FP7-ICT-2011-9 STREP proposal 18/01/12 v1 [Dynact] Work package description Work package number 5 Start date or starting event: Month 13 Work package title Integration and testing in different scenarios Activity type 16 RTD Participant number 1 4 5 Participant short name OBU SUP DYN Person-months per participant 30 6 30 Objectives The goal of this WP is the integration of the code produced by the parallel pipelines on video analysis and feature extraction, inference and classification of imprecise-probabilistic graphical models and dynamical discriminative models into a single comprehensive prototype for action and activity recognition. In addition, we intend to validate the resulting prototype in all the relevant scenarios we detected: gait identification, gaming and entertainment, video retrieval, robotics, surveillance and virtual reality. We will test our approach on all the publicly available datasets on action, activity and gait recognition, in addition to the proprietary test-beds gathered by the consortium in all modalities. Description of work Task 5.1 – Integration in a single prototype. The algorithms for imprecise model parameter identification from partial data, inference on imprecise graphical models, discriminative modelling and feature extraction in multiple modalities are assembled in a coherent prototype. This is validated in multiple scenarios, and the results are fed back to WPs 1-4. Task 5.2 – Validation in the gait identification scenario. The developed prototype is validated in the gait identification scenarios: the onus is on the presence of multiple covariate factors and monocular views. Task 5.3 – Validation in the gaming scenario. In the gaming/console scenario, we plan to test our prototype on the data gathered by the consortium, and OBU in particular, with a focus on range/depth data and indoor scenarios, in which rough 3D silhouettes of the moving actors can be easily extracted. Task 5.4 – Validation in the video retrieval scenario. In order to retrieve videos from a short description of their content, plots have to be automatically generated. A programme has to be able to tell apart and retrieve footages whose description is different from others in sophisticated, subtle ways. Task 5.5 – Validation in the robotics/navigation scenario. In the robotics scenario, autonomous vehicles needs to recognize what people around them are doing in order to prevent accidents, and are augmented with the capability of interacting with humans via gestures. Illumination/viewpoint factors are relevant. Task 5.6 – Validation in the animation/facial expression scenario. We plan to integrate the information coming from range cameras in a 2.5D Active Appearance Model to track face features in real time, and to extract a manifold of facial expressions, called “Expressive Space” tuned to the person we analyze. Deliverables D5.1 A first prototype of the overall action and activity localization and recognition framework (month 12). D5.2 A scientific report in which the results in terms of classification/localization performances in all the available datasets and all scenarios are thoroughly described (month 24). D5.3 Final prototype of the overall action and activity localization and recognition framework (month 36). D5.4 A scientific report in which the results in terms of classification/localization performances in all the available datasets and all scenarios are thoroughly described (month 36). 16 Please indicate one activity per work package: RTD = Research and technological development; DEM = Demonstration; MGT = Management of the consortium. <strong>Proposal</strong> Part B: page [32] of [67]
FP7-ICT-2011-9 STREP proposal 18/01/12 v1 [Dynact] Work package description Work package number 6 Start date or starting event: Month 1 Work package title Management and dissemination Activity type17 MGT Participant number 1 Participant short name OBU Person-months per participant 13 Objectives The aims of this WP are the overall consortium management, both financially and in terms of coordination activities, and the dissemination of the results of the project at academic, industrial, and government level. Description of work The work is articulated into the following tasks: Task 6.1 – Coordination. This comprises the organisation of a kick off meeting with clear instructions on administrative and financial responsibilities of partners, reporting formats and time-tables, preparation of annual progress reports and final reporting to the EC, including financial statements and audit certificates. More details are given in Section 2. Task 6.2 – Dissemination. This involves the spreading of the results and development of the project by means of targeted seminars, special sessions in major international conferences, special issues, grand challenges, media press conferences, personal engagement of intermediate bodies, agencies, and the government, exploitation of the consortium's networks of contacts to prepare the ground for follow up projects at national and European level. More details are given in Section 3. Deliverables D6.1 Web site dedicated to the project, with a public version open to the public/academic community, and an intranet version to allow an efficient exchange of ideas and resources between the partners (month 6). D6.2 Intermediate report to the EU (month 18). D6.3 Special session(s) on the project organized at major international conferences in imprecise probabilities, computer vision and artificial intelligence (month 24). D6.4 Special issue(s) on the project organized for major international journals in imprecise probabilities, computer vision and artificial intelligence (month 24). D6.5 Final report to the EU (month 36). 17 Please indicate one activity per work package: RTD = Research and technological development; DEM = Demonstration; MGT = Management of the consortium. <strong>Proposal</strong> Part B: page [33] of [67]
