Efficiently detecting outlying behavior in video-game players

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a method for automatically detecting the times during which game players exhibit specific behavior, such as when players commonly show excitement, concentration, immersion, and surprise. The proposed method detects such outlying behavior based on the game players’ characteristics. These characteristics are captured non-invasively in a general game environment. In this paper, cameras were used to analyze observed data such as facial expressions and player movements. Moreover, multimodal data from the game players (i.e., data regarding adjustments to the volume and the use of the keyboard and mouse) was used to analyze high-dimensional game-player data. A support vector machine was used to efficiently detect outlying behaviors. We verified the effectiveness of the proposed method using games from several genres. The recall rate of the outlying behavior pre-identified by industry experts was approximately 70%. The proposed method can also be used for feedback analysis of various interactive content provided in PC environments.

Morphological analysis of dendrites and spines by hybridization of ridge detection with twin support vector machine

“…We did not use artificial neural network ( Hernandez-Serna & Jimenez-Segura, 2014 ) since it may suffer from overfitting. The principle of the standard SVM involves setting up two parallel planes so that each is nearest to one of two datasets with the two planes being as far apart as possible ( Kim et al, 2015 ; Modinos et al, 2013 ; Wu & Zhang, 2012 ; Zhang & Wang, 2015 ). The planes are described as which lie midway between the bounding planes provided by …”

Using Computer Vision for Student-Centred Remote Lab in Electronics

“…They use a rigid registration transform to cope with small out of plane head rotations and change in scale. In [10] authors use the sum of movement variations of landmark points that belong to a certain facial component as input features for a neural network. Other approaches use optical flow estimation techniques applied on a face image directly and use it to detect facial movements.…”

“…Since a real-time approach is more important than an accurate one for pose estimation, we use a simple geometric method that can estimate the coarse pose of student's head by analyzing the angles of a triangle made by connecting the eyes and the tip of the nose. The same approach is used in [10]. Due to the symmetry of the human face, a triangle formed by connecting the eyes and the tip of the nose in a frontal picture is isosceles.…”

Insights to Video Analytic Modelling Approach with Future Line of Research

“…The study also assists in formulating correlation among different online users. Kim et al [42] have developed a technique that can perform identification of outlying behaviour of user. The analytical module design by the authors considers the inputs as movement of users from webcam and that apply multimodal feature for collecting data followed by data refinement.…”
