on RGB data sequences. In terms of cultural event recognition, tens of categories have to be recognized. This involves scene understanding and human analysis. This paper summarizes the two performed challenges and obtained results. Details of the ChaLearn LAP competitions can be found at http://gesture.chalearn.org/.

Title Spatio-temporal Analysis of RGB-D-T Facial Images for Multimodal Pain Level Recognition Type Conference Article
Year 2015 Publication 2015 IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition Worshops (CVPRW) Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 88-95
Keywords (up)
Abstract Pain is a vital sign of human health and its automatic detection can be of crucial importance in many different contexts, including medical scenarios. While most available computer vision techniques are based on RGB, in this paper, we investigate the effect of combining RGB, depth, and thermal
facial images for pain detection and pain intensity level recognition. For this purpose, we extract energies released by facial pixels using a spatiotemporal filter. Experiments on a group of 12 elderly people applying the multimodal approach show that the proposed method successfully detects pain and recognizes between three intensity levels in 82% of the analyzed frames improving more than 6% over RGB only analysis in similar conditions.

Title Keep it Accurate and Diverse: Enhancing Action Recognition Performance by Ensemble Learning Type Conference Article
Year 2015 Publication IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition Worshops (CVPRW) Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 22-29
Keywords (up)
Abstract The performance of different action recognition techniques has recently been studied by several computer vision researchers. However, the potential improvement in classification through classifier fusion by ensemble-based methods has remained unattended. In this work, we evaluate the performance of an ensemble of action learning techniques, each performing the recognition task from a different perspective.
The underlying idea is that instead of aiming a very sophisticated and powerful representation/learning technique, we can learn action categories using a set of relatively simple and diverse classifiers, each trained with different feature set. In addition, combining the outputs of several learners can reduce the risk of an unfortunate selection of a learner on an unseen action recognition scenario.
This leads to having a more robust and general-applicable framework. In order to improve the recognition performance, a powerful combination strategy is utilized based on the Dempster-Shafer theory, which can effectively make use
of diversity of base learners trained on different sources of information. The recognition results of the individual classifiers are compared with those obtained from fusing the classifiers’ output, showing enhanced performance of the proposed methodology.

Title Gesture and Action Recognition by Evolved Dynamic Subgestures Type Conference Article
Year 2015 Publication 26th British Machine Vision Conference Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 129.1-129.13
Keywords (up)
Abstract This paper introduces a framework for gesture and action recognition based on the evolution of temporal gesture primitives, or subgestures. Our work is inspired on the principle of producing genetic variations within a population of gesture subsequences, with the goal of obtaining a set of gesture units that enhance the generalization capability of standard gesture recognition approaches. In our context, gesture primitives are evolved over time using dynamic programming and generative models in order to recognize complex actions. In few generations, the proposed subgesture-based representation
of actions and gestures outperforms the state of the art results on the MSRDaily3D and MSRAction3D datasets.

Title A predictive model for human activity recognition by observing actions and context Type Conference Article
Year 2015 Publication Advanced Concepts for Intelligent Vision Systems, Proceedings of 16th International Conference, ACIVS 2015 Abbreviated Journal
Volume 9386 Issue Pages 323-333
Keywords (up)
Abstract This paper presents a novel model to estimate human activities — a human activity is defined by a set of human actions. The proposed approach is based on the usage of Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN) and Bayesian inference through the continuous monitoring of human actions and its surrounding environment. In the current work human activities are inferred considering not only visual analysis but also additional resources; external sources of information, such as context information, are incorporated to contribute to the activity estimation. The novelty of the proposed approach lies in the way the information is encoded, so that it can be later associated according to a predefined semantic structure. Hence, a pattern representing a given activity can be defined by a set of actions, plus contextual information or other kind of information that could be relevant to describe the activity. Experimental results with real data are provided showing the validity of the proposed approach.

Title The Richer Representation the Better Registration Type Journal Article
Year 2013 Publication IEEE Transactions on Image Processing Abbreviated Journal TIP
Volume 22 Issue 12 Pages 5036-5049
Keywords (up)
Abstract In this paper, the registration problem is formulated as a point to model distance minimization. Unlike most of the existing works, which are based on minimizing a point-wise correspondence term, this formulation avoids the correspondence search that is time-consuming. In the first stage, the target set is described through an implicit function by employing a linear least squares fitting. This function can be either an implicit polynomial or an implicit B-spline from a coarse to fine representation. In the second stage, we show how the obtained implicit representation is used as an interface to convert point-to-point registration into point-to-implicit problem. Furthermore, we show that this registration distance is smooth and can be minimized through the Levengberg-Marquardt algorithm. All the formulations presented for both stages are compact and easy to implement. In addition, we show that our registration method can be handled using any implicit representation though some are coarse and others provide finer representations; hence, a tradeoff between speed and accuracy can be set by employing the right implicit function. Experimental results and comparisons in 2D and 3D show the robustness and the speed of convergence of the proposed approach.

