We focus on the challenging problem of efficient mouse 3D pose estimation based on static images, and especially single depth images. We introduce an approach to discriminatively train the split nodes of trees in random forest to improve…

A key challenge in the task of human pose and shape estimation is occlusion, including self-occlusions, object-human occlusions, and inter-person occlusions. The lack of diverse and accurate pose and shape training data becomes a major…

3D models of manufactured objects are important for populating virtual worlds and for synthetic data generation for vision and robotics. To be most useful, such objects should be articulated: their parts should move when interacted with.…

We present ANISE, a method that reconstructs a 3D~shape from partial observations (images or sparse point clouds) using a part-aware neural implicit shape representation. The shape is formulated as an assembly of neural implicit functions,…

Pose-driven full-body avatars built on neural rendering produce high-quality novel views of a captured subject. Yet loose clothing and other dynamic elements deform in ways pose alone cannot explain: the same pose can correspond to many…
