• Abstract: This paper presents a novel approach of representing dynamic visual scenes with static maps generated from video/image streams. Such representation allows easy visual assessment of motion in dynamic environments. These maps are 2D matrices calculated recursively, in a pixel-wise manner, that is based on the recently introduced concept of Eccentricity data analysis. Eccentricity works as a metric of a discrepancy between a particular pixel of an image and its normality model, calculated in terms of mean and variance of past readings of the same spatial region of the image. While Eccentricity maps carry temporal information about the scene, actual images do not need to be stored nor processed in batches. Rather, all the calculations are done recursively, based on a small amount of statistical information stored in memory, thus resulting in a very computationally efficient (processor- and memory-wise) method. The list of potential applications includes video-based activity recognition, intent recognition, object tracking, video description, and so on.

  Visual localization and mapping is the key technology underlying the majority of Mixed Reality and robotics systems. We present three novel scenarios for localization and mapping which require the continuous update of feature representations. Our data-driven approach is agnostic to the feature descriptor type, has low computational requirements, and scales linearly with the number of description algorithms.
