Learning to Represent and Reconstruct 3D Deformable Objects

Representing and reconstructing 3D deformable shapes are two tightly linked problems that have long been studied within the computer vision field. Deformable shapes are truly ubiquitous in the real world, whether be it specific object classes such as human ...

Neural Parts: Learning Expressive 3D Shape Abstractions with Invertible Neural Networks

Angelos Katharopoulos

Impressive progress in 3D shape extraction led to representations that can capture object geometries with high fidelity. In parallel, primitive-based methods seek to represent objects as semantically consistent part arrangements. However, due to the simpli ...

Multi-View Shape Estimation of Transparent Containers

Pascal Frossard, Apostolos Modas, Andrea Cavallaro

The 3D localisation of an object and the estimation of its properties, such as shape and dimensions, are challenging under varying degrees of transparency and lighting conditions. In this paper, we propose a method for jointly localising container-like obj ...

Graph-based regularization of inverse problems in imaging

Mattia Rossi

As of today, the extension of the human visual capabilities to machines remains both a cornerstone and an open challenge in the attempt to develop intelligent systems. On the one hand, the development of more and more sophisticated imaging devices, capable ...

Accurate Nod and 3D Gaze Estimation for Social Interaction Analysis

Yu Yu

Non-verbal behaviours play an important role in human communication since it can indicate human attention, serve as communication cue in interactions, or even reveal higher level personal constructs. For instance, head nod, a common non-verbal behaviour, c ...

Global Auto-regressive Depth Recovery via Iterative Non-local Filtering

Pascal Frossard

Existing depth sensing techniques have many shortcomings in terms of resolution, completeness, and accuracy. The performance of 3-D broadcasting systems is therefore limited by the challenges of capturing high-resolution depth data. In this paper, we prese ...

Solving the Depth Ambiguity in Single-Perspective Images

Sabine Süsstrunk, Majed El Helou, Marjan Shahpaski

Scene depth estimation is gaining in importance as more and more AR/VR and robot vision applications are developed. Conventional depth-from-defocus techniques can passively provide depth maps from a single image. This is especially advantageous for moving ...

Real-Time 3D Hand Pose Estimation with 3D Convolutional Neural Networks

Daniel Thalmann, Hui Liang

In this paper, we present a novel method for real-time 3D hand pose estimation from single depth images using 3D Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). Image-based features extracted by 2D CNNs are not directly suitable for 3D hand pose estimation due to th ...

3D Box Proposals from a Single Monocular Image of an Indoor Scene

Mathieu Salzmann

Modern object detection methods typically rely on bounding box proposals as input. While initially popularized in the 2D case, this idea has received increasing attention for 3D bounding boxes. Nevertheless, existing 3D box proposal techniques all assume h ...

Learning to Reconstruct Texture-less Deformable Surfaces from a Single View

Pascal Fua, Mathieu Salzmann, Jan Bednarík

Recent years have seen the development of mature solutions for reconstructing deformable surfaces from a single image, provided that they are relatively well-textured. By contrast, recovering the 3D shape of texture-less surfaces remains an open problem, a ...

A Combined Approach Toward Consistent Reconstructions of Indoor Spaces Based on 6D RGB-D Odometry and KinectFusion

Nadia Barbara Figueroa Fernandez

We propose a 6D RGB-D odometry approach that finds the relative camera pose between consecutive RGB-D frames by keypoint extraction and feature matching both on the RGB and depth image planes. Furthermore, we feed the estimated pose to the highly accurate ...

3D Geometry Representation using Multiview Coding of Image Tiles

Pascal Frossard, Thomas Maugey

Compression of dynamic 3D geometry obtained from depth sensors is challenging, because noise and temporal inconsistency inherent in acquisition of depth data means there is no one-to-one correspondence between sets of 3D points in consecutive time instants ...
