Artificial Data for Activity Recognition

Bachelor Thesis, Kristina Katovich, 2019

Video-based activity recognition is a research field of broad interest. There exists a variety of methods that tackle this problem, most of which are working directly on image data. However, artificial / synthetic data have already proven their value for various tasks in machine learning. Kristina is therefore ivestigating whether such data can also be applied to the problem of activity recognition. Read more

Multi-Person Pose Estimation using synthetically generated Data

Master Thesis, Andreas Blattmann, 2019

Pose estimation is a quiet challenging task in the field of crowd monitoring. The promising JTA dataset provides an easy way to generate many poses with annotated ground truth keypoints. However, the gap between synthetical and real data ist quite big, therefore Andreas tries to minimize the distance between both domains. Read more
