Temporal Representation Learning on Monocular Videos for 3D Human Pose Estimation

Pascal Fua, Mathieu Salzmann, Helge Jochen Rhodin, Sina Honari, Victor Constantin

In this paper we propose an unsupervised feature extraction method to capture temporal information on monocular videos, where we detect and encode subject of interest in each frame and leverage contrastive self-supervised (CSS) learning to extract rich lat ...

Hidden Markov Modeling Over Graphs

Ali H. Sayed, Stefan Vlaski, Virginia Bordignon, Mert Kayaalp

This work proposes a multi-agent filtering algorithm over graphs for finite-state hidden Markov models (HMMs), which can be used for sequential state estimation or for tracking opinion formation over dynamic social networks. We show that the difference fro ...

VIODE: A Simulated Dataset to Address the Challenges of Visual-Inertial Odometry in Dynamic Environments

Dario Floreano, Fabian Maximilian Schilling, Valentin Wüest

Dynamic environments such as urban areas are still challenging for popular visual-inertial odometry (VIO) algorithms. Existing datasets typically fail to capture the dynamic nature of these environments, therefore making it difficult to quantitatively eval ...

MonStereo: When Monocular and Stereo Meet at the Tail of 3D Human Localization

Alexandre Massoud Alahi, Sven Kreiss, Taylor Ferdinand Mordan, Lorenzo Bertoni

Monocular and stereo visions are cost-effective solutions for 3D human localization in the context of self-driving cars or social robots. However, they are usually developed independently and have their respective strengths and limitations. We propose a no ...

Perceiving Humans: from Monocular 3D Localization to Social Distancing

Alexandre Massoud Alahi, Sven Kreiss, Lorenzo Bertoni

Perceiving humans in the context of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) often relies on multiple cameras or expensive LiDAR sensors. In this work, we present a new cost-effective vision-based method that perceives humans' locations in 3D and their bod ...
