Statistical shape analysis is a very useful tool in a wide range of medical and biological applications. However, it typically relies on the ability to produce a relatively small number of features that can capture the relevant variability…

Learning automatically the structure of object categories remains an important open problem in computer vision. In this paper, we propose a novel unsupervised approach that can discover and learn landmarks in object categories, thus…

Markerless biomechanics increasingly relies on 3D skeletal keypoints extracted from video, yet downstream biomechanical mappings typically treat these estimates as deterministic, providing no principled mechanism for frame-wise quality…

In current biological and medical research, statistical shape modeling (SSM) provides an essential framework for the characterization of anatomy/morphology. Such analysis is often driven by the identification of a relatively small number of…

The detection of anatomical landmarks is a vital step for medical image analysis and applications for diagnosis, interpretation and guidance. Manual annotation of landmarks is a tedious process that requires domain-specific expertise and…

A Point Distribution Model (PDM) is the basis of a Statistical Shape Model (SSM) that relies on a set of landmark points to represent a shape and characterize the shape variation. In this work, we present a self-supervised approach to…

Despite significant algorithmic advances in vision-based positioning, a comprehensive probabilistic framework to study its performance has remained unexplored. The main objective of this paper is to develop such a framework using ideas from…

We present a novel unsupervised learning approach to image landmark discovery by incorporating the inter-subject landmark consistencies on facial images. This is achieved via an inter-subject mapping module that transforms original subject…

We consider Bayesian analysis of a class of multiple changepoint models. While there are a variety of efficient ways to analyse these models if the parameters associated with each segment are independent, there are few general approaches…

Deep neural networks can model images with rich latent representations, but they cannot naturally conceptualize structures of object categories in a human-perceptible way. This paper addresses the problem of learning object structures in an…

We investigate the problem of estimating the 3D shape of an object, given a set of 2D landmarks in a single image. To alleviate the reconstruction ambiguity, a widely-used approach is to confine the unknown 3D shape within a shape space…

The reliability assessment of a machine learning model's prediction is an important quantity for the deployment in safety critical applications. Not only can it be used to detect novel sceneries, either as out-of-distribution or anomaly…

In any other circumstance, it might make sense to define the extent of the terrain (Data Science) first, and then locate and describe the landmarks (Principles). But this data revolution we are experiencing defies a cadastral survey. Areas…

We consider the problem of landmark matching between two unlabelled point sets, in particular where the number of points in each cloud may differ, and where points in each cloud may not have a corresponding match. We invoke a Bayesian…

We study a class of mathematical and statistical algorithms with the aim of establishing a computer-based framework for fast and reliable automatic abnormality detection on landmark represented image templates. Under this framework, we…

Landmarks are important features of spatial cognition. Landmarks are naturally included in human route descriptions and in the past algorithms were developed to select the most salient landmarks at decision points and automatically…

We address the problem of vehicle self-localization from multi-modal sensor information and a reference map. The map is generated off-line by extracting landmarks from the vehicle's field of view, while the measurements are collected…

We present an approach for safe motion planning under robot state and environment (obstacle and landmark location) uncertainties. To this end, we first develop an approach that accounts for the landmark uncertainties during robot…

3D anatomical landmarks play an important role in health research. Their automated prediction/localization thus becomes a vital task. In this paper, we introduce a deformation method for 3D anatomical landmarks prediction. It utilizes a…

Vision based localization is a popular approach to carry out manoeuvres particularly in GPS-restricted indoor environments, because vision can complement other activities performed by the robot. The objective is to estimate the current…
