Two triangulations methods based on edge refinement
In this paper two curvature adaptive methods of surface triangulation
are presented. Both methods are based on edge refinement to obtain a
triangulation compatible with the curvature requirements. The first
method applies an incremental and constrained Delaunay triangulation
and uses curvature bounds to determine if an edge of the triangulation
is admissible. The second method uses this function also in the edge
refinement process, i.e. in the computation of the location of a
refining point, and in the re-triangulation needed after the insertion
of this refining point. Results are presented, comparing both
approachesPostprint (published version
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
