As herd size on dairy farms continues to increase, automatic health monitoring of cows is gaining in interest. Lameness, a prevalent health disorder in dairy cows, is commonly detected by analyzing the gait of cows. A cow's gait can be…
While gait recognition has seen many advances in recent years, the occlusion problem has largely been ignored. This problem is especially important for gait recognition from uncontrolled outdoor sequences at range - since any small…
Estimating the state of a deformable object is crucial for robotic manipulation, yet accurate tracking is challenging when the object is partially-occluded. To address this problem, we propose an occlusion-robust RGBD sequence tracking…
In order to manipulate a deformable object, such as rope or cloth, in unstructured environments, robots need a way to estimate its current shape. However, tracking the shape of a deformable object can be challenging because of the object's…
Occlusion is one of the challenging issues when estimating 3D hand pose. This problem becomes more prominent when hand interacts with an object or two hands are involved. In the past works, much attention has not been given to these…
Human Pose estimation is a challenging problem, especially in the case of 3D pose estimation from 2D images due to many different factors like occlusion, depth ambiguities, intertwining of people, and in general crowds. 2D multi-person…

Humans constantly interact with daily objects to accomplish tasks. To understand such interactions, computers need to reconstruct these from cameras observing whole-body interaction with scenes. This is challenging due to occlusion between…
This paper develops a method to use RGB-D cameras to track the motions of a human spinal cord injury patient undergoing spinal stimulation and physical rehabilitation. Because clinicians must remain close to the patient during training…
We present a method for human pose tracking that is based on learning spatiotemporal relationships among joints. Beyond generating the heatmap of a joint in a given frame, our system also learns to predict the offset of the joint from a…

Accurate and complete terrain maps enhance the awareness of autonomous robots and enable safe and optimal path planning. Rocks and topography often create occlusions and lead to missing elevation information in the Digital Elevation Map…
Video-based human pose estimation remains challenged by motion blur, occlusion, and complex spatiotemporal dynamics. Existing methods often rely on heatmaps or implicit spatio-temporal feature aggregation, which limits joint topology…
From an image of a person in action, we can easily guess the 3D motion of the person in the immediate past and future. This is because we have a mental model of 3D human dynamics that we have acquired from observing visual sequences of…
