Pose estimation is an important technique for nonverbal human-robot interaction. That said, the presence of a camera in a person's space raises privacy concerns and could lead to distrust of the robot. In this paper, we propose a privacy-preserving camera-based pose estimation method. The proposed system consists of a user-controlled translucent filter that covers the camera and an image enhancement module designed to facilitate pose estimation from the filtered (shadow) images, while never capturing clear images of the user. We evaluate the system's performance on a new filtered image dataset, considering the effects of distance from the camera, background clutter, and film thickness. Based on our findings, we conclude that our system can protect humans' privacy while detecting humans' pose information effectively.

Magnetic resonance imaging has been widely applied in clinical diagnosis, however, is limited by its long data acquisition time. Although imaging can be accelerated by sparse sampling and parallel imaging, achieving promising reconstruction images with a fast reconstruction speed remains a challenge. Recently, deep learning approaches have attracted a lot of attention for its encouraging reconstruction results but without a proper interpretability. In this letter, to enable high-quality image reconstruction for the parallel magnetic resonance imaging, we design the network structure from the perspective of sparse iterative reconstruction and enhance it with the residual structure. The experimental results of a public knee dataset show that compared with the optimization-based method and the latest deep learning parallel imaging methods, the proposed network has less error in reconstruction and is more stable under different acceleration factors.
