Abstract

In this talk I will give an overview of recent work in my group  
ranging from computer vision and scene context modeling to activity  
recognition using wearable sensors.

In the first part of my talk I will cover four computer vision topics.  
First I describe a new approach for people tracking by detection to  
allow tracking of people across long occlusions. Second I summarize  
our work using probabilistic topics models and a dense object  
representation that is applicable to various tasks such as  
unsupervised object class discovery and object detection. Third I  
describe a hierarchical conditional random field model for object  
detection. The last topic in computer vision is scene context modeling  
by a dynamic conditional random field model that enables to jointly  
label scene and objects in videos.

The focus of the second part of the talk is context modeling and  
activity recognition for wearable computing. First I will describe how  
we applied probabilistic topic modeling to discover activity routines  
in sensor recordings of daily life. And second I describe a new method  
to enable gesture recognition in continuous sensor streams using a  
wrist-worn inertial sensor.
