Estimation of human orientation contributes to improving the accuracy of human behavior recognition. However,
estimation of human orientation is a challenging task because of the variable appearance of the human
body. The wide variety of poses, sizes and clothes combined with a complicated background degrades the
estimation accuracy. Therefore, we propose a method for estimating human orientation using coaxial RGBDepth
images. This paper proposes Depth Weighted Histogram of Oriented Gradients (DWHOG) feature
calculated from RGB and depth images. By using a depth image, the outline of a human body and the texture
of a background can be easily distinguished. In the proposed method, a region having a large depth gradient
is given a large weight. Therefore, features at the outline of the human body are enhanced, allowing robust
estimation even with complex backgrounds. In order to combine RGB and depth images, we utilize a newly
available single-chip RGB-ToF camera, which can capture both RGB and depth images taken along the same
optical axis. We experimentally confirmed that the proposed method can estimate human orientation robustly
to complex backgrounds, compared to a method using conventional HOG features.

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (international conference proceedings)

This paper presents a Twitter-based event detection method based on Twitter Enthusiasm Degrees (TED)" toward generating a highlight video of a sports game. Existing methods not only depend on both languages and sports types but also often falsely detect non-target events. In contrast, the proposed method detects sports events using TEDs calculated from several kinds of string features independent of languages and sports. We applied the proposed method to actual sports games, and compared the detected events with the events present in broadcasted highlight videos, and confirmed the effectiveness and the language and sports type independencies of the proposed method."

Proceedings of Computer Vision in Vehicle Technology with Special Session on Micro Aerial Vehicles (CVVT2014) 2014.9

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (international conference proceedings)

Accurate vehicle positioning is important not only for in-car navigation systems but is also a requirement for emerging autonomous driving methods. Consumer level GPS are inaccurate in a number of driving environments such as in tunnels or areas where tall buildings cause satellite shadowing. Current vision-based methods typically rely on the integration of multiple sensors or fundamental matrix calculation which can be unstable when the baseline is small.

In this paper we present a novel visual localization method which uses a visual street map and extracted SURF image features. By monitoring the difference in scale of features matched between input images and the visual street map within a Dynamic Time Warping framework, stable localization in the direction of motion is achieved without calculation of the fundamental or essential matrices.

We present the system performance in real traffic environments. By comparing localization results with a high accuracy GPS ground truth, we demonstrate that accurate vehicle positioning is achieved.

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (international conference proceedings)

Crowd analysis using cameras has attracted much attention for public safety and marketing. Among techniques of the crowd analysis, we focus on spatial people density estimation which estimates the number of people for each small area in a floor region. However, spatial people density cannot be estimated accurately for an area far from the camera because of the occlusion by people in a closer area. Therefore, we propose a method using a memory based regression method with images captured from cameras from multiple viewpoints. This method is realized by looking up a table that consists of correspondences between people density maps and crowd appearances. Since the crowd appearances include situations where various occlusions occur, an estimation robust to occlusion should be realized. In an experiment, we examined the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Single Camera Vehicle Localization Using SURF Scale and Dynamic Time Warping Reviewed

Proceedings of 2014 the IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium (IV2014) page： 681 - 686 2014.6

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (international conference proceedings)

Vehicle ego-localization is an essential process for many driver assistance and autonomous driving systems. The traditional solution of GPS localization is often unreliable in urban environments where tall buildings can cause shadowing of the satellite signal and multipath propagation. Typical visual feature based localization methods rely on calculation of the fundamental matrix which can be unstable when the baseline is small.
In this paper we propose a novel method which uses the scale of matched SURF image features and Dynamic Time Warping to perform stable localization. By comparing SURF feature scales between input images and a pre-constructed database, stable localization is achieved without the need to calculate the fundamental matrix. In addition, 3D information is added to the database feature points in order to perform lateral localization, and therefore lane recognition.
From experimental data captured from real traffic environments, we show how the proposed system can provide high localization accuracy relative to an image database, and can also perform lateral localization to recognize the vehicle's current lane.

Estimation of Traffic Sign Visibility Considering Local and Global Features in a Driving Environment Reviewed

Keisuke Doman, Daisuke Deguchi, Tomokazu Takahashi, Yoshito Mekada, Ichiro Ide, Hiroshi Murase, Utsushi Sakai

Proceedings of 2014 IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium (IV2014) page： 202 - 207 2014.6

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (international conference proceedings)

This paper proposes a camera-based visibility estimation method for a traffic sign.
The visibility here indicates how a visual target is easy to be detected and recognized by a human driver (not a machine).
This research aims at realizing a nuisance-free driver assistance system which sorts out information depending on the visibility of a visual target, in order to prevent driver distraction.
Our previous study on estimating the visibility of a traffic sign considered only the effect of the local region around a target, assuming the situation that a driver's gaze is around it.
The proposed method integrates both the local features and global features in a driving environment without such an assumption.
The global features evaluate the positional relationships between traffic signs and the appearance around the fixation point of a driver's gaze, which considers the effect of the driver's entire field of view.
Experimental results showed the effectiveness of incorporating the global features for estimating the visibility of a traffic sign.

