Deep representation learning for human motion prediction and classification
Generative models of 3D human motion are often restricted to a small number
of activities and can therefore not generalize well to novel movements or
applications. In this work we propose a deep learning framework for human
motion capture data that learns a generic representation from a large corpus of
motion capture data and generalizes well to new, unseen, motions. Using an
encoding-decoding network that learns to predict future 3D poses from the most
recent past, we extract a feature representation of human motion. Most work on
deep learning for sequence prediction focuses on video and speech. Since
skeletal data has a different structure, we present and evaluate different
network architectures that make different assumptions about time dependencies
and limb correlations. To quantify the learned features, we use the output of
different layers for action classification and visualize the receptive fields
of the network units. Our method outperforms the recent state of the art in
skeletal motion prediction even though these use action specific training data.
Our results show that deep feedforward networks, trained from a generic mocap
database, can successfully be used for feature extraction from human motion
data and that this representation can be used as a foundation for
classification and prediction.Comment: This paper is published at the IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and

Recent Progress in Image Deblurring
This paper comprehensively reviews the recent development of image
deblurring, including non-blind/blind, spatially invariant/variant deblurring
techniques. Indeed, these techniques share the same objective of inferring a
latent sharp image from one or several corresponding blurry images, while the
blind deblurring techniques are also required to derive an accurate blur
kernel. Considering the critical role of image restoration in modern imaging
systems to provide high-quality images under complex environments such as
motion, undesirable lighting conditions, and imperfect system components, image
deblurring has attracted growing attention in recent years. From the viewpoint
of how to handle the ill-posedness which is a crucial issue in deblurring
tasks, existing methods can be grouped into five categories: Bayesian inference
framework, variational methods, sparse representation-based methods,
homography-based modeling, and region-based methods. In spite of achieving a
certain level of development, image deblurring, especially the blind case, is
limited in its success by complex application conditions which make the blur
kernel hard to obtain and be spatially variant. We provide a holistic
understanding and deep insight into image deblurring in this review. An
analysis of the empirical evidence for representative methods, practical
issues, as well as a discussion of promising future directions are also
presented.Comment: 53 pages, 17 figure
