Future Person Localization in First-Person Videos
We present a new task that predicts future locations of people observed in
first-person videos. Consider a first-person video stream continuously recorded
by a wearable camera. Given a short clip of a person that is extracted from the
complete stream, we aim to predict that person's location in future frames. To
facilitate this future person localization ability, we make the following three
key observations: a) First-person videos typically involve significant
ego-motion which greatly affects the location of the target person in future
frames; b) Scales of the target person act as a salient cue to estimate a
perspective effect in first-person videos; c) First-person videos often capture
people up-close, making it easier to leverage target poses (e.g., where they
look) for predicting their future locations. We incorporate these three
observations into a prediction framework with a multi-stream
convolution-deconvolution architecture. Experimental results reveal our method
to be effective on our new dataset as well as on a public social interaction
dataset.Comment: Accepted to CVPR 201

Object Instance Identification in Dynamic Environments
We study the problem of identifying object instances in a dynamic environment
where people interact with the objects. In such an environment, objects'
appearance changes dynamically by interaction with other entities, occlusion by
hands, background change, etc. This leads to a larger intra-instance variation
of appearance than in static environments. To discover the challenges in this
setting, we newly built a benchmark of more than 1,500 instances built on the
EPIC-KITCHENS dataset which includes natural activities and conducted an
extensive analysis of it. Experimental results suggest that (i) robustness
against instance-specific appearance change (ii) integration of low-level
(e.g., color, texture) and high-level (e.g., object category) features (iii)
foreground feature selection on overlapping objects are required for further
improvement.Comment: Joint 1st Ego4D and 10th EPIC Workshop (EPIC@CVPR2022) Extended

Recurrent femoral shaft fractures in a child with gnathodiaphyseal dysplasia: a case report
Abstract Background Gnathodiaphyseal dysplasia (GDD) is an extremely rare autosomal dominant disease characterized by cemento-osseous lesions in the jawbones, bone fragility, and diaphyseal sclerosis of the tubular bones. Patients with GDD are prone to sustain fractures by minor accidents. Although over 80 cases have been reported, detailed information about the orthopedic treatment of the fractures is limited. Case presentation A 9-year-old Japanese girl with a known history of GDD presented with pain and deformity in the left thigh after a minor fall. She had a displaced transverse fracture in the mid-shaft of the left femur and underwent a closed reduction and external fixation. In the 25th week after the initial surgery, she had another fracture in the left femur at one of the half-pin insertion sites. She underwent an external fixation again. After this operation, the patient sustained another refracture at the same fracture site and one supracondylar fracture at the distant site of the femur. The supracondylar fracture occurred without any triggering activity before beginning a weight-bearing exercise. The supracondylar fracture was successfully treated conservatively, but she sustained two more diaphyseal fractures at half-pin insertion sites one after another. She eventually underwent a revision surgery with a flexible intramedullary nail. At 3 months postoperatively, the fracture was healed and the patient maintained her ambulatory status without further refracture. Conclusions Patients with GDD might have narrower safety ranges of biomechanical and physiological drawbacks, which are considered to be acceptable in ordinary cases. The choice of treatment should be aimed at minimizing these negative effects. We recommend intramedullary devise as the first-choice implant for the treatment of isolated femoral shaft fracture in GDD patients in this age group
