{ "pk": 26979, "title": "Inferring Human Interaction from Motion Trajectories in Aerial Videos", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "People are adept at perceiving interactions from movementsof simple shapes but the underlying mechanism remains un-known. Previous studies have often used object movementsdefined by experimenters. The present study used aerial videosrecorded by drones in a real-life environment to generate de-contextualized motion stimuli. Motion trajectories of dis-played elements were the only visual input. We measuredhuman judgments of interactiveness between two moving el-ements, and the dynamic change of such judgments over time.A hierarchical model was developed to account for human per-formance in this task, which represents interactivity using la-tent variables, and learns the distribution of critical movementfeatures that signal potential interactivity. The model providesa good fit to human judgments and can also be generalized tothe original Heider-Simmel animations (1944). The model canalso synthesize decontextualized animations with controlleddegree of interactiveness, providing a viable tool for studyinganimacy and social perception.", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "", "short_name": "", "text": null, "url": "" }, "keywords": [ { "word": "social interaction; motion; decontextualized ani-mation; hierarchical model; action understanding" } ], "section": "Talks: Papers", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/42f98263", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "Tianmin", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Shu", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "University of California, Los Angeles", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Yujia", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Peng", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "University of California, Los Angeles", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Lifeng", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Fan", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "University of California, Los Angeles", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Hongjing", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Lu", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "University of California, Los Angeles", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Song-Chun", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Zhu", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "University of California, Los Angeles", "department": "" } ], "date_submitted": null, "date_accepted": null, "date_published": "2017-01-01T18:00:00Z", "render_galley": null, "galleys": [ { "label": "PDF", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/26979/galley/16615/download/" } ] }
