Gait recognition has proven to be effective for long-distance human recognition. But view variance of gait features would change human appearance greatly and reduce its performance. Most existing gait datasets usually collect data with a dozen different angles, or even more few. Limited view angles would prevent learning better view invariant feature. It can further improve robustness of gait recognition if we collect data with various angles at 1 degree interval. But it is time consuming and labor consuming to collect this kind of dataset. In this paper, we, therefore, introduce a Dense-View GEIs Set (DV-GEIs) to deal with the challenge of limited view angles. This set can cover the whole view space, view angle from 0 degree to 180 degree with 1 degree interval. In addition, Dense-View GAN (DV-GAN) is proposed to synthesize this dense view set. DV-GAN consists of Generator, Discriminator and Monitor, where Monitor is designed to preserve human identification and view information. The proposed method is evaluated on the CASIA-B and OU-ISIR dataset. The experimental results show that DV-GEIs synthesized by DV-GAN is an effective way to learn better view invariant feature. We believe the idea of dense view generated samples will further improve the development of gait recognition.

Gait is a unique biometric feature that can be recognized at a distance; thus, it has broad applications in crime prevention, forensic identification, and social security. To portray a gait, existing gait recognition methods utilize either a gait tem plate which makes it difficult to preserve temporal information, or a gait sequence that maintains unnecessary sequential constraints and thus loses the flexibility of gait recognition. In this paper, we present a novel perspective that utilizes gait as a deep set, which means that a set of gait frames are integrated by a global-local fused deep network inspired by the way our left- and right-hemisphere processes information to learn information that can be used in identification. Based on this deep set perspective, our method is immune to frame permutations, and can naturally integrate frames from different videos that have been acquired under different scenarios, such as diverse viewing angles, different clothes, or different item-carrying conditions. Experiments show that under normal walking conditions, our single-model method achieves an average rank-1 accuracy of 96.1% on the CASIA-B gait dataset and an accuracy of 87.9% on the OU-MVLP gait dataset. Under various complex scenarios, our model also exhibits a high level of robustness. It achieves accuracies of 90.8% and 70.3% on CASIA-B under bag-carrying and coat-wearing walking conditions respectively, significantly outperforming the best existing methods. Moreover, the proposed method maintains a satisfactory accuracy even when only small numbers of frames are available in the test samples; for example, it achieves 85.0% on CASIA-B even when using only 7 frames.

Streetscapes are an important part of the urban landscape, analysing and studying them can increase the understanding of the cities infrastructure, which can lead to better planning and design of the urban living environment. In this paper, we used G oogle API to obtain street view images of Osaka City. The semantic segmentation model PSPNet is used to segment the Osaka City street view images and analyse the Green View Index (GVI) data of Osaka area. Based on the GVI data, three methods, namely corridor analysis, geometric network and a combination of them, were then used to calculate the optimal GVI paths in Osaka City. The corridor analysis and geometric network methods allow for a more detailed delineation of the optimal GVI path from general areas to specific routes. Our analysis not only allows for the calculation of specific routes for the optimal GVI paths, but also allows for the visualisation and integration of neighbourhood landscape data. By summarising all the data, a more specific and objective analysis of the landscape in the study area can be carried out and based on this, the available natural resources can be maximised for a better life.
At the heart of all automated driving systems is the ability to sense the surroundings, e.g., through semantic segmentation of LiDAR sequences, which experienced a remarkable progress due to the release of large datasets such as SemanticKITTI and nuS cenes-LidarSeg. While most previous works focus on sparse segmentation of the LiDAR input, dense output masks provide self-driving cars with almost complete environment information. In this paper, we introduce MASS - a Multi-Attentional Semantic Segmentation model specifically built for dense top-view understanding of the driving scenes. Our framework operates on pillar- and occupancy features and comprises three attention-based building blocks: (1) a keypoint-driven graph attention, (2) an LSTM-based attention computed from a vector embedding of the spatial input, and (3) a pillar-based attention, resulting in a dense 360-degree segmentation mask. With extensive experiments on both, SemanticKITTI and nuScenes-LidarSeg, we quantitatively demonstrate the effectiveness of our model, outperforming the state of the art by 19.0% on SemanticKITTI and reaching 32.7% in mIoU on nuScenes-LidarSeg, where MASS is the first work addressing the dense segmentation task. Furthermore, our multi-attention model is shown to be very effective for 3D object detection validated on the KITTI-3D dataset, showcasing its high generalizability to other tasks related to 3D vision.
Accurate estimation of three-dimensional human skeletons from depth images can provide important metrics for healthcare applications, especially for biomechanical gait analysis. However, there exist inherent problems associated with depth images capt ured from a single view. The collected data is greatly affected by occlusions where only partial surface data can be recorded. Furthermore, depth images of human body exhibit heterogeneous characteristics with viewpoint changes, and the estimated poses under local coordinate systems are expected to go through equivariant rotations. Most existing pose estimation models are sensitive to both issues. To address this, we propose a novel approach for cross-view generalization with an occlusion-invariant semi-supervised learning framework built upon a novel rotation-equivariant backbone. Our model was trained with real-world data from a single view and unlabelled synthetic data from multiple views. It can generalize well on the real-world data from all the other unseen views. Our approach has shown superior performance on gait analysis on our ICL-Gait dataset compared to other state-of-the-arts and it can produce more convincing keypoints on ITOP dataset, than its provided ground truth.

Recognizing places using Lidar in large-scale environments is challenging due to the sparse nature of point cloud data. In this paper we present BVMatch, a Lidar-based frame-to-frame place recognition framework, that is capable of estimating 2D relat ive poses. Based on the assumption that the ground area can be approximated as a plane, we uniformly discretize the ground area into grids and project 3D Lidar scans to birds-eye view (BV) images. We further use a bank of Log-Gabor filters to build a maximum index map (MIM) that encodes the orientation information of the structures in the images. We analyze the orientation characteristics of MIM theoretically and introduce a novel descriptor called birds-eye view feature transform (BVFT). The proposed BVFT is insensitive to rotation and intensity variations of BV images. Leveraging the BVFT descriptors, we unify the Lidar place recognition and pose estimation tasks into the BVMatch framework. The experiments conducted on three large-scale datasets show that BVMatch outperforms the state-of-the-art methods in terms of both recall rate of place recognition and pose estimation accuracy.