Title Intestinal gas content and distribution in health and in patients with functional gut symptoms Type Journal Article
Year 2015 Publication Neurogastroenterology & Motility Abbreviated Journal NEUMOT
Volume 27 Issue 9 Pages 1249-1257
Keywords (up)
Abstract BACKGROUND:
The precise relation of intestinal gas to symptoms, particularly abdominal bloating and distension remains incompletely elucidated. Our aim was to define the normal values of intestinal gas volume and distribution and to identify abnormalities in relation to functional-type symptoms.
METHODS:
Abdominal computed tomography scans were evaluated in healthy subjects (n = 37) and in patients in three conditions: basal (when they were feeling well; n = 88), during an episode of abdominal distension (n = 82) and after a challenge diet (n = 24). Intestinal gas content and distribution were measured by an original analysis program. Identification of patients outside the normal range was performed by machine learning techniques (one-class classifier). Results are expressed as median (IQR) or mean ± SE, as appropriate.
KEY RESULTS:
In healthy subjects the gut contained 95 (71, 141) mL gas distributed along the entire lumen. No differences were detected between patients studied under asymptomatic basal conditions and healthy subjects. However, either during a spontaneous bloating episode or once challenged with a flatulogenic diet, luminal gas was found to be increased and/or abnormally distributed in about one-fourth of the patients. These patients detected outside the normal range by the classifier exhibited a significantly greater number of abnormal features than those within the normal range (3.7 ± 0.4 vs 0.4 ± 0.1; p < 0.001).
CONCLUSIONS & INFERENCES:
The analysis of a large cohort of subjects using original techniques provides unique and heretofore unavailable information on the volume and distribution of intestinal gas in normal conditions and in relation to functional gastrointestinal symptoms.

Title Recognizing Actions through Action-specific Person Detection Type Journal Article
Year 2015 Publication IEEE Transactions on Image Processing Abbreviated Journal TIP
Volume 24 Issue 11 Pages 4422-4432
Keywords (up)
Abstract Action recognition in still images is a challenging problem in computer vision. To facilitate comparative evaluation independently of person detection, the standard evaluation protocol for action recognition uses an oracle person detector to obtain perfect bounding box information at both training and test time. The assumption is that, in practice, a general person detector will provide candidate bounding boxes for action recognition. In this paper, we argue that this paradigm is suboptimal and that action class labels should already be considered during the detection stage. Motivated by the observation that body pose is strongly conditioned on action class, we show that: 1) the existing state-of-the-art generic person detectors are not adequate for proposing candidate bounding boxes for action classification; 2) due to limited training examples, the direct training of action-specific person detectors is also inadequate; and 3) using only a small number of labeled action examples, the transfer learning is able to adapt an existing detector to propose higher quality bounding boxes for subsequent action classification. To the best of our knowledge, we are the first to investigate transfer learning for the task of action-specific person detection in still images. We perform extensive experiments on two benchmark data sets: 1) Stanford-40 and 2) PASCAL VOC 2012. For the action detection task (i.e., both person localization and classification of the action performed), our approach outperforms methods based on general person detection by 5.7% mean average precision (MAP) on Stanford-40 and 2.1% MAP on PASCAL VOC 2012. Our approach also significantly outperforms the state of the art with a MAP of 45.4% on Stanford-40 and 31.4% on PASCAL VOC 2012. We also evaluate our action detection approach for the task of action classification (i.e., recognizing actions without localizing them). For this task, our approach, without using any ground-truth person localization at test tim- , outperforms on both data sets state-of-the-art methods, which do use person locations.

Title From emotions to action units with hidden and semi-hidden-task learning Type Conference Article
Year 2015 Publication 16th IEEE International Conference on Computer Vision Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 3703-3711
Keywords (up)
Abstract Limited annotated training data is a challenging problem in Action Unit recognition. In this paper, we investigate how the use of large databases labelled according to the 6 universal facial expressions can increase the generalization ability of Action Unit classifiers. For this purpose, we propose a novel learning framework: Hidden-Task Learning. HTL aims to learn a set of Hidden-Tasks (Action Units)for which samples are not available but, in contrast, training data is easier to obtain from a set of related VisibleTasks (Facial Expressions). To that end, HTL is able to exploit prior knowledge about the relation between Hidden and Visible-Tasks. In our case, we base this prior knowledge on empirical psychological studies providing statistical correlations between Action Units and universal facial expressions. Additionally, we extend HTL to Semi-Hidden Task Learning (SHTL) assuming that Action Unit training samples are also provided. Performing exhaustive experiments over four different datasets, we show that HTL and SHTL improve the generalization ability of AU classifiers by training them with additional facial expression data. Additionally, we show that SHTL achieves competitive performance compared with state-of-the-art Transductive Learning approaches which face the problem of limited training data by using unlabelled test samples during training.
