This paper proposes and evaluates a sketching language to author crowd motion. It focuses on the path, speed, thickness, and density parameters of crowd motion. A sketch-based vocabulary is proposed for each parameter and evaluated in a user study against complex crowd scenes. A sketch recognition pipeline converts the sketches into a crowd simulation. The user study results show that 1) participants at various skill levels and can draw accurate crowd motion through sketching, 2) certain sketch styles lead to a more accurate representation of crowd parameters, and 3) sketching allows to produce complex crowd motions in a few seconds. The results show that some styles although accurate actually are less preferred over less accurate ones.more » « less

Construction tasks involve various activities composed of one or more body motions. It is essential to understand the dynamically changing behavior and state of construction workers to manage construction workers effectively with regards to their safety and productivity. While several research efforts have shown promising results in activity recognition, further research is still necessary to identify the best locations of motion sensors on a worker’s body by analyzing the recognition results for improving the performance and reducing the implementation cost. This study proposes a simulation-based evaluation of multiple motion sensors attached to workers performing typical construction tasks. A set of 17 inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensors is utilized to collect motion sensor data from an entire body. Multiple machine learning algorithms are utilized to classify the motions of the workers by simulating several scenarios with different combinations and features of the sensors. Through the simulations, each IMU sensor placed in different locations of a body is tested to evaluate its recognition accuracy toward the worker’s different activity types. Then, the effectiveness of sensor locations is measured regarding activity recognition performance to determine relative advantage of each location. Based on the results, the required number of sensors can be reduced maintaining the recognition performance. The findings of this study can contribute to the practical implementation of activity recognition using simple motion sensors to enhance the safety and productivity of individual workers.more » « less

The aim of this study is to develop an internal-external correlation model for internal motion estimation for lung cancer radiotherapy. Deformation vector fields that characterize the internal-external motion are obtained by respectively registering the internal organ meshes and external surface meshes from the 4DCT images via a recently developed local topology preserved non-rigid point matching algorithm. A composite matrix is constructed by combing the estimated internal phasic DVFs with external phasic and directional DVFs. Principle component analysis is then applied to the composite matrix to extract principal motion characteristics, and generate model parameters to correlate the internal-external motion. The proposed model is evaluated on a 4D NURBS-based cardiac-torso (NCAT) synthetic phantom and 4DCT images from five lung cancer patients. For tumor tracking, the center of mass errors of the tracked tumor are 0.8(±0.5)mm/0.8(±0.4)mm for synthetic data, and 1.3(±1.0) mm/1.2(±1.2)mm for patient data in the intra-fraction/inter-fraction tracking, respectively. For lung tracking, the percent errors of the tracked contours are 0.06(±0.02)/0.07(±0.03) for synthetic data, and 0.06(±0.02)/0.06(±0.02) for patient data in the intra-fraction/inter-fraction tracking, respectively. The extensive validations have demonstrated the effectiveness and reliability of the proposed model in motion tracking for both the tumor and the lung in lung cancer radiotherapy.more » « less
