“suppose,supposing 引导条件状语从句时,仅用于问句”欠妥

贵刊1995年第12期 p.30《怎样理解这三个句子》一文,读后颇受启发。但该文有一处注释写道:“suppose,supposing 引导条件状语从句时,仅用于问句。”笔者认为,这一说法欠妥。请看以下例证:Suppose white were black,you might be right.假如白的即是黑的,那末你或许就对了。(《英汉大词典》下卷 p.3490)Suppose(Supposing)you miss your tiger,he is not likely to miss you.你如果打不着老虎,老虎不见得吃不着你。(《英华大词典》修订第二版 p.1399)

Construction Activity Analysis of Workers Based on Human Posture Estimation Information

Identifying workers’construction activities or behaviors can enable managers to better monitor labor efficiency and construction progress.However,current activity analysis methods for construction workers rely solely on manual observations and recordings,which consumes considerable time and has high labor costs.Researchers have focused on monitoring on-site construction activities of workers.However,when multiple workers are working together,current research cannot accu rately and automatically identify the construction activity.This research proposes a deep learning framework for the automated analysis of the construction activities of multiple workers.In this framework,multiple deep neural network models are designed and used to complete worker key point extraction,worker tracking,and worker construction activity analysis.The designed framework was tested at an actual construction site,and activity recognition for multiple workers was performed,indicating the feasibility of the framework for the automated monitoring of work efficiency.

Lightweight Multi-Resolution Network for Human Pose Estimation

Human pose estimation aims to localize the body joints from image or video data.With the development of deeplearning,pose estimation has become a hot research topic in the field of computer vision.In recent years,humanpose estimation has achieved great success in multiple fields such as animation and sports.However,to obtainaccurate positioning results,existing methods may suffer from large model sizes,a high number of parameters,and increased complexity,leading to high computing costs.In this paper,we propose a new lightweight featureencoder to construct a high-resolution network that reduces the number of parameters and lowers the computingcost.We also introduced a semantic enhancement module that improves global feature extraction and networkperformance by combining channel and spatial dimensions.Furthermore,we propose a dense connected spatialpyramid pooling module to compensate for the decrease in image resolution and information loss in the network.Finally,ourmethod effectively reduces the number of parameters and complexitywhile ensuring high performance.Extensive experiments show that our method achieves a competitive performance while dramatically reducing thenumber of parameters,and operational complexity.Specifically,our method can obtain 89.9%AP score on MPIIVAL,while the number of parameters and the complexity of operations were reduced by 41%and 36%,respectively.

Investigation of Inside-Out Tracking Methods for Six Degrees of Freedom Pose Estimation of a Smartphone in Augmented Reality

Six degrees of freedom(6DoF)input interfaces are essential formanipulating virtual objects through translation or rotation in three-dimensional(3D)space.A traditional outside-in tracking controller requires the installation of expensive hardware in advance.While inside-out tracking controllers have been proposed,they often suffer from limitations such as interaction limited to the tracking range of the sensor(e.g.,a sensor on the head-mounted display(HMD))or the need for pose value modification to function as an input interface(e.g.,a sensor on the controller).This study investigates 6DoF pose estimation methods without restricting the tracking range,using a smartphone as a controller in augmented reality(AR)environments.Our approach involves proposing methods for estimating the initial pose of the controller and correcting the pose using an inside-out tracking approach.In addition,seven pose estimation algorithms were presented as candidates depending on the tracking range of the device sensor,the tracking method(e.g.,marker recognition,visual-inertial odometry(VIO)),and whether modification of the initial pose is necessary.Through two experiments(discrete and continuous data),the performance of the algorithms was evaluated.The results demonstrate enhanced final pose accuracy achieved by correcting the initial pose.Furthermore,the importance of selecting the tracking algorithm based on the tracking range of the devices and the actual input value of the 3D interaction was emphasized.

Design of a Lightweight Compressed Video Stream-Based Patient Activity Monitoring System

Inpatient falls from beds in hospitals are a common problem.Such falls may result in severe injuries.This problem can be addressed by continuous monitoring of patients using cameras.Recent advancements in deep learning-based video analytics have made this task of fall detection more effective and efficient.Along with fall detection,monitoring of different activities of the patients is also of significant concern to assess the improvement in their health.High computation-intensive models are required to monitor every action of the patient precisely.This requirement limits the applicability of such networks.Hence,to keep the model lightweight,the already designed fall detection networks can be extended to monitor the general activities of the patients along with the fall detection.Motivated by the same notion,we propose a novel,lightweight,and efficient patient activity monitoring system that broadly classifies the patients’activities into fall,activity,and rest classes based on their poses.The whole network comprises three sub-networks,namely a Convolutional Neural Networks(CNN)based video compression network,a Lightweight Pose Network(LPN)and a Residual Network(ResNet)Mixer block-based activity recognition network.The compression network compresses the video streams using deep learning networks for efficient storage and retrieval;after that,LPN estimates human poses.Finally,the activity recognition network classifies the patients’activities based on their poses.The proposed system shows an overall accuracy of approx.99.7% over a standard dataset with 99.63% fall detection accuracy and efficiently monitors different events,which may help monitor the falls and improve the inpatients’health.

