Multisensor Poisson Multi-Bernoulli Filter for Joint Target-Sensor State Tracking
In a typical multitarget tracking (MTT) scenario, the sensor state is either
assumed known, or tracking is performed in the sensor's (relative) coordinate
frame. This assumption does not hold when the sensor, e.g., an automotive
radar, is mounted on a vehicle, and the target state should be represented in a
global (absolute) coordinate frame. Then it is important to consider the
uncertain location of the vehicle on which the sensor is mounted for MTT. In
this paper, we present a multisensor low complexity Poisson multi-Bernoulli MTT
filter, which jointly tracks the uncertain vehicle state and target states.
Measurements collected by different sensors mounted on multiple vehicles with
varying location uncertainty are incorporated sequentially based on the arrival
of new sensor measurements. In doing so, targets observed from a sensor mounted
on a well-localized vehicle reduce the state uncertainty of other poorly
localized vehicles, provided that a common non-empty subset of targets is
observed. A low complexity filter is obtained by approximations of the joint
sensor-feature state density minimizing the Kullback-Leibler divergence (KLD).
Results from synthetic as well as experimental measurement data, collected in a
vehicle driving scenario, demonstrate the performance benefits of joint
vehicle-target state tracking.Comment: 13 pages, 7 figure
Real-time Multiple People Tracking with Deeply Learned Candidate Selection and Person Re-Identification
Online multi-object tracking is a fundamental problem in time-critical video
analysis applications. A major challenge in the popular tracking-by-detection
framework is how to associate unreliable detection results with existing
tracks. In this paper, we propose to handle unreliable detection by collecting
candidates from outputs of both detection and tracking. The intuition behind
generating redundant candidates is that detection and tracks can complement
each other in different scenarios. Detection results of high confidence prevent
tracking drifts in the long term, and predictions of tracks can handle noisy
detection caused by occlusion. In order to apply optimal selection from a
considerable amount of candidates in real-time, we present a novel scoring
function based on a fully convolutional neural network, that shares most
computations on the entire image. Moreover, we adopt a deeply learned
appearance representation, which is trained on large-scale person
re-identification datasets, to improve the identification ability of our
tracker. Extensive experiments show that our tracker achieves real-time and
state-of-the-art performance on a widely used people tracking benchmark.Comment: ICME 201
Simple yet efficient real-time pose-based action recognition
Recognizing human actions is a core challenge for autonomous systems as they
directly share the same space with humans. Systems must be able to recognize
and assess human actions in real-time. In order to train corresponding
data-driven algorithms, a significant amount of annotated training data is
required. We demonstrated a pipeline to detect humans, estimate their pose,
track them over time and recognize their actions in real-time with standard
monocular camera sensors. For action recognition, we encode the human pose into
a new data format called Encoded Human Pose Image (EHPI) that can then be
classified using standard methods from the computer vision community. With this
simple procedure we achieve competitive state-of-the-art performance in
pose-based action detection and can ensure real-time performance. In addition,
we show a use case in the context of autonomous driving to demonstrate how such
a system can be trained to recognize human actions using simulation data.Comment: Submitted to IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems Conference
