Intelligent Information Media Lab
Research overview
Our research themes conver a wide range of basic technologies and
applications for intelligent information-media systems that support
people in daily life.
As the basic technologies, computer vision, image understanding, and
other multi-media sensing and recognition techniques are widely
studied.
In addition, machine learning including deep neural networks for the
big multi-media analysis is also our focus.
These basic techniques are employed for various real-world systems for
human sensing, human modeling, and human support.

Research themes
-
Image enhancement such as Super resolution:
Images taken with a camera include various defects such as distant objects appearing small (difficult to recognize), blurring when the camera or subject moves, and objects that you do not want to see. These deficiencies interfere both when a person sees an image and when a machine sees the image and recognizes something. We study image enhancement technology to solve these problems.
-
Human activity recognition with big data learning:
For human pose, motion, and activity recognition, we utilize not only training data given by manual annotations but also unsupervised data (e.g., images, videos, and texts in the Internet) in order to improve the performance.
-
Human group and crowd analysis:
Activities of human group and crowd are analyzed for recognizing highly-contextual events in the real world.
-
Human motion sensing and estimation:
Natural motions of a human body are measured by optical sensors (e.g., cameras). These accurately-measured motions are also modeled by machine learning in order to explore individual characteristics and skills. Human motions are also observed by cameras and estimated in observed images and videos. These estimated motions are useful for monitoring, HCI, HRI, and other applications.
-
Human-like Motion Generation and Prediction:
Human and robot motions are generated and predicted for a variety of applications such as human motion animation, human trajectory prediction, and robot motion planning.
-
Video recognition for inside and outside vehicles:
For smart vehicle control, we develop activity and condition recognition methods for passengers and pedestrians.
