Human-behavior-understanding Engine: Video-recognition AI Library for Understanding Human Behavior
Motohiro Takagi · NTT technical review · 2023
To enable all many types of work to be conducted remotely as needed and overcome geographical constraints, NTT Human Informatics Laboratories is developing telepresence technology for understanding the conditions at a remote location and remotely operate an artificial body, such as a robot, in real time.Remote operation of an artificial body requires that conditions at a remote location be analyzed and information on operating the artificial body and on people and the environment in the vicinity of the artificial body be fed back to the operator in real time.This article introduces the development of a human-behavior-understanding engine for automatically recognizing human behavior from camera video to recognize how people at a remote location might behave.Real-time recognition processing is vital to providing a remote operator with feedback in real time.For this engine, we developed technology for achieving lightweight recognition processing, enabling the behavior of multiple people to be recognized in real time on a central-processing-unit-based machine.
