Following improvements in deep neural networks, stateof-the-art netwy depends on the training data. An issue with collecting training data is labeling. Labeling by humans is necessary to obtain the ground truth label; however, labeling requires huge costs. Therefore, we propose an automatic labeled data generation pipeline, for which we can change any parameters or data generation environments. Our approach uses a human model named Dhaiba and a background of Miraikan and consequently generated realistic artificial data. We present 500k+ data generated by the proposed pipeline. This paper also describes the specification oforks have been proposed for human recog-nition using point clouds captured by LiDAR. However, the performance of these networks strongl the pipeline and data details with evaluations of various approaches.

Following the improvements in deep neural networks, state-of-the-art networks have been proposed for human segmentation using point clouds captured by light detection and ranging. However, the performance of these networks depends significantly on the training data. An issue with collecting training data is labeling. Labeling by humans is necessary to obtain ground-truth labels; however, labeling involves high costs. Therefore, we propose an automatically labeled data generation pipeline, for which we can change any parameters or data generation environments. Our approach uses a human model named Dhaiba and the background of Miraikan to generate realistic artificial data. We present 1M data generated by the proposed pipeline. Furthermore, we propose an ensemble learning based on generated data for utilizing our data generation pipeline. This paper proposes the specifications of the pipeline, data details, and explanation of ensemble learning with evaluations of various approaches.

In this paper, we propose an automatic labeled sequential data generation pipeline for human segmentation and velocity estimation with point clouds. Considering the impact of deep neural networks, state-of-the-art network architectures have been proposed for human recognition using point clouds captured by Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR). However, almost all conventional datasets are either a collection of single LiDAR scanning with label information or sequential LiDAR scanning without label information. This limitation has disturbed the progress of research to date. Therefore, we have developed an automatic labeled sequential data generation pipeline, in which we can control any parameter or data generation environment with pixel-wise and per-frame ground truth segmentation and pixel-wise velocity information for human recognition. Our approach uses a precise human model and reproduces a precise motion to generate realistic artificial data. We present more than 7K sequences, where each sequence consists of 32 frames generated by the proposed pipeline. With the proposed sequence generator, we confirm that human segmentation performance is improved when using the sequential data compared to when using the data from a single LiDAR scan. We also evaluate our data by comparing with data generated under different conditions. In addition, we estimate pedestrian velocity with LiDAR by only utilizing data generated by the proposed pipeline.

This study proposes a route prediction method using a self-organizing incremental neural network. The route trajectory is predicted from two location parameters (the latitude and longitude of the middle of a tropical storm) and the meteorological information (the atmospheric pressure). The method accurately predicted the normalized atmospheric pressure data of East Asia in the topological space of latitude and longitude, with low calculation cost. This paper explains the algorithms for training the self-organizing incremental neural network, the procedure for refining the datasets and the method for predicting the storm trajectory. The effectiveness of the proposed method was confirmed in experiments. With the results of experiments, possibility of prediction model improvement is discussed. Additionally, this paper explains the limitations of proposed method and brief solution to resolve. Although the proposed method was applied only to typhoon phenomena in the present study, it is potentially applicable to a wide range of global problems.
