From finger animation to full-body embodiment of avatars with different morphologies and proportions

VR (Virtual Reality) is a real-time simulation that creates the subjective illusion of being in a virtual world. This thesis explores how integrating the user's body and fingers can be achieved and beneficial for the user to experience VR. At the advent of ...

AcinoSet: A 3D Pose Estimation Dataset and Baseline Models for Cheetahs in the Wild

Alexander Mathis, Mackenzie Mathis

Animals are capable of extreme agility, yet understanding their complex dynamics, which have ecological, biomechanical and evolutionary implications, remains challenging. Being able to study this incredible agility will be critical for the development of n ...

Sketch2Mesh: Reconstructing and Editing 3D Shapes from Sketches

Pascal Fua, Benoît Alain René Guillard, Edoardo Remelli, Pierre Mathieu Yvernay

Reconstructing 3D shape from 2D sketches has long been an open problem because the sketches only provide very sparse and ambiguous information. In this paper, we use an encoder/decoder architecture for the sketch to mesh translation. When integrated into a ...

How daylight representation in architectural competitions images can lead to an erroneous interpretation of projects

Bernard Paule, Joshua Pereira

The digital world we are living in today offers viewers an experience of buildings before they even exist. This experience is no longer just geometric or descriptive, but also sensory. It generates emotions through fixed or animated images of 3 dimensional ...

Differentiable inverse rendering based on radiative backpropagation

Wenzel Alban Jakob, Merlin Eléazar Nimier-David

A computer-implemented inverse rendering method is provided. The method comprises: computing an adjoint image by differentiating an objective function that evaluates the quality of a rendered image, image elements of the adjoint image encoding the sensitiv ...

Real-Time Generative Hand Modeling and Tracking

Anastasia Tkach

In our everyday life we interact with the surrounding environment using our hands. A main focus of recent research has been to bring such interaction to virtual objects, such as the ones projected in virtual reality devices, or super-imposed as holograms i ...

Online Generative Model Personalization for Hand Tracking

Mark Pauly, Andrea Tagliasacchi, Edoardo Remelli, Anastasia Tkach

We present a new algorithm for real-time hand tracking on commodity depth-sensing devices. Our method does not require a user-specific calibration session, but rather learns the geometry as the user performs live in front of the camera, thus enabling seaml ...

Dynamical System-based Motion Planning for Multi-Arm Systems: Reaching for moving objects

Aude Billard, Nadia Barbara Figueroa Fernandez, Seyed Sina Mirrazavi Salehian

The use of coordinated multi-arm robotic systems allows to preform manipulations of heavy or bulky objects that would otherwise be infeasible for a single-arm robot. This paper concisely introduces our work on coordinated multi-arm control [Salehian et al. ...

Physics-based Reconstruction and Animation of Humans

Alexandru Eugen Ichim

Creating digital representations of humans is of utmost importance for applications ranging from entertainment (video games, movies) to human-computer interaction and even psychiatrical treatments. What makes building credible digital doubles difficult is ...

Vision-Based Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Detection and Tracking for Sense and Avoid Systems

Pascal Fua, Denis Gillet, Alcherio Martinoli, Vincent Lepetit, Artem Rozantsev, Steven Adriaan Roelofsen, Krishna Raj Sapkota

We propose an approach for on-line detection of small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and estimation of their relative positions and velocities in the 3D environment from a single moving camera in the context of sense and avoid systems. This problem is cha ...

Online modeling for real-time facial animation

Sofien Bouaziz, Mark Pauly

Embodiments relate to a method for real-time facial animation, and a processing device for real-time facial animation. The method includes providing a dynamic expression model, receiving tracking data corresponding to a facial expression of a user, estimat ...

Graph-based compression of dynamic 3D point cloud sequences

Pascal Frossard, Ntorina Thanou

This paper addresses the problem of compression of 3D point cloud sequences that are characterized by moving 3D positions and color attributes. As temporally successive point cloud frames are similar, motion estimation is key to effective compression of th ...

Sphere-Meshes for Real-Time Hand Modeling and Tracking

Mark Pauly, Anastasia Tkach, Andrea Tagliasacchi

Modern systems for real-time hand tracking rely on a combination of discriminative and generative approaches to robustly recover hand poses. Generative approaches require the specification of a geometric model. In this paper, we propose a the use of sphere ...

Motion Vector Estimation of Textureless Objects Exploiting Reaction-Diffusion Cellular Automata

Alexandre Schmid, Kazuyoshi Ishimura

Conventional motion estimation algorithms extract motion vectors from image sequences based on the image's local-brightness differences in consecutive images. Therefore, motion vectors are extracted along the moving edges formed by moving objects over thei ...

Flying Objects Detection from a Single Moving Camera

Pascal Fua, Vincent Lepetit, Artem Rozantsev

We propose an approach to detect flying objects such as UAVs and aircrafts when they occupy a small portion of the field of view, possibly moving against complex backgrounds, and are filmed by a camera that itself moves. Solving such a difficult problem re ...

Tracking Interacting Objects in Image Sequences

Xinchao Wang

Object tracking in image sequences is a key challenge in computer vision. Its goal is to follow objects that move or evolve over time while preserving the identity of each object. However, most existing approaches focus on one class of objects and model on ...

Robust 3D Tracking with Descriptor Fields

Vincent Lepetit, Alberto Crivellaro

We introduce a method that can register challenging images from specular and poorly textured 3D environments, on which previous approaches fail. We assume that a small set of reference images of the environment and a partial 3D model are available. Like pr ...
