چکیده

The recognition of people orientation in single images is still an open issue in several real cases, when the image resolution is poor, body parts cannot be distinguished and localized or motion cannot be exploited. However, the estimation of a person orientation, even an approximated one, could be very useful to improve people tracking and re-identification systems, or to provide a coarse alignment of body models on the input images. In these situations, holistic features seem to be more effective and faster than model based 3D reconstructions. In this paper we propose to describe the people appearance with multilevel HoG feature sets and to classify their orientation using an array of Extremely Randomized Trees classifiers trained on quantized directions. The outputs of the classifiers are then integrated into a global continuous probability density function using a Mixture of Approximated Wrapped Gaussian distributions. Experiments on the TUD Multiview Pedestrians, the Sarc3D, and the 3DPeS datasets confirm the efficacy of the method and the improvement with respect to state of the art approaches.

Statistical Analysis of Phase-Only Correlation Functions with Phase-Spectrum Differences Following Wrapped Distributions

This paper proposes statistical analysis of phase-only correlation functions with phase-spectrum differences following wrapped distributions. We first assume phase-spectrum differences between two signals to be random variables following a linear distribution. Next, based on directional statistics, we convert the linear distribution into a wrapped distribution by wrapping the linear distributio...

Mixed-up trees: the structure of phylogenetic mixtures.

In this paper, we apply new geometric and combinatorial methods to the study of phylogenetic mixtures. The focus of the geometric approach is to describe the geometry of phylogenetic mixture distributions for the two state random cluster model, which is a generalization of the two state symmetric (CFN) model. In particular, we show that the set of mixture distributions forms a convex polytope a...

Effects of Compactor Types on Aggregate Orientation of Asphalt Mixtures

More than 90% of Malaysian roads are constructed using asphaltic concrete. However, previous investigations of asphaltic concrete have mainly concentrated on the macroscopic properties of the composite materials based on the assumption that the mixtures are homogeneous and isotropic. This paper applies a digital image processing technique to compare the orientations of coarse aggregate particle...
