DAP3D-Net: Where, What and How Actions Occur in Videos?
Action parsing in videos with complex scenes is an interesting but
challenging task in computer vision. In this paper, we propose a generic 3D
convolutional neural network in a multi-task learning manner for effective Deep
Action Parsing (DAP3D-Net) in videos. Particularly, in the training phase,
action localization, classification and attributes learning can be jointly
optimized on our appearancemotion data via DAP3D-Net. For an upcoming test
video, we can describe each individual action in the video simultaneously as:
Where the action occurs, What the action is and How the action is performed. To
well demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed DAP3D-Net, we also
contribute a new Numerous-category Aligned Synthetic Action dataset, i.e.,
NASA, which consists of 200; 000 action clips of more than 300 categories and
with 33 pre-defined action attributes in two hierarchical levels (i.e.,
low-level attributes of basic body part movements and high-level attributes
related to action motion). We learn DAP3D-Net using the NASA dataset and then
evaluate it on our collected Human Action Understanding (HAU) dataset.
Experimental results show that our approach can accurately localize, categorize
and describe multiple actions in realistic videos
Past, Present, and Future of Simultaneous Localization And Mapping: Towards the Robust-Perception Age
Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM)consists in the concurrent
construction of a model of the environment (the map), and the estimation of the
state of the robot moving within it. The SLAM community has made astonishing
progress over the last 30 years, enabling large-scale real-world applications,
and witnessing a steady transition of this technology to industry. We survey
the current state of SLAM. We start by presenting what is now the de-facto
standard formulation for SLAM. We then review related work, covering a broad
set of topics including robustness and scalability in long-term mapping, metric
and semantic representations for mapping, theoretical performance guarantees,
active SLAM and exploration, and other new frontiers. This paper simultaneously
serves as a position paper and tutorial to those who are users of SLAM. By
looking at the published research with a critical eye, we delineate open
challenges and new research issues, that still deserve careful scientific
investigation. The paper also contains the authors' take on two questions that
often animate discussions during robotics conferences: Do robots need SLAM? and
Is SLAM solved
