“…The objective of building human representations is to extract compact, descriptive information (i.e., features) to encode and characterize a human's attributes from perception data (e.g., human shape, pose, and motion), when developing recognition or other human-centered reasoning systems. As an integral component of reasoning systems, approaches to construct human representations have been widely used in a variety of real-world applications, including video analysis [1], surveillance [2], robotics [3], human-machine interaction [4], augmented and virtual reality [5], assistive living [6], smart homes [7], education [8], and many others [9,10,11,12].…”
