Natural scene understanding is a challenging task, particularly when encountering images of multiple objects that are partially occluded. This obstacle is given rise by varying object ordering and positioning. Existing scene understanding…

To fully understand the 3D context of a single image, a visual system must be able to segment both the visible and occluded regions of objects, while discerning their occlusion order. Ideally, the system should be able to handle any object…

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…

Occlusion, where target structures are partially hidden by surgical instruments or overlapping tissues, remains a critical yet underexplored challenge for foundation segmentation models in clinical endoscopy. We introduce OccSAM-Bench, a…

Severe occlusions of objects pose a major challenge for computer vision. We show that two root causes are (1) the loss of visible information and (2) the distracting patterns caused by the occluders. Our approach addresses both causes at…

The presence of occluders significantly impacts object recognition accuracy. However, occlusion is typically treated as an unstructured source of noise and explicit models for occluders have lagged behind those for object appearance and…

Image matching is a fundamental and critical task in various visual applications, such as Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) and image retrieval, which require accurate pose estimation. However, most existing methods ignore the…

Almost all existing amodal segmentation methods make the inferences of occluded regions by using features corresponding to the whole image. This is against the human's amodal perception, where human uses the visible part and the shape prior…
