Shape and Dynamics in Human Movement Analysis Ashok Veeraraghavan Outline Motivation What do we want to do? Shape Shape based methods for recognition Dynamics based methods for recognition Results Current Work Motivation Human Perception Shape or Dynamics (or is it Both??) Laurel and Hardy Who is this ? ? ? Introduction Psychophysics work indicates that dynamics is important for recognition in humans. Johansson: Light Display Moving dots Murray(1964) : 24 gait components Cutting :Familiarity;Static Vs Dynamic Kozlowski: dynamics speed, bounciness, rhythm. Cutting : Dynamic Invariant Gender Discrimination Prior Work Image Correlation. Silhoutte Based Nearest Neighbour. Dynamic Time Warping Hidden Markov Model Model parts of human body and extract gait signature.(eg., Thigh) Most gait recognition algorithms are shape based ! Relative importance of shape and dynamics Definition of Shape “Shape is all the geometric information that remains when location, scale and rotational effects are filtered out from the object”. Kendall’s Statistical Shape Theory used for the characterization of shape. Pre-shape accounts for location and scale invariance alone. Pre-Shape k landmark points (complex vector) Translational Invariance: Subtract mean Scale Invariance : Normalize the scale Feature Extraction Silhoutte Landmarks Centered Landmarks Pre-shape vector Distance between shapes Shape lies on a spherical manifold. Shape distance must incorporate the non-Euclidean nature of the shape space. 1)Full Procrustes distance. 2)Partial Procrustes distance. 3)Procrustes distance. Full Procrustes Distance Procrustes Fit Full Procrustes Distance=Minimum Procrustes Fit. Other shape distances Partial procrustes distance Procrustes distance (ρ): distance on the Great circle. Tangent Space Linearization of spherical shape space around a particular pole. The Procrustes mean shape is usually chosen as the pole. If the shapes in the data are
