Human Detection With Contour-Based Local Motion Binary Patterns, Duc Thanh Nguyen, Philip Ogunbona, Wanqing Li
Professor Philip Ogunbona
This paper presents a human detection method using contour- based local motion features. The local motion is encoded using a variant of the popular Local Binary Pattern (LBP) called Non-Redundant Local Binary Pattern (NRLBP) descriptor computed on the difference image of two consecutive frames. In addition, the local motion features are extracted along the human's boundary contour. Localising features on the contours has the advantage of utilizing a precise human shape description. A motivation of the proposed method is that most of informative movements are performed on boundary contours of the body parts, e.g. legs of pedestrians. Evaluation of the …

Human Motion Simulation And Action Corpus, Gang Zheng, Wanqing Li, Philip Ogunbona, Liju Dong, Igor Kharitonenko
Professor Philip Ogunbona
Acquisition of large scale good quality training samples is becoming a major issue in machine learning based human motion analysis. This paper presents a method to simulate continuous gross human body motion with the intention to establish a human motion corpus for learning and recognition. The simulation is achieved by a temporal-spatialtemporal decomposition of human motion into actions, joint actions and actionlets based on the human kinematic model. The actionlet models the primitive moving phase of a joint and represents the muscle movement governed by kinesiological principles. Joint actions and body actions are constructed from actionlets through constrained concatenation and …
