• Abstract: Dynamic gestures enable the transfer of directive information to a robot. Moreover, the ability of a robot to recognize them from a long distance makes communication more effective and practical. However, current state-of-the-art models for dynamic gestures exhibit limitations in recognition distance, typically achieving effective performance only within a few meters. In this work, we propose a model for recognizing dynamic gestures from a long distance of up to 20 meters. The model integrates the SlowFast and Transformer architectures (SFT) to effectively process and classify complex gesture sequences captured in video frames. SFT demonstrates superior performance over existing models.

  We introduce "motion patches", a new representation of motion sequences, and propose using Vision Transformers (ViT) as motion encoders via transfer learning. These motion patches, created by dividing and sorting skeleton joints based on motion sequences, are robust to varying skeleton structures. We find that transfer learning with pre-trained weights of ViT obtained through training with 2D image data can boost the performance of motion analysis.

  Spectral Motion Alignment (SMA) is a framework that refines and aligns motion vectors using Fourier and wavelet transforms. SMA learns motion patterns by incorporating frequency-domain regularization, facilitating the learning of whole-frame global motion dynamics. Extensive experiments demonstrate SMA's efficacy in improving motion transfer while maintaining computational efficiency and compatibility across various video customization frameworks.

We propose a flexible and robust approach based on the graph neural network (GNN) to efficiently model non-local interactions between pixels in space and time regardless of the distance.

  We propose a novel unsupervised domain adaptation framework which can simultaneously transfer multi-modality knowledge, i.e., both kinematic and visual data, from simulator to real robot. It remedies the domain gap with enhanced transferable features by using temporal cues in videos, and inherent correlations in multi-modal towards recognizing gesture. Results show that our approach recovers the performance with great improvement gains, up to 12.91% in ACC and 20.16% in F1score without using any annotations in real robot.
