Deep Forward and Inverse Perceptual Models for Tracking and Prediction
We consider the problems of learning forward models that map state to
high-dimensional images and inverse models that map high-dimensional images to
state in robotics. Specifically, we present a perceptual model for generating
video frames from state with deep networks, and provide a framework for its use
in tracking and prediction tasks. We show that our proposed model greatly
outperforms standard deconvolutional methods and GANs for image generation,
producing clear, photo-realistic images. We also develop a convolutional neural
network model for state estimation and compare the result to an Extended Kalman
Filter to estimate robot trajectories. We validate all models on a real robotic
system.Comment: 8 pages, International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA)

Data-Driven Shape Analysis and Processing
Data-driven methods play an increasingly important role in discovering
geometric, structural, and semantic relationships between 3D shapes in
collections, and applying this analysis to support intelligent modeling,
editing, and visualization of geometric data. In contrast to traditional
approaches, a key feature of data-driven approaches is that they aggregate
information from a collection of shapes to improve the analysis and processing
of individual shapes. In addition, they are able to learn models that reason
about properties and relationships of shapes without relying on hard-coded
rules or explicitly programmed instructions. We provide an overview of the main
concepts and components of these techniques, and discuss their application to
shape classification, segmentation, matching, reconstruction, modeling and
exploration, as well as scene analysis and synthesis, through reviewing the
literature and relating the existing works with both qualitative and numerical
comparisons. We conclude our report with ideas that can inspire future research
in data-driven shape analysis and processing.Comment: 10 pages, 19 figure
A survey on 2d object tracking in digital video
This paper presents object tracking methods in video.Different algorithms based on rigid, non rigid and articulated object tracking are studied. The goal of this article is to review the state-of-the-art tracking methods, classify them
into different categories, and identify new trends.It is often the case that tracking objects in consecutive frames is supported by a prediction scheme. Based on information extracted from previous frames and any high level information that can be obtained, the state (location) of the
object is predicted.An excellent framework for prediction is kalman filter, which additionally estimates prediction error.In complex scenes, instead of single hypothesis, multiple hypotheses using Particle filter can be used.Different
techniques are given for different types of constraints in video
