Investigating Depth Domain Adaptation for Efficient Human Pose Estimation

Jean-Marc Odobez, Michael Villamizar, Olivier Canévet

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) are the leading models for human body landmark detection from RGB vision data. However, as such models require high computational load, an alternative is to rely on depth images which, due to their more simple nature, ca ...

A Sequential Topic Model for Mining Recurrent Activities from Long Term Video Logs

Jean-Marc Odobez, Jagannadan Varadarajan

This paper introduces a novel probabilistic activity modeling approach that mines recurrent sequential patterns called motifs from documents given as word×time count matrices (e.g., videos). In this model, documents are represented as a mixture of sequenti ...

Video Text Recognition using Sequential Monte Carlo and Error Voting Methods

Jean-Marc Odobez, Datong Chen

This paper addresses the issue of segmentation and recognition of text embedded in video sequences from their associated text image sequence extracted by a text detection module. To this end, we propose a probabilistic algorithm based on Bayesian adaptive ...

Recognizing Human Visual Focus of Attention from Head Pose in Meetings

Jean-Marc Odobez, Silèye Oumar Ba

We address the problem of recognizing the visual focus of attention (VFOA) of meeting participants based on their head pose. To this end, the head pose observations are modeled using a Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) or a Hidden Markov Model (HMM) whose hidde ...

Gaze Estimation in the 3D Space Using RGB-D Sensors

Jean-Marc Odobez, Kenneth Alberto Funes Mora

We address the problem of 3D gaze estimation within a 3D environment from remote sensors, which is highly valuable for applications in human-human and human-robot interactions. To the contrary of most previous works, which are limited to screen gazing appl ...

Fast human detection from joint appearance and foreground feature subset covariances

Jean-Marc Odobez

We present a fast method to detect humans from stationary surveillance videos. It is based on a cascade of LogitBoost classifiers which use covariance matrices as object descriptors. We have made several contributions. First, our method learns the correlat ...

Audio-visual probabilistic tracking of multiple speakers in meetings

Daniel Gatica-Perez, Jean-Marc Odobez, Guillaume Lathoud

Tracking speakers in multiparty conversations constitutes a fundamental task for automatic meeting analysis. In this paper, we present a probabilistic approach to jointly track the location and speaking activity of multiple speakers in a multisensor meetin ...

Visual Focus of Attention Estimation in 3D Scene with an Arbitrary Number of Targets

Jean-Marc Odobez, Rémy Alain Siegfried

Visual Focus of Attention (VFOA) estimation in conversation is challenging as it relies on difficult to estimate information (gaze) combined with scene features like target positions and other contextual information (speaking status) allowing to disambigua ...

Robust Unsupervised Gaze Calibration Using Conversation and Manipulation Attention Priors

Jean-Marc Odobez, Rémy Alain Siegfried

Gaze estimation is a difficult task, even for humans. However, as humans, we are good at understanding a situation and exploiting it to guess the expected visual focus of attention of people, and we usually use this information to retrieve people's gaze. I ...

A Track Creation and Deletion Framework for Long-Term Online Multi-Face Tracking

Jean-Marc Odobez

To improve visual tracking, a large number of papers study more powerful features, or better cue fusion mechanisms, such as adaptation or contextual models. A complementary approach consists of improving the track management, that is, deciding when to add ...
