Abstract. Robust automatic workflow monitoring using visual sensors in industrial environments is still an unsolved problem. This is mainly due to the difficulties of recording data in work settings and the environmental conditions (large occlusions, similar background/foreground) which do not allow object detection/tracking algorithms to perform robustly. Hence approaches analysing trajectories are limited in such environments. However, workflow monitoring is especially needed due to quality and safety requirements. In this paper we propose a robust approach for workflow classification in industrial environments. The proposed approach consists of a robust scene descriptor and an efficient time series analysis method. Experimental results on a challenging car manufacturing dataset showed that the proposed scene descriptor is able to detect both human and machinery related motion robustly and the used time series analysis method can classify tasks in a given workflow automatically.
Abstract. This paper deals with a problem of recognition by gait when time-dependent covariates are added, i.e. when 6 months have passed between recording of the gallery and the probe sets. We show how recognition rates fall significantly when data is captured between lengthy time intevals, for static and dynamic gait features. Under the assumption that it is possible to have some subjects from the probe for training and that similar subjects have similar changes in gait over time, a predictive model of changes in gait is suggested in this paper, which can improve the recognition capability. A small number of subjects were used for training and a much large number for classification and the probe contains the covariate data for a smaller number of subjects. Our new predictive model derives high recognition rates for different features which is a considerable improvement on recognition capability without this new approach.
