Multiple Structured Light-Based Depth Sensors for Human Motion Analysis: A Review
2012
Human motion analysis is an increasingly important active research domain with various applications in surveillance, human-machine interaction and human posture analysis. The recent developments in depth sensor technology, especially with the release of the Kinect device, have attracted significant attention to the question of how to take advantage of this technology in order to achieve accurate motion tracking and action detection in marker-less approaches. In this paper, we review the benefits and limitations deriving from the adoption of structured light-based depth sensors in human motion analysis applications. Surveying the relevant literature, we have identified in calibration, interf…
Evolutionary-based 3D reconstruction using an uncalibrated stereovision system: application of building a panoramic object view
2010
In this paper, we propose an original evolutionary-based method for 3D panoramic reconstruction from an uncalibrated stereovision system (USS). The USS is composed of five cameras located on an arc of a circle around the object to be analyzed. The main originality of this work concerns the process of the calculation of the 3D information. Actually, with our method, 3D coordinates are directly obtained without any prior estimation of the fundamental matrix. The method operates in two steps. Firstly, points of interest are detected in pairs of images acquired by two consecutive cameras of the USS are matched. And secondly, using evolutionary algorithms, we jointly compute the transformed matr…

Adding Knowledge Extracted by Association Rules into Similarity Queries
2010
International audience; In this paper, we propose new techniques to improve the quality of similarity queries over image databases performing association rule mining over textual descriptions and automatically extracted features of the image content. Based on the knowledge mined, each query posed is rewritten in order to better meet the user expectations. We propose an extension of SQL aimed at exploring mining processes over complex data, generating association rules that extract semantic information from the textual description superimposed to the extracted features, thereafter using them to rewrite the queries. As a result, the system obtains results closer to the user expectation than i…
Identifying Algebraic Properties to Support Optimization of Unary Similarity Queries
2009
International audience; Abstract. Conventional operators for data retrieval are either based on exact matching or on total order relationship among elements. Neither ofthem is appropriate to manage complex data, such as multimedia data, time series and genetic sequences. In fact, the most meaningful way tocompare complex data is by similarity. However, the Relational Algebra, employed in the Relational Database Management Systems (RDBMS),cannot express similarity criteria. In order to address this issue, we provide here an extension of the Relational Algebra, aimed at representingsimilarity queries in algebraic expressions. This paper identies fundamental properties to allow the integration…
Spatial Rules through Spatial Rule built-ins in SWRL
2010
International audience; The paper presents a method to include spatial rule within rule languages like SWRL to infer spatial rules within semantic web framework. The concept presented here could benefit both geospatial community as they benefit using the adjusted knowledge base to infer spatial rule and semantic web community as the inclusion of spatial data in its framework
