Patterns Of Motion: Discovery And Generalized Representation, Imran Saleemi
Patterns Of Motion: Discovery And Generalized Representation, Imran Saleemi
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
In this dissertation, we address the problem of discovery and representation of motion patterns in a variety of scenarios, commonly encountered in vision applications. The overarching goal is to devise a generic representation, that captures any kind of object motion observable in video sequences. Such motion is a significant source of information typically employed for diverse applications such as tracking, anomaly detection, and action and event recognition. We present statistical frameworks for representation of motion characteristics of objects, learned from tracks or optical flow, for static as well as moving cameras, and propose algorithms for their application to a variety …
