Comparing RGB-D Sensors for Close Range Outdoor Agricultural Phenotyping
摘要： Phenotyping is the task of measuring plant attributes for analyzing the current state of the plant. In agriculture, phenotyping can be used to make decisions concerning the management of crops, such as the watering policy, or whether to spray for a certain pest. Currently, large scale phenotyping in fields is typically done using manual labor, which is a costly, low throughput process. Researchers often advocate the use of automated systems for phenotyping, relying on the use of sensors for making measurements. The recent rise of low cost, yet reasonably accurate, RGB-D sensors has opened the way for using these sensors in field phenotyping applications. In this paper, we investigate the applicability of four different RGB-D sensors for this task. We conduct an outdoor experiment, measuring plant attribute in various distances and light conditions. Our results show that modern RGB-D sensors, in particular, the Intel D435 sensor, provides a viable tool for close range phenotyping tasks in fields.

Multispectral imaging: Monitoring vulnerable people
摘要： This paper describes the development of a new healthcare monitoring system for vulnerable people which uses a visible image sensor and passive infrared sensors, in an unconventional manner, to monitor daily living activities. It based on a novel method, using chromatic methodology, to process spatially and temporally the incoming multispectral data from the visible and infrared parts of the spectrum, to overcome the impact of noisy environments, illumination changes and a dynamic background. An efficient chromatic descriptor is suggested to improve activity recognition of vulnerable people. The new monitoring system is robust to distortions associated with healthcare systems and its descriptor has an improved quality of description. System performance was evaluated using a series of experimental data, the results showing the efficacy of using both spatial and temporal domains of multispectral data to deal with events that disturb monitoring systems. The chromatic descriptor achieved a better performance in comparison to traditional methods when describing daily living activities.

摘要： Motion capture is an important technique with a wide range of applications in areas such as computer vision, computer animation, ?lm production, and medical rehabilita- tion. Even with the professional motion capture systems, the acquired raw data mostly contain inevitable noises and outliers. To denoise the data, numerous methods have been developed, while this problem still remains a challenge due to the high com- plexity of human motion and the diversity of real-life situations. In this paper, we propose a data-driven-based robust human motion denoising approach by mining the spatial-temporal pat- terns and the structural sparsity embedded in motion data. We ?rst replace the regularly used entire pose model with a much ?ne-grained partlet model as feature representation to exploit the abundant local body part posture and movement similari- ties. Then, a robust dictionary learning algorithm is proposed to learn multiple compact and representative motion dictionaries from the training data in parallel. Finally, we reformulate the human motion denoising problem as a robust structured sparse coding problem in which both the noise distribution informa- tion and the temporal smoothness property of human motion have been jointly taken into account. Compared with several state-of-the-art motion denoising methods on both the synthetic and real noisy motion data, our method consistently yields better performance than its counterparts. The outputs of our approach are much more stable than that of the others. In addition, it is much easier to setup the training dataset of our method than that of the other data-driven-based methods.

摘要： With the emergence of the Microsoft Kinect sensor, many developer communities and research groups have found countless uses and have already published a wide variety of papers that utilize the raw depth images for their specific goals. New methods and applications that use the device generally require an appropriately large ensemble of data sets with accompanying ground truth for testing purposes, as well as accurate models that account for the various systematic and stochastic contributors to Kinect errors. Current error models, however, overlook the intermediate infrared (IR) images that directly contribute to noisy depth estimates. We, therefore, propose a high fidelity Kinect IR and depth image predictor and simulator that models the physics of the transmitter/receiver system, unique IR dot pattern, disparity/depth processing technology, and random intensity speckle and IR noise in the detectors. The model accounts for important characteristics of Kinect’s stereo triangulation system, including depth shadowing, IR dot splitting, spreading, and occlusions, correlation-based disparity estimation between windows of measured and reference IR images, and subpixel refinement. Results show that the simulator accurately produces axial depth error from imaged flat surfaces with various tilt angles, as well as the bias and standard lateral error of an object’s horizontal and vertical edge.

DEVELOPMENT OF A MOTION CAPTURE SYSTEM USING KINECT
摘要： Microsoft Kinect has been identified as a potential alternative tool in the field of motion capture due to its simplicity and low cost. To date, the application and potential of Microsoft Kinect has been vigorously explored especially for entertainment and gaming purposes. However, its motion capture capability in terms of repeatability and reproducibility is still not well addressed. Therefore, this study aims to explore and develop a motion capture system using Microsoft Kinect; focusing on developing the interface, motion capture protocol as well as measurement analysis. The work is divided into several stages which include installation (Microsoft Kinect and MATLAB); parameters and experimental setup, interface development; protocols development; motion capture; data tracking and measurement analysis. The results are promising, where the variances are found to be less than 1% for both repeatability and reproducibility analysis. This proves that the current study is significant and the gained knowledge could contribute to enhancing the capability of Microsoft Kinect as a motion capture system.
