1 Wearable Sensing for Understanding, Forecasting and Assisting Human Activity Kris Kitani Assistant Research Professor Carnegie Mellon University

2 camera Wearable sensing camera smartphone

3 camera Wearable sensing camera smartphone

4 What s so unique about wearable cameras?

5 Table' tennis Features of FPV Near-View Environment Chat Intimate Social Sensing Chat traditional view Chat near-view Closer view of the environment (especially hands-object interactions) Chat Up close observations of interactions (faces, gestures, eye contact, touch) True Visual Experience On-the-Go Direct access to a person s visual experience (saliency, visual motifs) Platform is mobile (large scale visual analysis)

6 Research Directions Object Recognition Action Recognition Video Summarization [Piriavash, Ramanan CVPR 2012] [Fathi, Faharadi, Rehg, ICCV 2011] [Lee, Gnosh, Grauman. CVPR 2012] Social Saliency Gaze Analysis Privacy Preservation [Park, Jain, Sheikh. NIPS 2012] [Li, Fathi, Rehg. ICCV 2013] [Hoyle et al. UBICOMP 2014] Activity Prediction Social Interactions Affordance Estimation [Ryoo et al. HRI 2015] [Fathi, Hodgins, Rehg. CVPR 2012] [Rhinehart, Kitani. CVPR 2016]

9 When we observe a scene we know how we can act in that environment

10 When we observe a scene walk walk we know how we can act in that environment

11 When we observe a scene sit sit sit we know how we can act in that environment

12 When we observe a scene open open open we know how we can act in that environment

13 Can we teach a computer to understand scene functionality?

14 Input: Captured visual experience
