Bayes Security: A Not So Average Metric

Carmela González Troncoso, Giovanni Cherubin

Security system designers favor worst-case security metrics, such as those derived from differential privacy (DP), due to the strong guarantees they provide. On the downside, these guarantees result in a high penalty on the system's performance. In this pa ...

A generic diffusion-based approach for 3D human pose prediction in the wild

Alexandre Massoud Alahi, Saeed Saadatnejad, Taylor Ferdinand Mordan

Predicting 3D human poses in real-world scenarios, also known as human pose forecasting, is inevitably subject to noisy inputs arising from inaccurate 3D pose estimations and occlusions. To address these challenges, we propose a diffusion-based approach th ...

Center-Based Decoupled Point Cloud Registration for 6D Object Pose Estimation

Mathieu Salzmann, Jiancheng Yang, Zheng Dang

In this paper, we propose a novel center-based decoupled point cloud registration framework for robust 6D object pose estimation in real-world scenarios. Our method decouples the translation from the entire transformation by predicting the object center an ...
