Human instance matting aims to estimate an alpha matte for each human instance in an image, which is extremely challenging and has rarely been studied so far. Despite some efforts to use instance segmentation to generate a trimap for each…
In multi-objective optimization, designing good benchmark problems is an important issue for improving solvers. Controlling the global location of Pareto optima in existing benchmark problems has been problematic, and it is even more…
Map-to-map matching is a critical task for aligning spatial data across heterogeneous sources, yet it remains challenging due to the lack of ground truth correspondences, sparse node features, and scalability demands. In this paper, we…
This work studies fundamental limits for recovering the underlying correspondence among multiple correlated graphs. In the setting of inhomogeneous random graphs, we present and analyze a matching algorithm: first partially match the graphs…
A homotopy method for multi-objective optimization that produces uniformly sampled Pareto fronts by construction is presented. While the algorithm is general, of particular interest is application to simulation-based engineering…
We identify a new and important global (or non-binary) constraint. This constraint ensures that the values taken by two vectors of variables, when viewed as multisets, are ordered. This constraint is useful for a number of different…
We investigate refined algebraic quantisation within a family of classically equivalent constrained Hamiltonian systems that are related to each other by rescaling a momentum-type constraint. The quantum constraint is implemented by a…
In this paper, we propose an iterative algorithm to address the nonconvex multi-group multicast beamforming problem with quality-of-service constraints and per-antenna power constraints. We formulate a convex relaxation of the problem as a…
We prove a number of new restrictions on the enumerative properties of homology manifolds and semi-Eulerian complexes and posets. These include a determination of the affine span of the fine $h$-vector of balanced semi-Eulerian complexes…
Camera calibration is a fundamental prerequisite for reliable geometric perception, yet classical approaches rely on controlled acquisition setups that are impractical for in-the-wild imagery. Recent learning-based methods have shown…
Fusion and inference from multiple and massive disparate data sources - the requirement for our most challenging data analysis problems and the goal of our most ambitious statistical pattern recognition methodologies - -has many and varied…
Detecting multiple planes in images is a challenging problem, but one with many applications. Recent work such as J-Linkage and Ordered Residual Kernels have focussed on developing a domain independent approach to detect multiple…
We propose a method to generate cutting-planes from multiple covers of knapsack constraints. The covers may come from different knapsack inequalities if the weights in the inequalities form a totally-ordered set. Thus, we introduce and…
Correct fusion of data from two sensors is not possible without an accurate estimate of their relative pose, which can be determined through the process of extrinsic calibration. When two or more sensors are capable of producing their own…
We devise a projection-free iterative scheme for the approximation of harmonic maps that provides a second-order accuracy of the constraint violation and is unconditionally energy stable. A corresponding error estimate is valid under a mild…
We address the problem of merging graph and feature-space information while learning a metric from structured data. Existing algorithms tackle the problem in an asymmetric way, by either extracting vectorized summaries of the graph…
In general it requires at least 7 point correspondences to compute the fundamental matrix between views. We use the cross ratio invariance between corresponding epipolar lines, stemming from epipolar line homography, to derive a simple…
In this paper, we present a new way of matching in observational studies that overcomes three limitations of existing matching approaches. First, it directly balances covariates with multi-valued treatments without requiring the generalized…
We consider the problem of joint estimation of structured covariance matrices. Assuming the structure is unknown, estimation is achieved using heterogeneous training sets. Namely, given groups of measurements coming from centered…
Estimating the head pose of a person is a crucial problem for numerous applications that is yet mainly addressed as a subtask of frontal pose prediction. We present a novel method for unconstrained end-to-end head pose estimation to tackle…
