Human skeletons and RGB sequences are both widely-adopted input modalities for human action recognition. However, skeletons lack appearance features and color data suffer large amount of irrelevant depiction. To address this, we introduce…

The skeleton of a digital image is a compact representation of its topology, geometry, and scale. It has utility in many computer vision applications, such as image description, segmentation, and registration. However, skeletonization has…

Each year thousands of people suffer from various types of cranial injuries and require personalized implants whose manual design is expensive and time-consuming. Therefore, an automatic, dedicated system to increase the availability of…

We consider the problem of obese human mesh recovery, i.e., fitting a parametric human mesh to images of obese people. Despite obese person mesh fitting being an important problem with numerous applications (e.g., healthcare), much recent…

We consider the problem of extracting curve skeletons of three-dimensional, elongated objects given a noisy surface, which has applications in agricultural contexts such as extracting the branching structure of plants. We describe an…

There is high demand for online fashion recommender systems that incorporate the needs of the consumer's body shape. As such, we present a methodology to classify human body shape from a single image. This is achieved through the use of…

Estimating 3D human pose and shape from a single image is highly under-constrained. To address this ambiguity, we propose a novel prior, namely kinematic dictionary, which explicitly regularizes the solution space of relative 3D rotations…

We introduce a novel deep learning framework for data-driven motion retargeting between skeletons, which may have different structure, yet corresponding to homeomorphic graphs. Importantly, our approach learns how to retarget without…

Recent advances in interactive keypoint estimation methods have enhanced accuracy while minimizing user intervention. However, these methods require user input for error correction, which can be costly in vertebrae keypoint estimation where…

We present a novel method for reconstructing clothed humans from a sparse set of, e.g., 1 to 6 RGB images. Despite impressive results from recent works employing deep implicit representation, we revisit the volumetric approach and…

In this paper we give a new, efficient algorithm for computing curve skeletons, based on local separators. Our efficiency stems from a multilevel approach, where we solve small problems across levels of detail and combine these in order to…

In this paper, we propose a structured feature learning framework to reason the correlations among body joints at the feature level in human pose estimation. Different from existing approaches of modelling structures on score maps or…

Topological phase transitions, which do not adhere to Landau's phenomenological model (i.e. a spontaneous symmetry breaking process and vanishing local order parameters) have been actively researched in condensed matter physics. Machine…

This paper proposes a simple yet effective method to learn the hierarchical object shape model consisting of local contour fragments, which represents a category of shapes in the form of an And-Or tree. This model extends the traditional…

Local protein structure analysis is informative to protein structure analysis and has been used successfully in protein structure prediction and others. Proteins have recurring structural features, such as helix caps and beta turns, which…

Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a widely used surgical procedure in orthopedics. For THA, it is of clinical significance to analyze the bone structure from the CT images, especially to observe the structure of the acetabulum and femoral…

We introduce a new pattern recognition algorithm for track finding in High Energy Physics Experiments based on an extension of the Hough Transform to multiple dimensions. A remarkable property of this algorithm is that the execution time is…

This paper presents a novel framework to recover \emph{detailed} avatar from a single image. It is a challenging task due to factors such as variations in human shapes, body poses, texture, and viewpoints. Prior methods typically attempt to…

Human motion understanding and prediction is an integral aspect in our pursuit of machine intelligence and human-machine interaction systems. Current methods typically pursue a kinematics modeling approach, relying heavily upon prior…

Accurate human shape recovery from a monocular RGB image is a challenging task because humans come in different shapes and sizes and wear different clothes. In this paper, we propose ShapeBoost, a new human shape recovery framework that…
