Gait Identification Considering Body Tilt byWalking Direction Changes
Gait identification has recently gained attention as a method of identifying individuals at a distance. Thought most of the previous works mainly treated straight-walk sequences for simplicity, curved-walk sequences should be also treated considering situations where a person walks along a curved path or enters a building from a sidewalk. In such cases, person's body sometimes tilts by centrifugal force when walking directions change, and this body tilt considerably degrades gait silhouette and identification performance, especially for widely-used appearance-based approaches. Therefore, we propose a method of body-tilted silhouette correction based on centrifugal force estimation from walking trajectories. Then, gait identification process including gait feature extraction in the frequency domain and learning of a View Transformation Model (VTM) follows the silhouette correction. Experiments of gait identification for circular-walk sequences demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method
Musculoskeletal Estimation Using Inertial Measurement Units and Single Video Image
International audienceWe address the problem of estimating the physical burden of a human body. This translates to monitor and estimate muscle tension and joint reaction forces of a mus-culoskeletal model in real-time. The system should minimize the discomfort generating by any sensors that needs to be fixed on the user. Our system combines a 3D pose estimation from vision and IMU sensors. We aim to minimize the number of IMU fixed to the subject while compensating the remaining lack of information with vision
Role of Topology in Relaxation of One-Dimensional Stochastic Processes
Stochastic processes are commonly used models to describe dynamics of a wide
variety of nonequilibrium phenomena ranging from electrical transport to
biological motion. The transition matrix describing a stochastic process can be
regarded as a non-Hermitian Hamiltonian. Unlike general non-Hermitian systems,
the conservation of probability imposes additional constraints on the
transition matrix, which can induce unique topological phenomena. Here, we
reveal the role of topology in relaxation phenomena of classical stochastic
processes. Specifically, we define a winding number that is related to topology
of stochastic processes and show that it predicts the existence of a spectral
gap that characterizes the relaxation time. Then, we numerically confirm that
the winding number corresponds to the system-size dependence of the relaxation
time and the characteristic transient behavior. One can experimentally realize
such topological phenomena in magnetotactic bacteria and cell adhesions.Comment: 6+17 pages, 4+15 figure

Multiview Projectors/Cameras System for 3D Reconstruction of Dynamic Scenes
International audienceActive vision systems are usually limited to either partial or static scene reconstructions. In this paper, we propose to acquire the entire 3D shape of a dynamic scene. This is performed using a multiple projectors and cameras system, that allows to recover the entire shape of the object within a single scan at each frame. Like previous approaches, a static and simple pattern is used to avoid interferences of multiple patterns projected on the same object. In this paper, we extend the technique to capture a dense entire shape of a moving object with accuracy and high video frame rate. To achieve this, we mainly propose two additional steps; one is checking the consistency between the multiple cameras and projectors, and the other is an algorithm for light sectioning based on a plane parameter optimization. In addition, we also propose efficient noise reduction and mesh generation algorithm which are necessary for practical applications. In the experiments, we show that we can successfully reconstruct dense entire shapes of moving objects. Results are illustrated on real data from a system composed of six projectors and six cameras that was actually built
