The task is the detection of gestures belonging to a dictionary of 16 classes characterized by different pose and motion features. The dataset features continuous sequences of hand tracking data where the gestures are interleaved with non-significant motions. The data have been captured using the Hololens 2 finger tracking system in a realistic use-case of mixed reality interaction. The evaluation is based not only on the detection performances but also on the latency and the false positives, making it possible to understand the feasibility of practical interaction tools based on the algorithms proposed. The outcomes of the contest's evaluation demonstrate the necessity of further research to reduce recognition errors, while the computational cost of the algorithms proposed is sufficiently low.}, language = {en} } @article{NavaYazdaniHegevonTycowicz2022, author = {Nava-Yazdani, Esfandiar and Hege, Hans-Christian and von Tycowicz, Christoph}, title = {A Hierarchical Geodesic Model for Longitudinal Analysis on Manifolds}, volume = {64}, journal = {Journal of Mathematical Imaging and Vision}, number = {4}, doi = {10.1007/s10851-022-01079-x}, pages = {395 -- 407}, year = {2022}, abstract = {In many applications, geodesic hierarchical models are adequate for the study of temporal observations. We employ such a model derived for manifold-valued data to Kendall's shape space. In particular, instead of the Sasaki metric, we adapt a functional-based metric, which increases the computational efficiency and does not require the implementation of the curvature tensor. We propose the corresponding variational time discretization of geodesics and employ the approach for longitudinal analysis of 2D rat skulls shapes as well as 3D shapes derived from an imaging study on osteoarthritis. Particularly, we perform hypothesis test and estimate the mean trends.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{MyersUtpalaTalbaretal.2022, author = {Myers, Adele and Utpala, Saiteja and Talbar, Shubham and Sanborn, Sophia and Shewmake, Christian and Donnat, Claire and Mathe, Johan and Lupo, Umberto and Sonthalia, Rishi and Cui, Xinyue and Szwagier, Tom and Pignet, Arthur and Bergsson, Andri and Hauberg, S{\o}ren and Nielsen, Dmitriy and Sommer, Stefan and Klindt, David and Hermansen, Erik and Vaupel, Melvin and Dunn, Benjamin and Xiong, Jeffrey and Aharony, Noga and Pe'er, Itsik and Ambellan, Felix and Hanik, Martin and Navayazdani, Esfandiar and Tycowicz, Christoph von and Miolane, Nina}, title = {ICLR 2022 Challenge for Computational Geomerty \& Topology: Design and Results}, volume = {196}, booktitle = {Proceedings of Topology, Algebra, and Geometry in Learning}, publisher = {PMLR}, arxiv = {http://arxiv.org/abs/2206.09048}, pages = {269 -- 276}, year = {2022}, language = {en} }
