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…

Whole-body pose and shape estimation aims to jointly predict different behaviors (e.g., pose, hand gesture, facial expression) of the entire human body from a monocular image. Existing methods often exhibit degraded performance under the…

Human modelling and pose estimation stands at the crossroads of Computer Vision, Computer Graphics, and Machine Learning. This paper presents a thorough investigation of this interdisciplinary field, examining various algorithms,…

We propose a viewpoint invariant model for 3D human pose estimation from a single depth image. To achieve this, our discriminative model embeds local regions into a learned viewpoint invariant feature space. Formulated as a multi-task…

Monocular estimation of 3d human pose has attracted increased attention with the availability of large ground-truth motion capture datasets. However, the diversity of training data available is limited and it is not clear to what extent…

The two-stage object pose estimation paradigm first detects semantic keypoints on the image and then estimates the 6D pose by minimizing reprojection errors. Despite performing well on standard benchmarks, existing techniques offer no…

6D pose estimation is crucial for augmented reality, virtual reality, robotic manipulation and visual navigation. However, the problem is challenging due to the variety of objects in the real world. They have varying 3D shape and their…

The estimation of 6D poses of rigid objects is a fundamental problem in computer vision. Traditionally pose estimation is concerned with the determination of a single best estimate. However, a single estimate is unable to express visual…

Visual localization is the task of estimating the camera pose of an image relative to a scene representation. In practice, visual localization systems are often cloud-based. Naturally, this raises privacy concerns in terms of revealing…

Occlusion is commonplace in realistic human-robot shared environments, yet its effects are not considered in standard 3D human pose estimation benchmarks. This leaves the question open: how robust are state-of-the-art 3D pose estimation…

Most 2D human pose estimation frameworks estimate keypoint confidence in an ad-hoc manner, using heuristics such as the maximum value of heatmaps. The confidence is part of the evaluation scheme, e.g., AP for the MSCOCO dataset, yet has…

Visual navigation and three-dimensional (3D) scene reconstruction are essential for robotics to interact with the surrounding environment. Large-scale scenes and critical camera motions are great challenges facing the research community to…

Do object part localization methods produce bilaterally symmetric results on mirror images? Surprisingly not, even though state of the art methods augment the training set with mirrored images. In this paper we take a closer look into this…

Visual localization is the problem of estimating the camera pose of a given query image within a known scene. Most state-of-the-art localization approaches follow the structure-based paradigm and use 2D-3D matches between pixels in a query…

Can freely moving humans or animals themselves serve as calibration targets for multi-camera systems while simultaneously estimating their correspondences across views? We humans can solve this problem by mentally rotating the observed 2D…

Estimating the head pose of a person is a crucial problem for numerous applications that is yet mainly addressed as a subtask of frontal pose prediction. We present a novel method for unconstrained end-to-end head pose estimation to tackle…

Accurate state estimation is a fundamental component of robotic control. In robotic manipulation tasks, as is our focus in this work, state estimation is essential for identifying the positions of objects in the scene, forming the basis of…

For building a Augmented Reality (AR) pipeline, the most crucial step is the camera calibration as overall quality heavily depends on it. In turn camera calibration itself is influenced most by the choice of camera-to-pattern poses - yet…

Camera with a fisheye or ultra-wide lens covers a wide field of view that cannot be modeled by the perspective projection. Serious fisheye lens distortion in the peripheral region of the image leads to degraded performance of the existing…

In this paper, we study imitation learning under the challenging setting of: (1) only a single demonstration, (2) no further data collection, and (3) no prior task or object knowledge. We show how, with these constraints, imitation learning…
