Tactile data and kinesthetic cues are two important sensing sources in robot object recognition and are complementary to each other. In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm named Iterative Closest Labeled Point (iCLAP) to recognize objects using both tactile and kinesthetic information. The iCLAP first assigns different local tactile features with distinct label numbers. The label numbers of the tactile features together with their associated 3D positions form a 4D point cloud of the object. In this manner, the two sensing modalities are merged to form a synthesized perception of the touched object. To recognize an object, the partial 4D point cloud obtained from a number of touches iteratively matches with all the reference cloud models to identify the best fit. An extensive evaluation study with 20 real objects shows that our proposed iCLAP approach outperforms those using either of the separate sensing modalities, with a substantial recognition rate improvement of up to 18%.

Fall detection systems have been proposed to prevent additional injuries following fall accidents. This paper introduces an easily learnable fall detection system based on the data of an individual patient in a hospital room. The improvement of low performance using a single accelerometer at wrists and the inconvenience of sensor attached to a waist in the conventional approach was concentrated on by integrating heart rate signals to the conventional acceleration approach and changing the sensor location from a waist to wrists. As for the optimal heart rate feature selection, we proposed a four-feature vector combination (root mean square of successive differences, standard deviation of successive differences, normal to normal 50, normal to normal 20) with correlation and mutual information analysis in addition to mean absolute deviation selected as an accelerometer feature. To easily acquire and train the patients' fall data, our system was based on unsupervised learning approaches using Gaussian mixture models for optimal classifiers with the optimal cluster number decided by cluster validation index of square error sum. A 10-fold cross validation was applied for a final performance evaluation where each threshold for separating fall state from non-fall state was automatically decided in several comparison groups, which were created on the basis of fusion timing and used sensors. As a result, despite sensors attached to the wrist, the wearable inconvenience of the conventional is overcome using the feature-level fused approach between heart rates and accelerations with the accuracy up to 98.39 %, which is closest to 99.34 % of the case using a single accelerometer located at the waist.

Recognizing human action is valuable for many real world applications such as video surveillance, human computer interaction, smart home and gaming. In this paper, we present a method of action recognition based on hypothesizing that the classification of action can be boosted by motion information using optical flow. Emergence of automatic RGBD video analysis, we propose fusing optical flow is extracted from both RGB and depth channels for action representation. Firstly, we extract optical flow from RGB and depth data. Secondly, motion descriptor with spatial pyramid is computed from histogram of optical flow of RGB and depth. Then, feature pooling technique is used in order to accumulate RGB and depth feature into set of feature vectors for each action. Finally, we use the Multiple Kernel Learning (MKL) technique at the kernel level for action classification from RGB and depth feature pooling. To demonstrate generalizability, our proposed method has been systematically evaluated on two benchmark datasets shown to be more effective and accurate for action recognition compared to the previous work. We obtain overall accuracies of: 97.5% and 92.8% with our proposed method on the 3D ActionPairs and MSR-Daily Activity 3D dataset, respectively.
