Social-Transmotion: Promptable Human Trajectory Prediction

Alexandre Massoud Alahi, Saeed Saadatnejad, Yang Gao, Kaouther Messaoud Ben Amor

Accurate human trajectory prediction is crucial for applications such as autonomous vehicles, robotics, and surveillance systems. Yet, existing models often fail to fully leverage the non-verbal social cues human subconsciously communicate when navigating ...

Rigidity-Aware Detection for 6D Object Pose Estimation

Mathieu Salzmann, Yinlin Hu

Most recent 6D object pose estimation methods first use object detection to obtain 2D bounding boxes before actually regressing the pose. However, the general object detection methods they use are ill-suited to handle cluttered scenes, thus producing poor ...

Radatron: Accurate Detection Using Multi-resolution Cascaded MIMO Radar

Haitham Al Hassanieh, Junfeng Guan

Millimeter wave (mmWave) radars are becoming a more popular sensing modality in self-driving cars due to their favorable characteristics in adverse weather. Yet, they currently lack sufficient spatial resolution for semantic scene understanding. In this pa ...

Pedestrian 3D Bounding Box Prediction

Alexandre Massoud Alahi, Saeed Saadatnejad, Yi Zhou Ju

Safety is still the main issue of autonomous driving, and in order to be globally deployed, they need to predict pedestrians' motions sufficiently in advance. While there is a lot of research on coarse-grained (human center prediction) and fine-grained pre ...

Sound and Complete Verification of Polynomial Networks

Volkan Cevher, Grigorios Chrysos, Fanghui Liu, Elias Abad Rocamora, Mehmet Fatih Sahin

Polynomial Networks (PNs) have demonstrated promising performance on face and image recognition recently. However, robustness of PNs is unclear and thus obtaining certificates becomes imperative for enabling their adoption in real-world applications. Exist ...

Pedestrian Intention Prediction: A Multi-task Perspective

Alexandre Massoud Alahi, Saeed Saadatnejad

In order to be globally deployed, autonomous cars must guarantee the safety of pedestrians. This is the reason why forecasting pedestrians' intentions sufficiently in advance is one of the most critical and challenging tasks for autonomous vehicles. This w ...

Neural Scene Decomposition for Multi-Person Motion Capture

Pascal Fua, Mathieu Salzmann, Helge Jochen Rhodin, Isinsu Katircioglu, Victor Constantin

Learning general image representations has proven key to the success of many computer vision tasks. For example, many approaches to image understanding problems rely on deep networks that were initially trained on ImageNet, mostly because the learned featu ...

Real-Time Seamless Single Shot 6D Object Pose Prediction

Pascal Fua, Bugra Tekin

We propose a single-shot approach for simultaneously detecting an object in an RGB image and predicting its 6D pose without requiring multiple stages or having to examine multiple hypotheses. Unlike a recently proposed single-shot technique for this task [ ...

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 ...

Improving Spatial Data Processing by Clipping Minimum Bounding Boxes

Anastasia Ailamaki, Eleni Tzirita Zacharatou, Darius Sidlauskas

The majority of spatial processing techniques rely heavily on the idea of approximating each group of spatial objects by their minimum bounding box (MBB). As each MBB is compact to store (requiring only two multi-dimensional points) and intersection tests ...

Chaining Mutual Information and Tightening Generalization Bounds

Emmanuel Abbé

Bounding the generalization error of learning algorithms has a long history, which yet falls short in explaining various generalization successes including those of deep learning. Two important difficulties are (i) exploiting the dependencies between the h ...

Formal Analysis of Distance Bounding with Secure Hardware

Serge Vaudenay, Handan Kilinç Alper

A distance bounding (DB) protocol is a two-party authentication protocol between a prover and a verifier which is based on the distance between the prover and the verifier. It aims to defeat threats by malicious provers who try to convince that they are cl ...

Boundary-aware Instance Segmentation

Mathieu Salzmann

We address the problem of instance-level semantic segmentation, which aims at jointly detecting, segmenting and classifying every individual object in an image. In this context, existing methods typically propose candidate objects, usually as bounding boxe ...
