2.5D multi-view gait recognition based on point cloud registration
This paper presents a method for modeling a 2.5-dimensional (2.5D) human body and extracting the gait features for identifying the human subject. To achieve view-invariant gait recognition, a multi-view synthesizing method based on point cloud registration (MVSM) to generate multi-view training galleries is proposed. The concept of a density and curvature-based Color Gait Curvature Image is introduced to map 2.5D data onto a 2D space to enable data dimension reduction by discrete cosine transform and 2D principle component analysis. Gait recognition is achieved via a 2.5D view-invariant gait recognition method based on point cloud registration. Experimental results on the in-house database captured by a Microsoft Kinect camera show a significant performance gain when using MVSM
Large scale evaluation of local image feature detectors on homography datasets
We present a large scale benchmark for the evaluation of local feature
detectors. Our key innovation is the introduction of a new evaluation protocol
which extends and improves the standard detection repeatability measure. The
new protocol is better for assessment on a large number of images and reduces
the dependency of the results on unwanted distractors such as the number of
detected features and the feature magnification factor. Additionally, our
protocol provides a comprehensive assessment of the expected performance of
detectors under several practical scenarios. Using images from the
recently-introduced HPatches dataset, we evaluate a range of state-of-the-art
local feature detectors on two main tasks: viewpoint and illumination invariant
detection. Contrary to previous detector evaluations, our study contains an
order of magnitude more image sequences, resulting in a quantitative evaluation
significantly more robust to over-fitting. We also show that traditional
detectors are still very competitive when compared to recent deep-learning
alternatives.Comment: Accepted to BMVC 201
