A novel indexing approach for efficient and fast similarity search of captured motions

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

Indexing of motion data is important for quickly searching similar motions for sign language recognition and gait analysis and rehabilitation. This paper proposes a simple and efficient tree structure for indexing motion data with dozens of attributes. Feature vectors are extracted for indexing by using singular value decomposition (SVD) properties of motion data matrices. By having similar motions with large variations indexed together, searching for similar motions of a query needs only one node traversal at each tree level, and only one feature needs to be considered at one tree level. Experiments show that the majority of irrelevant motions can be pruned while retrieving all similar motions, and one traversal of the indexing tree takes only several microseconds with the existence of motion variations.
