Survey on Vision-based Path Prediction
Path prediction is a fundamental task for estimating how pedestrians or
vehicles are going to move in a scene. Because path prediction as a task of
computer vision uses video as input, various information used for prediction,
such as the environment surrounding the target and the internal state of the
target, need to be estimated from the video in addition to predicting paths.
Many prediction approaches that include understanding the environment and the
internal state have been proposed. In this survey, we systematically summarize
methods of path prediction that take video as input and and extract features
from the video. Moreover, we introduce datasets used to evaluate path
prediction methods quantitatively.Comment: DAPI 201
Review of computer vision in intelligent environment design
This paper discusses and compares the use of vision based and non-vision based technologies in developing intelligent environments. By reviewing the related projects that use vision based techniques in intelligent environment design, the achieved functions, technical issues and drawbacks of those projects are discussed and summarized, and the potential solutions for future improvement are proposed, which leads to the prospective direction of my PhD research

Tracking a table tennis ball for umpiring purposes using a multi-agent system
Tracking a table tennis ball for umpiring purposes is a challenging task as, in real-match scenarios, the ball travels fast and can become occluded or merged with other background objects. This paper presents the design of a multi-view based tracking system that can overcome the challenges of tracking a ball in real match sequences. The system has been tested on a complete table tennis rally and the results are very promising. The system is able to continuously track the ball with only marginal variations in detection. Furthermore, the initialization of the multi-camera system means it is both a portable and cost-effective solution for umpiring purposes
Cognitive visual tracking and camera control
Cognitive visual tracking is the process of observing and understanding the behaviour of a moving person. This paper presents an efficient solution to extract, in real-time, high-level information from an observed scene, and generate the most appropriate commands for a set of pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras in a surveillance scenario. Such a high-level feedback control loop, which is the main novelty of our work, will serve to reduce uncertainties in the observed scene and to maximize the amount of information extracted from it. It is implemented with a distributed camera system using SQL tables as virtual communication channels, and Situation Graph Trees for knowledge representation, inference and high-level camera control. A set of experiments in a surveillance scenario show the effectiveness of our approach and its potential for real applications of cognitive vision
