Motivation: Behavioral observations are an important resource in the study and evaluation of psychological phenomena, but it is costly, time-consuming, and susceptible to bias. Thus, we aim to automate coding of human behavior for use in…
Human keypoint detection from a single image is very challenging due to occlusion, blur, illumination and scale variance of person instances. In this paper, we find that context information plays an important role in addressing these…
Understanding humans from photographs has always been a fundamental goal of computer vision. In this thesis we have developed a hierarchy of tools that cover a wide range of topics with the objective of understanding humans from monocular…
Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) is essential for the transparency and clinical adoption of Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS). However, the real-world effectiveness of existing XAI methods remains limited and is…
Human-object interaction (HOI) detection plays a key role in high-level visual understanding, facilitating a deep comprehension of human activities. Specifically, HOI detection aims to locate the humans and objects involved in interactions…
Client-Side Scanning (CSS) see in the Child Sexual Abuse Material Detection (CSAMD) represent ubiquitous mass scanning. Apple proposed to scan their systems for such imagery. CSAMD was since pushed back, but the European Union decided to…
Childhood Sexual Abuse (CSA) is a menace to society and has long-lasting effects on the mental health of the survivors. From time to time CSA survivors are haunted by various mental health issues in their lifetime. Proper care and attention…
Human pose estimation has given rise to a broad spectrum of novel and compelling applications, including action recognition, sports analysis, as well as surveillance. However, accurate video pose estimation remains an open challenge. One…
Nine language-vision AI models trained on web scrapes with the Contrastive Language-Image Pretraining (CLIP) objective are evaluated for evidence of a bias studied by psychologists: the sexual objectification of girls and women, which…
The typical bottom-up human pose estimation framework includes two stages, keypoint detection and grouping. Most existing works focus on developing grouping algorithms, e.g., associative embedding, and pixel-wise keypoint regression that we…
This paper examines the use of computer vision algorithms to estimate aspects of the psychosocial work environment using CCTV footage. We present a proof of concept for a methodology that detects and tracks people in video footage and…
Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a prevalent motor disability in children, for which early detection can significantly improve treatment outcomes. While skeleton-based Graph Convolutional Network (GCN) models have shown promise in automatically…
Human pose estimation aims at localizing human anatomical keypoints or body parts in the input data (e.g., images, videos, or signals). It forms a crucial component in enabling machines to have an insightful understanding of the behaviors…
Working with Child Sexual Exploitation Material (CSEM) in forensic applications might be benefited from the progress in automatic face recognition. However, discriminative parts of a face in CSEM, i.e., mostly the eyes, could be often…
Understanding interactions between humans and objects is one of the fundamental problems in visual classification and an essential step towards detailed scene understanding. Human-object interaction (HOI) detection strives to localize both…
The Aesthetics Assessment of Children's Paintings (AACP) is an important branch of the image aesthetics assessment (IAA), playing a significant role in children's education. This task presents unique challenges, such as limited available…
Human pose estimation, the process of identifying joint positions in a person's body from images or videos, represents a widely utilized technology across diverse fields, including healthcare. One such healthcare application involves in-bed…
Identifying potential abuses of human rights through imagery is a novel and challenging task in the field of computer vision, that will enable to expose human rights violations over large-scale data that may otherwise be impossible. While…
Open-vocabulary human-object interaction (HOI) detection, which is concerned with the problem of detecting novel HOIs guided by natural language, is crucial for understanding human-centric scenes. However, prior zero-shot HOI detectors…
Accurate localization of cephalometric landmarks holds great importance in the fields of orthodontics and orthognathics due to its potential for automating key point labeling. In the context of landmark detection, particularly in…
