Recognizing human actions: A local SVM approach

by Christian Schüldt, Ivan Laptev, Barbara Caputo - In ICPR , 2004
"... Local space-time features capture local events in video and can be adapted to the size, the frequency and the velocity of moving patterns. In this paper we demonstrate how such features can be used for recognizing complex motion patterns. We construct video representations in terms of local space-ti ..."

Incorporating non-local information into information extraction systems by Gibbs sampling

by Jenny Rose Finkel, Trond Grenager, Christopher Manning - IN ACL , 2005
"... Most current statistical natural language processing models use only local features so as to permit dynamic programming in inference, but this makes them unable to fully account for the long distance structure that is prevalent in language use. We show how to solve this dilemma with Gibbs sampling, ..."

Range-Free Localization Schemes for Large Scale Sensor Networks

by Tian He, Chengdu Huang, Brain M. Blum, John A. Stankovic, Tarek Abdelzaher , 2003
"... Wireless Sensor Networks have been proposed for a multitude of location-dependent applications. For such systems, the cost and limitations of hardware on sensing nodes prevent the use of range-based localization schemes that depend on absolute point-to-point distance estimates. Because coarse accura ..."

performs best when an irregular radio pattern and random node placement are considered, and low communication overhead is desired. We compare our work via extensive simulation, with three state-of-the-art range-free localization schemes to identify the preferable system configurations of each. In addition

Local features and kernels for classification of texture and object categories: a comprehensive study

by J. Zhang, S. Lazebnik, C. Schmid - International Journal of Computer Vision , 2007
"... Recently, methods based on local image features have shown promise for texture and object recognition tasks. This paper presents a large-scale evaluation of an approach that represents images as distributions (signatures or histograms) of features extracted from a sparse set of keypoint locations an ..."

Space-time Interest Points

by Ivan Laptev, Tony Lindeberg - IN ICCV , 2003
"... Local image features or interest points provide compact and abstract representations of patterns in an image. In this paper, we propose to extend the notion of spatial interest points into the spatio-temporal domain and show how the resulting features often reflect interesting events that can be use ..."

A Security Architecture for Computational Grids

by Ian Foster , Carl Kesselman, Gene Tsudik, Steven Tuecke , 1998
"... State-of-the-art and emerging scientific applications require fast access to large quantities of data and commensurately fast computational resources. Both resources and data are often distributed in a wide-area network with components administered locally and independently. Computations may involve ..."

Beyond bags of features: Spatial pyramid matching for recognizing natural scene categories

by Cordelia Schmid - In CVPR
"... This paper presents a method for recognizing scene categories based on approximate global geometric correspondence. This technique works by partitioning the image into increasingly fine sub-regions and computing histograms of local features found inside each sub-region. The resulting “spatial pyrami ..."

Learning realistic human actions from movies

by Ivan Laptev, Marcin Marszałek, Cordelia Schmid, Benjamin Rozenfeld - IN: CVPR. , 2008
"... The aim of this paper is to address recognition of natural human actions in diverse and realistic video settings. This challenging but important subject has mostly been ignored in the past due to several problems one of which is the lack of realistic and annotated video datasets. Our first contribut ..."

next turn to the problem of action classification in video. We present a new method for video classification that builds upon and extends several recent ideas including local space-time features, space-time pyramids and multichannel non-linear SVMs. The method is shown to improve state-of-the-art

Real-time human pose recognition in parts from single depth images

by Jamie Shotton, Andrew Fitzgibbon, Mat Cook, Toby Sharp, Mark Finocchio, Richard Moore, Alex Kipman, Andrew Blake - IN CVPR , 2011
"... We propose a new method to quickly and accurately predict 3D positions of body joints from a single depth image, using no temporal information. We take an object recognition approach, designing an intermediate body parts representation that maps the difficult pose estimation problem into a simpler p ..."
