Abstract:In this paper, we construct a lightweight, high-precision and high-speed object tracking using a trained CNN. Conventional methods with trained CNNs use VGG16 network which requires powerful computational resources. Therefore, there is a problem that it is difficult to apply in low computation resources environments. To solve this problem, we use MobileNetV3, which is a CNN for mobile terminals.Based on Feature Map Selection Tracking, we propose a new architecture that extracts effective features of MobileNet for object tracking. The architecture requires no online learning but only offline learning. In addition, by using features of objects other than tracking target, the features of tracking target are extracted more efficiently. We measure the tracking accuracy with Visual Tracker Benchmark and confirm that the proposed method can perform high-precision and high-speed calculation even in low computation resource environments.
Abstract:This study aims to find the upper limit of the wireless sensing capability of acquiring physical space information. This is a challenging objective, because at present, wireless sensing studies continue to succeed in acquiring novel phenomena. Thus, although a complete answer cannot be obtained yet, a step is taken towards it here. To achieve this, CSI2Image, a novel channel-state-information (CSI)-to-image conversion method based on generative adversarial networks (GANs), is proposed. The type of physical information acquired using wireless sensing can be estimated by checking wheth\-er the reconstructed image captures the desired physical space information. Three types of learning methods are demonstrated: gen\-er\-a\-tor-only learning, GAN-only learning, and hybrid learning. Evaluating the performance of CSI2Image is difficult, because both the clarity of the image and the presence of the desired physical space information must be evaluated. To solve this problem, a quantitative evaluation methodology using an object detection library is also proposed. CSI2Image was implemented using IEEE 802.11ac compressed CSI, and the evaluation results show that the image was successfully reconstructed. The results demonstrate that gen\-er\-a\-tor-only learning is sufficient for simple wireless sensing problems, but in complex wireless sensing problems, GANs are important for reconstructing generalized images with more accurate physical space information.
Abstract:In typical point cloud delivery, a sender uses octree-based digital video compression to send three-dimensional (3D) points and color attributes over band-limited links. However, the digital-based schemes have an issue called the cliff effect, where the 3D reconstruction quality will be a step function in terms of wireless channel quality. To prevent the cliff effect subject to channel quality fluctuation, we have proposed soft point cloud delivery called HoloCast. Although the HoloCast realizes graceful quality improvement according to wireless channel quality, it requires large communication overheads. In this paper, we propose a novel scheme for soft point cloud delivery to simultaneously realize better quality and lower communication overheads. The proposed scheme introduces an end-to-end deep learning framework based on graph neural network (GNN) to reconstruct high-quality point clouds from its distorted observation under wireless fading channels. We demonstrate that the proposed GNN-based scheme can reconstruct clean 3D point cloud with low overheads by removing fading and noise effects.
