Recurrent 3D Pose Sequence Machines
3D human articulated pose recovery from monocular image sequences is very
challenging due to the diverse appearances, viewpoints, occlusions, and also
the human 3D pose is inherently ambiguous from the monocular imagery. It is
thus critical to exploit rich spatial and temporal long-range dependencies
among body joints for accurate 3D pose sequence prediction. Existing approaches
usually manually design some elaborate prior terms and human body kinematic
constraints for capturing structures, which are often insufficient to exploit
all intrinsic structures and not scalable for all scenarios. In contrast, this
paper presents a Recurrent 3D Pose Sequence Machine(RPSM) to automatically
learn the image-dependent structural constraint and sequence-dependent temporal
context by using a multi-stage sequential refinement. At each stage, our RPSM
is composed of three modules to predict the 3D pose sequences based on the
previously learned 2D pose representations and 3D poses: (i) a 2D pose module
extracting the image-dependent pose representations, (ii) a 3D pose recurrent
module regressing 3D poses and (iii) a feature adaption module serving as a
bridge between module (i) and (ii) to enable the representation transformation
from 2D to 3D domain. These three modules are then assembled into a sequential
prediction framework to refine the predicted poses with multiple recurrent
stages. Extensive evaluations on the Human3.6M dataset and HumanEva-I dataset
show that our RPSM outperforms all state-of-the-art approaches for 3D pose
estimation.Comment: Published in CVPR 201
Polypyrrole and associated hybrid nanocomposites as chemiresistive gas sensors: A comprehensive review
The detection of toxic and flammable gases entwines a wide diversity of application purposes, such as medical diagnosis, food quality monitoring, environmental tracking, and so forth. In recent, polypyrrole (PPy) nanostructure and its hybrid composite have been emerged as an auspicious gas sensing element because of their unique physicochemical attributes. This review article demonstrates a comprehensive outlook of rapid progress in polypyrrole (PPy) and associated hybrid composite based chemiresistive gas sensors till now. Furthermore, the role of PPy nanostructures and organic or inorganic additives (CNT, graphene or its derivative, metal nanoparticle, metal oxides, metal sulfides) in PPy matrix towards improved gas sensing performance are discussed hereunder. The detailed and systematic discussion on the synthesis strategies, gas sensing principle of the PPy nanostructures, and its composites along with the development of sensor device configuration provide an in-depth understanding of the aforesaid topic to the readers. However, some relevant limitations of PPy and associated composites based gas sensor are addressed after investigating the thorough literature survey. Finally, this article will promote an advanced as well as focused direction to the readers for further development of PPy based high-performance gas sensing devices
