Recurrent Attention Models for Depth-Based Person Identification
We present an attention-based model that reasons on human body shape and
motion dynamics to identify individuals in the absence of RGB information,
hence in the dark. Our approach leverages unique 4D spatio-temporal signatures
to address the identification problem across days. Formulated as a
reinforcement learning task, our model is based on a combination of
convolutional and recurrent neural networks with the goal of identifying small,
discriminative regions indicative of human identity. We demonstrate that our
model produces state-of-the-art results on several published datasets given
only depth images. We further study the robustness of our model towards
viewpoint, appearance, and volumetric changes. Finally, we share insights
gleaned from interpretable 2D, 3D, and 4D visualizations of our model's
spatio-temporal attention.Comment: Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR) 201
Automatic learning of gait signatures for people identification
This work targets people identification in video based on the way they walk
(i.e. gait). While classical methods typically derive gait signatures from
sequences of binary silhouettes, in this work we explore the use of
convolutional neural networks (CNN) for learning high-level descriptors from
low-level motion features (i.e. optical flow components). We carry out a
thorough experimental evaluation of the proposed CNN architecture on the
challenging TUM-GAID dataset. The experimental results indicate that using
spatio-temporal cuboids of optical flow as input data for CNN allows to obtain
state-of-the-art results on the gait task with an image resolution eight times
lower than the previously reported results (i.e. 80x60 pixels).Comment: Proof of concept paper. Technical report on the use of ConvNets (CNN)

Multi-scale 3D Convolution Network for Video Based Person Re-Identification
This paper proposes a two-stream convolution network to extract spatial and
temporal cues for video based person Re-Identification (ReID). A temporal
stream in this network is constructed by inserting several Multi-scale 3D (M3D)
convolution layers into a 2D CNN network. The resulting M3D convolution network
introduces a fraction of parameters into the 2D CNN, but gains the ability of
multi-scale temporal feature learning. With this compact architecture, M3D
convolution network is also more efficient and easier to optimize than existing
3D convolution networks. The temporal stream further involves Residual
Attention Layers (RAL) to refine the temporal features. By jointly learning
spatial-temporal attention masks in a residual manner, RAL identifies the
discriminative spatial regions and temporal cues. The other stream in our
network is implemented with a 2D CNN for spatial feature extraction. The
spatial and temporal features from two streams are finally fused for the video
based person ReID. Evaluations on three widely used benchmarks datasets, i.e.,
MARS, PRID2011, and iLIDS-VID demonstrate the substantial advantages of our
method over existing 3D convolution networks and state-of-art methods.Comment: AAAI, 201
Gait recognition and understanding based on hierarchical temporal memory using 3D gait semantic folding
Gait recognition and understanding systems have shown a wide-ranging application prospect. However, their use of unstructured data from image and video has affected their performance, e.g., they are easily influenced by multi-views, occlusion, clothes, and object carrying conditions. This paper addresses these problems using a realistic 3-dimensional (3D) human structural data and sequential pattern learning framework with top-down attention modulating mechanism based on Hierarchical Temporal Memory (HTM). First, an accurate 2-dimensional (2D) to 3D human body pose and shape semantic parameters estimation method is proposed, which exploits the advantages of an instance-level body parsing model and a virtual dressing method. Second, by using gait semantic folding, the estimated body parameters are encoded using a sparse 2D matrix to construct the structural gait semantic image. In order to achieve time-based gait recognition, an HTM Network is constructed to obtain the sequence-level gait sparse distribution representations (SL-GSDRs). A top-down attention mechanism is introduced to deal with various conditions including multi-views by refining the SL-GSDRs, according to prior knowledge. The proposed gait learning model not only aids gait recognition tasks to overcome the difficulties in real application scenarios but also provides the structured gait semantic images for visual cognition. Experimental analyses on CMU MoBo, CASIA B, TUM-IITKGP, and KY4D datasets show a significant performance gain in terms of accuracy and robustness
Multi-set canonical correlation analysis for 3D abnormal gait behaviour recognition based on virtual sample generation
Small sample dataset and two-dimensional (2D) approach are challenges to vision-based abnormal gait behaviour recognition (AGBR). The lack of three-dimensional (3D) structure of the human body causes 2D based methods to be limited in abnormal gait virtual sample generation (VSG). In this paper, 3D AGBR based on VSG and multi-set canonical correlation analysis (3D-AGRBMCCA) is proposed. First, the unstructured point cloud data of gait are obtained by using a structured light sensor. A 3D parametric body model is then deformed to fit the point cloud data, both in shape and posture. The features of point cloud data are then converted to a high-level structured representation of the body. The parametric body model is used for VSG based on the estimated body pose and shape data. Symmetry virtual samples, pose-perturbation virtual samples and various body-shape virtual samples with multi-views are generated to extend the training samples. The spatial-temporal features of the abnormal gait behaviour from different views, body pose and shape parameters are then extracted by convolutional neural network based Long Short-Term Memory model network. These are projected onto a uniform pattern space using deep learning based multi-set canonical correlation analysis. Experiments on four publicly available datasets show the proposed system performs well under various conditions
