Segmented light field images can serve as a powerful representation in many of computer vision tasks exploiting geometry and appearance of objects, such as object pose tracking. In the light field domain, segmentation presents an additional…
In this study, we develop an unsupervised coarse-to-fine video analysis framework and prototype system to extract a salient object in a video sequence. This framework starts from tracking grid-sampled points along temporal frames, typically…
Motions are reflected in videos as the movement of pixels, and actions are essentially patterns of inconsistent motions between the foreground and the background. To well distinguish the actions, especially those with complicated…
Computationally efficient moving object detection and depth estimation from a stereo camera is an extremely useful tool for many computer vision applications, including robotics and autonomous driving. In this paper we show how moving…
De-fencing is to eliminate the captured fence on an image or a video, providing a clear view of the scene. It has been applied for many purposes including assisting photographers and improving the performance of computer vision algorithms…
Tracking pixels in videos is typically studied as an optical flow estimation problem, where every pixel is described with a displacement vector that locates it in the next frame. Even though wider temporal context is freely available, prior…
We propose a novel solution for semi-supervised video object segmentation. By the nature of the problem, available cues (e.g. video frame(s) with object masks) become richer with the intermediate predictions. However, the existing methods…
Learning actions from human demonstration video is promising for intelligent robotic systems. Extracting the exact section and re-observing the extracted video section in detail is important for imitating complex skills because human…
Existing deep learning based unsupervised video object segmentation methods still rely on ground-truth segmentation masks to train. Unsupervised in this context only means that no annotated frames are used during inference. As obtaining…
The segmentation of transparent objects can be very useful in computer vision applications. However, because they borrow texture from their background and have a similar appearance to their surroundings, transparent objects are not handled…
Mobile robots navigating in indoor and outdoor environments must be able to identify and avoid unsafe terrain. Although a significant amount of work has been done on the detection of standing obstacles (solid obstructions), not much work…
Given two consecutive RGB-D images, we propose a model that estimates a dense 3D motion field, also known as scene flow. We take advantage of the fact that in robot manipulation scenarios, scenes often consist of a set of rigidly moving…
We propose a self-supervised visual learning method by predicting the variable playback speeds of a video. Without semantic labels, we learn the spatio-temporal visual representation of the video by leveraging the variations in the visual…
The ability to identify the static background in videos captured by a moving camera is an important pre-requisite for many video applications (e.g. video stabilization, stitching, and segmentation). Existing methods usually face…
We present a model that automatically divides broadcast videos into coherent scenes by learning a distance measure between shots. Experiments are performed to demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach by comparing our algorithm against…
Effective fusion of complementary information captured by multi-modal sensors (visible and infrared cameras) enables robust pedestrian detection under various surveillance situations (e.g. daytime and nighttime). In this paper, we present a…

This paper tackles the problem of video object segmentation, given some user annotation which indicates the object of interest. The problem is formulated as pixel-wise retrieval in a learned embedding space: we embed pixels of the same…
Action detection and temporal segmentation of actions in videos are topics of increasing interest. While fully supervised systems have gained much attention lately, full annotation of each action within the video is costly and impractical…
