• Abstract: Ground pressure exerted by the human body is a valuable source of information for human activity recognition (HAR) in unobtrusive pervasive sensing. While data collection from pressure sensors to develop HAR solutions requires significant resources and effort, we present a novel end-to-end framework, PresSim, to synthesize sensor data from videos of human activities to reduce such effort significantly. PresSim adopts a 3-stage process: first, extract the 3D activity information from videos with computer vision architectures; then simulate the floor mesh deformation profiles based on the 3D activity information and gravity-included physics simulation; lastly, generate the simulated pressure sensor data with deep learning models. We explored two approaches for the 3D activity information: inverse kinematics with mesh re-targeting, and volumetric pose and shape estimation. We validated PresSim with an experimental setup with a monocular camera to provide input and a pressure-sensing fitness mat (80x28 spatial resolution) to provide the sensor ground truth, where nine participants performed a set of predefined yoga sequences.

  Humans build 3D understandings of the world through active object exploration, using jointly their senses of vision and touch. In 3D shape reconstruction, most recent progress has relied on static datasets of limited sensory data such as RGB images, depth maps or haptic readings. We introduce a system composed of: 1) a haptic simulator leveraging high spatial resolution vision-based tactile sensors for active touching of 3D objects; 2) a mesh-based 3D shape reconstruction model that relies on tactile or visuotactile priors to guide the shape exploration; and 3) a set of data-driven solutions with either tactile or visuo
