Attentive monitoring of multiple video streams driven by a Bayesian foraging strategy
In this paper we shall consider the problem of deploying attention to subsets
of the video streams for collating the most relevant data and information of
interest related to a given task. We formalize this monitoring problem as a
foraging problem. We propose a probabilistic framework to model observer's
attentive behavior as the behavior of a forager. The forager, moment to moment,
focuses its attention on the most informative stream/camera, detects
interesting objects or activities, or switches to a more profitable stream. The
approach proposed here is suitable to be exploited for multi-stream video
summarization. Meanwhile, it can serve as a preliminary step for more
sophisticated video surveillance, e.g. activity and behavior analysis.
Experimental results achieved on the UCR Videoweb Activities Dataset, a
publicly available dataset, are presented to illustrate the utility of the
proposed technique.Comment: Accepted to IEEE Transactions on Image Processin
Clustering Learning for Robotic Vision
We present the clustering learning technique applied to multi-layer
feedforward deep neural networks. We show that this unsupervised learning
technique can compute network filters with only a few minutes and a much
reduced set of parameters. The goal of this paper is to promote the technique
for general-purpose robotic vision systems. We report its use in static image
datasets and object tracking datasets. We show that networks trained with
clustering learning can outperform large networks trained for many hours on
complex datasets.Comment: Code for this paper is available here:
