This paper presents a novel approach to learn and detect distinctive regions on 3D shapes. Unlike previous works, which require labeled data, our method is unsupervised. We conduct the analysis on point sets sampled from 3D shapes, then…
In three-dimensional models obtained by photogrammetry of existing structures, all of the shapes that the eye can select cannot always find their equivalents in the geometric components of the model. However, the matching of meaningful…
Many man-made objects are characterised by a shape that is symmetric along one or more planar directions. Estimating the location and orientation of such symmetry planes can aid many tasks such as estimating the overall orientation of an…
Most deep pose estimation methods need to be trained for specific object instances or categories. In this work we propose a completely generic deep pose estimation approach, which does not require the network to have been trained on…

Reconstructing 3D geometry and appearance from a sparse set of fixed cameras is a foundational task with broad applications, yet it remains fundamentally constrained by the limited viewpoints. We show that this bound can be broken by…
Existing marker-less motion capture methods often assume known backgrounds, static cameras, and sequence specific motion priors, which narrows its application scenarios. Here we propose a fully automatic method that given multi-view video,…
