To date, machine learning for human action recognition in video has been widely implemented in sports activities. Although some studies have been successful in the past, precision is still the most significant concern. In this study, we…
3D object detection is a key module for safety-critical robotics applications such as autonomous driving. For these applications, we care most about how the detections affect the ego-agent's behavior and safety (the egocentric perspective).…
Effective placement of Out-of-Home advertising and street furniture requires accurate identification of locations offering maximum visual exposure to target audiences, particularly vehicular traffic. Traditional site selection methods often…
Oriented object detection in aerial images is a challenging task as the objects in aerial images are displayed in arbitrary directions and are usually densely packed. Current oriented object detection methods mainly rely on two-stage…
Cross-View object geo-localization (CVOGL) aims to precisely determine the geographic coordinates of a query object from a ground or drone perspective by referencing a satellite map. Segmentation-based approaches offer high precision but…
This paper addresses the challenge of automated sports video analysis, which has traditionally been limited by computationally intensive models requiring server-side processing and lacking fine-grained understanding of athletic movements.…
We present the Object-Based Sub-Environment Recognition (OBSER) framework, a novel Bayesian framework that infers three fundamental relationships between sub-environments and their constituent objects. In the OBSER framework, metric and…
Practical object pose estimation demands robustness against occlusions to the target object. State-of-the-art (SOTA) object pose estimators take a two-stage approach, where the first stage predicts 2D landmarks using a deep network and the…
Despite recent advances in deep-learning based semantic segmentation, automatic building detection from remotely sensed imagery is still a challenging problem owing to large variability in the appearance of buildings across the globe. The…
The main objective of this work is to develop a miniaturized, high accuracy, single-turn absolute, rotary encoder called ASTRAS360. Its measurement principle is based on capturing an image that uniquely identifies the rotation angle. To…
Traditional approaches to measuring visual exploratory behavior in soccer rely on counting visual exploratory actions (VEAs) based on rapid head movements exceeding 125{\deg}/s, but this method suffer from player position bias (i.e., a…
Calibrating sports cameras is important for autonomous broadcasting and sports analysis. Here we propose a highly automatic method for calibrating sports cameras from a single image using synthetic data. First, we develop a novel camera…
Arbitrary-oriented object detection has been a building block for rotation sensitive tasks. We first show that the boundary problem suffered in existing dominant regression-based rotation detectors, is caused by angular periodicity or…
Current deep models provide remarkable object detection in terms of object classification and localization. However, estimating object rotation with respect to other visual objects in the visual context of an input image still lacks deep…
Visual Odometry (VO) is one of the fundamental tasks in computer vision for robotics. However, its performance is deeply affected by High Dynamic Range (HDR) scenes, omnipresent outdoor. While new Automatic-Exposure (AE) approaches to…