Abnormal Action Recognition with Lightweight Pose Estimation Network in Electric Power Training Scene

Electric power training is essential for ensuring the safety and reliability of the system.In this study,we introduce a novel Abnormal Action Recognition(AAR)system that utilizes a Lightweight Pose Estimation Network(LPEN)to efficiently and effectively detect abnormal fall-down and trespass incidents in electric power training scenarios.The LPEN network,comprising three stages—MobileNet,Initial Stage,and Refinement Stage—is employed to swiftly extract image features,detect human key points,and refine them for accurate analysis.Subsequently,a Pose-aware Action Analysis Module(PAAM)captures the positional coordinates of human skeletal points in each frame.Finally,an Abnormal Action Inference Module(AAIM)evaluates whether abnormal fall-down or unauthorized trespass behavior is occurring.For fall-down recognition,three criteria—falling speed,main angles of skeletal points,and the person’s bounding box—are considered.To identify unauthorized trespass,emphasis is placed on the position of the ankles.Extensive experiments validate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed system in ensuring the safety and reliability of electric power training.

Movement Function Assessment Based on Human Pose Estimation from Multi-View

Human pose estimation is a basic and critical task in the field of computer vision that involves determining the position(or spatial coordinates)of the joints of the human body in a given image or video.It is widely used in motion analysis,medical evaluation,and behavior monitoring.In this paper,the authors propose a method for multi-view human pose estimation.Two image sensors were placed orthogonally with respect to each other to capture the pose of the subject as they moved,and this yielded accurate and comprehensive results of three-dimensional(3D)motion reconstruction that helped capture their multi-directional poses.Following this,we propose a method based on 3D pose estimation to assess the similarity of the features of motion of patients with motor dysfunction by comparing differences between their range of motion and that of normal subjects.We converted these differences into Fugl–Meyer assessment(FMA)scores in order to quantify them.Finally,we implemented the proposed method in the Unity framework,and built a Virtual Reality platform that provides users with human–computer interaction to make the task more enjoyable for them and ensure their active participation in the assessment process.The goal is to provide a suitable means of assessing movement disorders without requiring the immediate supervision of a physician.

Machine learning algorithm partially reconfigured on FPGA for an image edge detection system

Unmanned aerial vehicles(UAVs)have been widely used in military,medical,wireless communications,aerial surveillance,etc.One key topic involving UAVs is pose estimation in autonomous navigation.A standard procedure for this process is to combine inertial navigation system sensor information with the global navigation satellite system(GNSS)signal.However,some factors can interfere with the GNSS signal,such as ionospheric scintillation,jamming,or spoofing.One alternative method to avoid using the GNSS signal is to apply an image processing approach by matching UAV images with georeferenced images.But a high effort is required for image edge extraction.Here a support vector regression(SVR)model is proposed to reduce this computational load and processing time.The dynamic partial reconfiguration(DPR)of part of the SVR datapath is implemented to accelerate the process,reduce the area,and analyze its granularity by increasing the grain size of the reconfigurable region.Results show that the implementation in hardware is 68 times faster than that in software.This architecture with DPR also facilitates the low power consumption of 4 mW,leading to a reduction of 57%than that without DPR.This is also the lowest power consumption in current machine learning hardware implementations.Besides,the circuitry area is 41 times smaller.SVR with Gaussian kernel shows a success rate of 99.18%and minimum square error of 0.0146 for testing with the planning trajectory.This system is useful for adaptive applications where the user/designer can modify/reconfigure the hardware layout during its application,thus contributing to lower power consumption,smaller hardware area,and shorter execution time.

