Recovering 3D object pose and shape from a single image is a challenging and ill-posed problem. This is due to strong (self-)occlusions, depth ambiguities, the vast intra- and inter-class shape variance, and the lack of 3D ground truth for…

Recently, human pose estimation mainly focuses on how to design a more effective and better deep network structure as human features extractor, and most designed feature extraction networks only introduce the position of each anatomical…

Various recent methods attempt to implement rotation-invariant 3D deep learning by replacing the input coordinates of points with relative distances and angles. Due to the incompleteness of these low-level features, they have to undertake…

In sports, such as alpine skiing, coaches would like to know the speed and various biomechanical variables of their athletes and competitors. Existing methods use either body-worn sensors, which are cumbersome to setup, or manual image…

Location determination finds wide applications in daily life. Instead of existing efforts devoted to localizing tourist photos captured by perspective cameras, in this article, we focus on devising person positioning solutions using…

We propose an end-to-end architecture for joint 2D and 3D human pose estimation in natural images. Key to our approach is the generation and scoring of a number of pose proposals per image, which allows us to predict 2D and 3D poses of…

We address the problem of identifying individual cetaceans from images showing the trailing edge of their fins. Given the trailing edge from an unknown individual, we produce a ranking of known individuals from a database. The nicks and…

Both appearance cue and constraint cue are vital for human pose estimation. However, there is a tendency in most existing works to overfitting the former and overlook the latter. In this paper, we propose Augmentation by Information…

Current human pose estimation systems focus on retrieving an accurate 3D global estimate of a single person. Therefore, this paper presents one of the first 3D multi-person human pose estimation systems that is able to work in real-time and…

The common approach to 3D human pose estimation is predicting the body joint coordinates relative to the hip. This works well for a single person but is insufficient in the case of multiple interacting people. Methods predicting absolute…

We often encounter limited FOV situations due to various factors such as sensor fusion or sensor mount in real-world robot navigation. However, the limited FOV interrupts the generation of descriptions and impacts place recognition…

This paper presents Adaptive Whole-body Loco-Manipulation, AdaptManip, a fully autonomous framework for humanoid robots to perform integrated navigation, object lifting, and delivery. Unlike prior imitation learning-based approaches that…

In the robot follow-ahead task, a mobile robot is tasked to maintain its relative position in front of a moving human actor while keeping the actor in sight. To accomplish this task, it is important that the robot understand the full 3D…

We present GraPLUS (Graph-based Placement Using Semantics), a novel framework for plausible object placement in images that leverages scene graphs and large language models. Our approach uniquely combines graph-structured scene…

3D occupancy prediction aims to infer dense, voxel-wise scene semantics from sensor observations, where the 2D-to-3D view transformation serves as a crucial step in bridging image features and volumetric representations. Most previous…