Estimation of the Representative Story Transition in a Chronological Semantic Structure of News Topics Reviewed

Kosuke Kato, Ichiro Ide, Daisuke Deguchi, Hiroshi Murase

Proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Multimedia Retrieval (ICMR2014) page： 487 - 491 2014.4

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (international conference proceedings)

It is important to track the flow of topics to thoroughly understand the contents. Accordingly, a method that structures the chronological semantic relations between news stories, namely a 'topic thread structure' has been proposed.It allows the comprehensive understanding of a topic by chronologically tracking stories one by one from the initial story. However, this task imposes a user to watch many stories when it contains various sub-topics. Thus, we propose method that estimates the representative story transition in a topic thread structure. In the proposed method, features obtained from a story and those from the topic thread structure are used for the estimation. We confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed method by comparing the results obtained from the proposed method to the ground truth obtained from votes in a subjective experiment.

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (international conference proceedings)

This paper discusses a novel sensing strategy to retrieve real-world information. Instead of using sensor devices such as cameras, microphones and so on, the proposed approach involves people in real-world sensing to acquire requested information as accurately and quickly as possible. We call the proposed sensing strategy as Human Cloud Sensing (HCS)". In this paper, we introduce the concept of HCS and report some experimental results which were conducted to investigate the feasibility of "Can a human be a sensor?"."

Environment adaptive pedestrian detection using in-vehicle camera and GPS Reviewed

Daichi Suzuo, Daisuke Deguchi, Ichiro Ide, Hiroshi Murase, Hiroyuki Ishida, Yoshiko Kojima

Proceedings of the International Conference on Computer Vision Theory and Applications (VISAPP) 2014 page： 354 - 361 2014.1

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (international conference proceedings)

In recent years, accurate pedestrian detection from in-vehicle camera images is focused to develop a safety driving assistance system. Currently, successful methods are based on statistical learning. However, in such methods, it is necessary to prepare a large amount of training images. Thus, the decrease in the number of training images degrades the detection accuracy. That is, in driving environments with few or no training images, it is difficult to detect pedestrians accurately. Therefore, we propose an approach that collects training images automatically to build classifiers for various driving environments. This is expected to realize highly accurate pedestrian detection by using an appropriate classifier corresponding to the current location. The proposed method consists of three steps; Classification of driving scenes, collection of non-pedestrian images and training of classifiers for each scene class, and associating a scene-class-specific classifier with GPS location information. Through experiments, we confirmed the effectiveness of the method compared to baseline methods.

Exemplar-Based Human Body Super-Resolution for Surveillance Camera Systems Reviewed

Kento Nishibori, Tomokazu Takahashi, Daisuke Deguchi, Ichiro Ide, Hiroshi Murase

Proceedings of the International Conference on Computer Vision Theory and Applications (VISAPP) 2014 page： 115 - 121 2014.1

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (international conference proceedings)

In this paper, we propose an exemplar-based super-resolution method applied to a human body in a surveillance video. Since persons are usually captured as low-resolution images by a video surveillance system, it is sometimes necessary to perform detection and identification of persons from not only a human face but also from the human body appearance. The super-resolution for a human body image is difficult because the appearances of person images vary according to the color of clothing and the posture of persons. Thus, we focus on the high-frequency components that could restore the lost high-frequency components of the low-resolution image regardless to the variation of the clothing. Therefore, the purpose of the work presented in this paper is to apply the exemplar-based super-resolution using high-frequency components for a low-resolution human body image to generate a high-resolution human body image so that both computer systems and humans can identify persons more accurately. As a result of experiments, we confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed super-resolution method.

In recent years, advances in pedestrian detection technology have resulted in the development of driving assistance systems that notify the drivers of the presence of pedestrians. However, warning of all of the presence of pedestrians would confuse the driver. Therefore, the driver should only be notified of the less detectable pedestrians to avoid confusion. To achieve this, it is necessary to develop a method to predict the driver’s perception performance of pedestrian detectability. This paper proposes a method that predicts the pedestrian detectability considering the difference between individual drivers. The proposed method constructs a predictor specific to each driver, in order to predict the pedestrian detectability precisely. To obtain the ground truth of the pedestrian detectability, we conducted an experiment by human subjects using images from an in-vehicle camera including pedestrians. From the comparison between the output of the proposed method and the actual detectability, we confirmed that the proposed method significantly reduces the prediction error in comparison with the existing methods.

Hidefumi Yoshida, Daichi Suzuo, Daisuke Deguchi, Ichiro Ide, Hiroshi Murase, Takashi Machida, Yoshiko Kojima

Proceedings of 2013 IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium (IV2013) page： 654 - 659 2013.6

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (international conference proceedings)

Recently, pedestrian detection from in-vehicle camera images is becoming an crucial technology for Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). However, it is difficult to detect pedestrians accurately in various scenes by obtaining training samples. To tackle this problem, we propose a method to construct scene dependent classifiers to improve the accuracy of pedestrian detection. The proposed method selects an appropriate classifier based on the scene information that is a category of appearance associated with location information. To construct scene dependent classifiers, the proposed method introduces generative learning for synthesizing scene dependent training samples. Experimental results showed that the detection accuracy of the proposed method outperformed the comparative method, and we confirmed that scene dependent classifiers improved the accuracy of pedestrian detection.
