Taking an image of an object is at its core a lossy process. The rich information about the three-dimensional structure of the world is flattened to an image plane and decisions such as viewpoint and camera parameters are final and not…

In this paper, we introduce the new task of reconstructing 3D human pose from a single image in which we can see the person and the person's image through a mirror. Compared to general scenarios of 3D pose estimation from a single view, the…
We present a transformation-grounded image generation network for novel 3D view synthesis from a single image. Instead of taking a 'blank slate' approach, we first explicitly infer the parts of the geometry visible both in the input and…
To what extent are two images picturing the same 3D surfaces? Even when this is a known scene, the answer typically requires an expensive search across scale space, with matching and geometric verification of large sets of local features.…

This paper studies the problem of identifying directions of axial symmetry in multivariate distributions. Theoretical results are derived on how the measure or cardinality of the set of symmetry directions relates to spherical symmetry. The…
Change in viewpoint is one of the major factors for variation in object appearance across different images. Thus, view-invariant object recognition is a challenging and important image understanding task. In this paper, we propose a method…
Full 3D scanning can efficiently be obtained using structured light scanning combined with a rotation stage. In this setting it is, however, necessary to reposition the object and scan it in different poses in order to cover the entire…
Symmetry is an important composition feature by investigating similar sides inside an image plane. It has a crucial effect to recognize man-made or nature objects within the universe. Recent symmetry detection approaches used a smoothing…
We study analogical trajectory transfer, where the goal is to translate motion trajectories in one 3D environment to a semantically analogous location in another. Such a capacity would enable machines to perform analogical spatial…
