Stochastic optimisation for high-dimensional tracking in dense range maps
نویسنده
چکیده
The main challenge of tracking articulated structures like hands is their many degrees of freedom (DOFs). A realistic 3-D model of the human hand has at least 26 DOFs. The arsenal of tracking approaches that can track such structures fast and reliably is still very small. This paper proposes a tracker based on stochastic meta-descent (SMD) for optimisations in such highdimensional state spaces. This new algorithm is based on a gradient descent approach with adaptive and parameter-specific step sizes. The SMD tracker facilitates the integration of constraints, and combined with a stochastic sampling technique, can get out of spurious local minima. Furthermore, the integration of a deformable hand model based on linear blend skinning and anthropometrical measurements reinforces the robustness of the tracker. Experiments show the efficiency of the SMD algorithm in comparison with common optimisation methods.

متن کاملUsing Optical Flow for Step Size Initialisation in Hand Tracking by Stochastic Optimisation
In this paper we use optical flow to initialise step sizes in a stochastic optimisation setting for hand tracking. One can appreciate that most complex hand gestures result in different segments of the hand moving at different speeds. We show that by reflecting this motion difference in our step size initialisation process, the tracking performance can be improved. Significant improvement to tr...

We present a novel approach to real-time dense visual SLAM. Our system is capable of capturing comprehensive dense globally consistent surfel-based maps of room scale environments explored using an RGB-D camera in an incremental online fashion, without pose graph optimisation or any postprocessing steps. This is accomplished by using dense frame-tomodel camera tracking and windowed surfel-based...