Squirrel Search Optimization with Deep Convolutional Neural Network for Human Pose Estimation

Human pose estimation(HPE)is a procedure for determining the structure of the body pose and it is considered a challenging issue in the computer vision(CV)communities.HPE finds its applications in several fields namely activity recognition and human-computer interface.Despite the benefits of HPE,it is still a challenging process due to the variations in visual appearances,lighting,occlusions,dimensionality,etc.To resolve these issues,this paper presents a squirrel search optimization with a deep convolutional neural network for HPE(SSDCNN-HPE)technique.The major intention of the SSDCNN-HPE technique is to identify the human pose accurately and efficiently.Primarily,the video frame conversion process is performed and pre-processing takes place via bilateral filtering-based noise removal process.Then,the EfficientNet model is applied to identify the body points of a person with no problem constraints.Besides,the hyperparameter tuning of the EfficientNet model takes place by the use of the squirrel search algorithm(SSA).In the final stage,the multiclass support vector machine(M-SVM)technique was utilized for the identification and classification of human poses.The design of bilateral filtering followed by SSA based EfficientNetmodel for HPE depicts the novelty of the work.To demonstrate the enhanced outcomes of the SSDCNN-HPE approach,a series of simulations are executed.The experimental results reported the betterment of the SSDCNN-HPE system over the recent existing techniques in terms of different measures.

Copy-Move Geometric Tampering Estimation Through Enhanced SIFT Detector Method

Digital picture forgery detection has recently become a popular and sig-nificant topic in image processing.Due to advancements in image processing and the availability of sophisticated software,picture fabrication may hide evidence and hinder the detection of such criminal cases.The practice of modifying origi-nal photographic images to generate a forged image is known as digital image forging.A section of an image is copied and pasted into another part of the same image to hide an item or duplicate particular image elements in copy-move forgery.In order to make the forgeries real and inconspicuous,geometric or post-processing techniques are frequently performed on tampered regions during the tampering process.In Copy-Move forgery detection,the high similarity between the tampered regions and the source regions has become crucial evidence.The most frequent way for detecting copy-move forgeries is to partition the images into overlapping square blocks and utilize Discrete cosine transform(DCT)com-ponents as block representations.Due to the high dimensionality of the feature space,Gaussian Radial basis function(RBF)kernel based Principal component analysis(PCA)is used to minimize the dimensionality of the feature vector repre-sentation,which improves feature matching efficiency.In this paper,we propose to use a novel enhanced Scale-invariant feature transform(SIFT)detector method called as RootSIFT,combined with the similarity measures to mark the tampered areas in the image.The proposed method outperforms existing state-of-the-art methods in terms of matching time complexity,detection reliability,and forgery location accuracy,according to the experimental results.The F1 score of the proposed method is 92.3%while the literature methods are around 90%on an average.

Optimal Deep Convolutional Neural Network with Pose Estimation for Human Activity Recognition

Human Action Recognition(HAR)and pose estimation from videos have gained significant attention among research communities due to its applica-tion in several areas namely intelligent surveillance,human robot interaction,robot vision,etc.Though considerable improvements have been made in recent days,design of an effective and accurate action recognition model is yet a difficult process owing to the existence of different obstacles such as variations in camera angle,occlusion,background,movement speed,and so on.From the literature,it is observed that hard to deal with the temporal dimension in the action recognition process.Convolutional neural network(CNN)models could be used widely to solve this.With this motivation,this study designs a novel key point extraction with deep convolutional neural networks based pose estimation(KPE-DCNN)model for activity recognition.The KPE-DCNN technique initially converts the input video into a sequence of frames followed by a three stage process namely key point extraction,hyperparameter tuning,and pose estimation.In the keypoint extraction process an OpenPose model is designed to compute the accurate key-points in the human pose.Then,an optimal DCNN model is developed to classify the human activities label based on the extracted key points.For improving the training process of the DCNN technique,RMSProp optimizer is used to optimally adjust the hyperparameters such as learning rate,batch size,and epoch count.The experimental results tested using benchmark dataset like UCF sports dataset showed that KPE-DCNN technique is able to achieve good results compared with benchmark algorithms like CNN,DBN,SVM,STAL,T-CNN and so on.

Spacecraft Pose Estimation Based on Different Camera Models

Spacecraft pose estimation is an important technology to maintain or change the spacecraft orientation in space.For spacecraft pose estimation,when two spacecraft are relatively distant,the depth information of the space point is less than that of the measuring distance,so the camera model can be seen as a weak perspective projection model.In this paper,a spacecraft pose estimation algorithm based on four symmetrical points of the spacecraft outline is proposed.The analytical solution of the spacecraft pose is obtained by solving the weak perspective projection model,which can satisfy the requirements of the measurement model when the measurement distance is long.The optimal solution is obtained from the weak perspective projection model to the perspective projection model,which can meet the measurement requirements when the measuring distance is small.The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can obtain better results,even though the noise is large.
