“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.

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.

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.

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.

Improved HardNet and Stricter Outlier Filtering to Guide Reliable Matching

As the fundamental problem in the computer vision area,image matching has wide applications in pose estimation,3D reconstruction,image retrieval,etc.Suffering from the influence of external factors,the process of image matching using classical local detectors,e.g.,scale-invariant feature transform(SIFT),and the outlier filtering approaches,e.g.,Random sample consensus(RANSAC),show high computation speed and pool robustness under changing illumination and viewpoints conditions,while image matching approaches with deep learning strategy(such as HardNet,OANet)display reliable achievements in large-scale datasets with challenging scenes.However,the past learning-based approaches are limited to the distinction and quality of the dataset and the training strategy in the image-matching approaches.As an extension of the previous conference paper,this paper proposes an accurate and robust image matching approach using fewer training data in an end-to-end manner,which could be used to estimate the pose error This research first proposes a novel dataset cleaning and construction strategy to eliminate the noise and improve the training efficiency;Secondly,a novel loss named quadratic hinge triplet loss(QHT)is proposed to gather more effective and stable feature matching;Thirdly,in the outlier filtering process,the stricter OANet and bundle adjustment are applied for judging samples by adding the epipolar distance constraint and triangulation constraint to generate more outstanding matches;Finally,to recall the matching pairs,dynamic guided matching is used and then submit the inliers after the PyRANSAC process.Multiple evaluation metrics are used and reported in the 1st place in the Track1 of CVPR Image-Matching Challenge Workshop.The results show that the proposed method has advanced performance in large-scale and challenging Phototourism benchmark.

With the advancement of image sensing technology, estimating 3Dhuman pose frommonocular video has becomea hot research topic in computer vision. 3D human pose estimation is an essential prerequisite for subsequentaction analysis and understanding. It empowers a wide spectrum of potential applications in various areas, suchas intelligent transportation, human-computer interaction, and medical rehabilitation. Currently, some methodsfor 3D human pose estimation in monocular video employ temporal convolutional network (TCN) to extractinter-frame feature relationships, but the majority of them suffer from insufficient inter-frame feature relationshipextractions.

It enablesmore inter-frame features to be captured andmakes the utmost of the feature relationshipsbetween data. Furthermore, we adopt kinematic structural information to solve bone length enhancing the use ofintra-frame joint features. Finally, we design a loss function for joint training of the bone direction estimationnetwork with the bone length estimation network. The proposed method has extensively experimented on thepublic benchmark dataset Human3.6M. Both quantitative and qualitative experimental results showed that theproposed method can achieve more accurate 3D human pose estimations.

Identifying human actions and interactions finds its use in manyareas, such as security, surveillance, assisted living, patient monitoring, rehabilitation,sports, and e-learning. This wide range of applications has attractedmany researchers to this field. Inspired by the existing recognition systems,this paper proposes a new and efficient human-object interaction recognition(HOIR) model which is based on modeling human pose and scene featureinformation. There are different aspects involved in an interaction, includingthe humans, the objects, the various body parts of the human, and the backgroundscene. Themain objectives of this research include critically examiningthe importance of all these elements in determining the interaction, estimatinghuman pose through image foresting transform (IFT), and detecting the performedinteractions based on an optimizedmulti-feature vector. The proposedmethodology has six main phases. The first phase involves preprocessing theimages. During preprocessing stages, the videos are converted into imageframes. Then their contrast is adjusted, and noise is removed. In the secondphase, the human-object pair is detected and extracted from each image frame.The third phase involves the identification of key body parts of the detectedhumans using IFT. The fourth phase relates to three different kinds of featureextraction techniques. Then these features are combined and optimized duringthe fifth phase. The optimized vector is used to classify the interactions in thelast phase. TheMSRDaily Activity 3D dataset has been used to test this modeland to prove its efficiency. The proposed system obtains an average accuracyof 91.7% on this dataset.

ER-Net:Efficient Recalibration Network for Multi-ViewMulti-Person 3D Pose Estimation

Multi-view multi-person 3D human pose estimation is a hot topic in the field of human pose estimation due to its wide range of application scenarios.With the introduction of end-to-end direct regression methods,the field has entered a new stage of development.However,the regression results of joints that are more heavily influenced by external factors are not accurate enough even for the optimal method.In this paper,we propose an effective feature recalibration module based on the channel attention mechanism and a relative optimal calibration strategy,which is applied to themulti-viewmulti-person 3D human pose estimation task to achieve improved detection accuracy for joints that are more severely affected by external factors.Specifically,it achieves relative optimal weight adjustment of joint feature information through the recalibration module and strategy,which enables the model to learn the dependencies between joints and the dependencies between people and their corresponding joints.We call this method as the Efficient Recalibration Network(ER-Net).Finally,experiments were conducted on two benchmark datasets for this task,Campus and Shelf,in which the PCP reached 97.3% and 98.3%,respectively.

Full Scale-Aware Balanced High-Resolution Network for Multi-Person Pose Estimation

Scale variation is amajor challenge inmulti-person pose estimation.In scenes where persons are present at various distances,models tend to perform better on larger-scale persons,while the performance for smaller-scale persons often falls short of expectations.Therefore,effectively balancing the persons of different scales poses a significant challenge.So this paper proposes a newmulti-person pose estimation model called FSANet to improve themodel’s performance in complex scenes.Our model utilizes High-Resolution Network(HRNet)as the backbone and feeds the outputs of the last stage’s four branches into the DCB module.The dilated convolution-based(DCB)module employs a parallel structure that incorporates dilated convolutions with different rates to expand the receptive field of each branch.Subsequently,the attention operation-based(AOB)module performs attention operations at both branch and channel levels to enhance high-frequency features and reduce the influence of noise.Finally,predictions are made using the heatmap representation.The model can recognize images with diverse scales and more complex semantic information.Experimental results demonstrate that FSA Net achieves competitive results on the MSCOCO and MPII datasets,validating the effectiveness of our proposed approach.
