Deep Learning on Lie Groups for Skeleton-based Action Recognition
In recent years, skeleton-based action recognition has become a popular 3D
classification problem. State-of-the-art methods typically first represent each
motion sequence as a high-dimensional trajectory on a Lie group with an
additional dynamic time warping, and then shallowly learn favorable Lie group
features. In this paper we incorporate the Lie group structure into a deep
network architecture to learn more appropriate Lie group features for 3D action
recognition. Within the network structure, we design rotation mapping layers to
transform the input Lie group features into desirable ones, which are aligned
better in the temporal domain. To reduce the high feature dimensionality, the
architecture is equipped with rotation pooling layers for the elements on the
Lie group. Furthermore, we propose a logarithm mapping layer to map the
resulting manifold data into a tangent space that facilitates the application
of regular output layers for the final classification. Evaluations of the
proposed network for standard 3D human action recognition datasets clearly
demonstrate its superiority over existing shallow Lie group feature learning
methods as well as most conventional deep learning methods.Comment: Accepted to CVPR 201
Ensemble of Hankel Matrices for Face Emotion Recognition
In this paper, a face emotion is considered as the result of the composition
of multiple concurrent signals, each corresponding to the movements of a
specific facial muscle. These concurrent signals are represented by means of a
set of multi-scale appearance features that might be correlated with one or
more concurrent signals. The extraction of these appearance features from a
sequence of face images yields to a set of time series. This paper proposes to
use the dynamics regulating each appearance feature time series to recognize
among different face emotions. To this purpose, an ensemble of Hankel matrices
corresponding to the extracted time series is used for emotion classification
within a framework that combines nearest neighbor and a majority vote schema.
Experimental results on a public available dataset shows that the adopted
representation is promising and yields state-of-the-art accuracy in emotion
classification.Comment: Paper to appear in Proc. of ICIAP 2015. arXiv admin note: text
