Body-worn cameras are now commonly used for logging daily life, sports, and law enforcement activities, creating a large volume of archived footage. This paper studies the problem of classifying frames of footage according to the activity of the camera-wearer with an emphasis on application to real-world police body-worn video. Real-world datasets pose a different set of challenges from existing egocentric vision datasets: the amount of footage of different activities is unbalanced, the data contains personally identifiable information, and in practice it is difficult to provide substantial training footage for a supervised approach. We address these challenges by extracting features based exclusively on motion information then segmenting the video footage using a semi-supervised classification algorithm. On publicly available datasets, our method achieves results comparable to, if not better than, supervised and/or deep learning methods using a fraction of the training data. It also shows promising results on real-world police body-worn video.

Training deep learning models on in-home IoT sensory data is commonly used to recognise human activities. Recently, federated learning systems that use edge devices as clients to support local human activity recognition have emerged as a new paradigm to combine local (individual-level) and global (group-level) models. This approach provides better scalability and generalisability and also offers better privacy compared with the traditional centralised analysis and learning models. The assumption behind federated learning, however, relies on supervised learning on clients. This requires a large volume of labelled data, which is difficult to collect in uncontrolled IoT environments such as remote in-home monitoring. In this paper, we propose an activity recognition system that uses semi-supervised federated learning, wherein clients conduct unsupervised learning on autoencoders with unlabelled local data to learn general representations, and a cloud server conducts supervised learning on an activity classifier with labelled data. Our experimental results show that using a long short-term memory autoencoder and a Softmax classifier, the accuracy of our proposed system is higher than that of both centralised systems and semi-supervised federated learning using data augmentation. The accuracy is also comparable to that of supervised federated learning systems. Meanwhile, we demonstrate that our system can reduce the number of needed labels and the size of local models, and has faster local activity recognition speed than supervised federated learning does.
Most segmentation methods in child brain MRI are supervised and are based on global intensity distributions of major brain structures. The successful implementation of a supervised approach depends on availability of an age-appropriate probabilistic brain atlas. For the study of early normal brain development, the construction of such a brain atlas remains a significant challenge. Moreover, using global intensity statistics leads to inaccurate detection of major brain tissue classes due to substantial intensity variations of MR signal within the constituent parts of early developing brain. In order to overcome these methodological limitations we develop a local, semi-supervised framework. It is based on Kernel Fisher Discriminant Analysis (KFDA) for pattern recognition, combined with an objective structural similarity index (SSIM) for perceptual image quality assessment. The proposed method performs optimal brain partitioning into subdomains having different average intensity values followed by SSIM-guided computation of separating surfaces between the constituent brain parts. The classified image subdomains are then stitched slice by slice via simulated annealing to form a global image of the classified brain. In this paper, we consider classification into major tissue classes (white matter and grey matter) and the cerebrospinal fluid and illustrate the proposed framework on examples of brain templates for ages 8 to 11 months and ages 44 to 60 months. We show that our method improves detection of the tissue classes by its comparison to state-of-the-art classification techniques known as Partial Volume Estimation.

Existing person re-identification (re-id) methods are stuck when deployed to a new unseen scenario despite the success in cross-camera person matching. Recent efforts have been substantially devoted to domain adaptive person re-id where extensive unl abeled data in the new scenario are utilized in a transductive learning manner. However, for each scenario, it is required to first collect enough data and then train such a domain adaptive re-id model, thus restricting their practical application. Instead, we aim to explore multiple labeled datasets to learn generalized domain-invariant representations for person re-id, which is expected universally effective for each new-coming re-id scenario. To pursue practicability in real-world systems, we collect all the person re-id datasets (20 datasets) in this field and select the three most frequently used datasets (i.e., Market1501, DukeMTMC, and MSMT17) as unseen target domains. In addition, we develop DataHunter that collects over 300K+ weak annotated images named YouTube-Human from YouTube street-view videos, which joins 17 remaining full labeled datasets to form multiple source domains. On such a large and challenging benchmark called FastHuman (~440K+ labeled images), we further propose a simple yet effective Semi-Supervised Knowledge Distillation (SSKD) framework. SSKD effectively exploits the weakly annotated data by assigning soft pseudo labels to YouTube-Human to improve models generalization ability. Experiments on several protocols verify the effectiveness of the proposed SSKD framework on domain generalizable person re-id, which is even comparable to supervised learning on the target domains. Lastly, but most importantly, we hope the proposed benchmark FastHuman could bring the next development of domain generalizable person re-id algorithms.
Person re-identification is the challenging task of identifying a person across different camera views. Training a convolutional neural network (CNN) for this task requires annotating a large dataset, and hence, it involves the time-consuming manual matching of people across cameras. To reduce the need for labeled data, we focus on a semi-supervised approach that requires only a subset of the training data to be labeled. We conduct a comprehensive survey in the area of person re-identification with limited labels. Existing works in this realm are limited in the sense that they utilize features from multiple CNNs and require the number of identities in the unlabeled data to be known. To overcome these limitations, we propose to employ part-based features from a single CNN without requiring the knowledge of the label space (i.e., the number of identities). This makes our approach more suitable for practical scenarios, and it significantly reduces the need for computational resources. We also propose a PartMixUp loss that improves the discriminative ability of learned part-based features for pseudo-labeling in semi-supervised settings. Our method outperforms the state-of-the-art results on three large-scale person re-id datasets and achieves the same level of performance as fully supervised methods with only one-third of labeled identities.
Video activity recognition by deep neural networks is impressive for many classes. However, it falls short of human performance, especially for challenging to discriminate activities. Humans differentiate these complex activities by recognising criti cal spatio-temporal relations among explicitly recognised objects and parts, for example, an object entering the aperture of a container. Deep neural networks can struggle to learn such critical relationships effectively. Therefore we propose a more human-like approach to activity recognition, which interprets a video in sequential temporal phases and extracts specific relationships among objects and hands in those phases. Random forest classifiers are learnt from these extracted relationships. We apply the method to a challenging subset of the something-something dataset and achieve a more robust performance against neural network baselines on challenging activities.
