• Abstract: Human pose estimation and action recognition have received attention due to their critical roles in healthcare monitoring, rehabilitation, and assistive technologies. In this study, we proposed a novel architecture named Transformer based Encoder Decoder Network (TED Net) designed for estimating human skeleton poses from WiFi Channel State Information (CSI). TED Net integrates convolutional encoders with transformer based attention mechanisms to capture spatiotemporal features from CSI signals. The estimated skeleton poses were used as input to a customized Directed Graph Neural Network (DGNN) for action recognition. We validated our model on two datasets: a publicly available multi modal dataset for assessing general pose estimation, and a newly collected dataset focused on fall related scenarios involving 20 participants. Experimental results demonstrated that TED Net outperformed existing approaches in pose estimation, and that the DGNN achieves reliable action classification using CSI based skeletons, with performance comparable to RGB based systems. Notably, TED Net maintains robust performance across both fall and non fall cases. These findings highlight the potential of CSI driven human skeleton estimation for effective action recognition, particularly in home environments such as elderly fall detection. In such settings, WiFi signals are often readily available, offering a privacy preserving alternative to vision based methods, which may raise concerns about continuous camera monitoring.

  This paper introduces a novel framework to learn data association for multi-object tracking in a self-supervised manner. Motivated by the fact that in real-world scenarios object motion can be usually represented by a Markov process, we present a novel expectation (EM) algorithm that trains a neural network to associate detections for tracking. We evaluate our approach on the challenging MOT17 and MOT20 datasets and achieve state-of-the-art results in comparison to self-supervised trackers.

  We propose a novel correlation-driven joint-bone fusion graph convolutional network (CD-JBF-GCN) as an encoder and use a pose prediction head as a decoder. Specifically, the CD-JBF-GC can explore the motion transmission between the joint stream and the bone stream. The pose prediction based auto-encoder in the self-supervised training stage allows the network to learn motion representation from unlabeled data.
