Unsupervised Visual Entity Abstraction towards 2D and 3D Compositional Models

Object-centric learning has gained significant attention over the last years as it can serve as a powerful tool to analyze complex scenes as a composition of simpler entities. Well-established tasks in computer vision, such as object detection or instance ...

Analysis and Modeling of the Dynamics of Traction Forces during Cell Polarization and their Role in the Organization of Edge Activity

Zeno Messi

The capacity to break symmetry and organize activity to move directionally is a fundamental property of eukaryotic cells. To explain the organization of cell-edge activity, models commonly rely on front-to-back gradients of functional components or regulat ...

A Stochastic Conditioning Scheme for Diverse Human Motion Prediction

Mathieu Salzmann, Fatemehsadat Saleh

Human motion prediction, the task of predicting future 3D human poses given a sequence of observed ones, has been mostly treated as a deterministic problem. However, human motion is a stochastic process: Given an observed sequence of poses, multiple future ...

Motion Prediction Using Temporal Inception Module

Pascal Fua, Mathieu Salzmann, Sena Kiciroglu, Wei Wang

Human motion prediction is a necessary component for many applications in robotics and autonomous driving. Recent methods propose using sequence-to-sequence deep learning models to tackle this problem. However, they do not focus on exploiting different tem ...

Global Auto-regressive Depth Recovery via Iterative Non-local Filtering

Pascal Frossard, Jingyu Yang, Xinchen Ye

Existing depth sensing techniques have many shortcomings in terms of resolution, completeness, and accuracy. The performance of 3-D broadcasting systems is therefore limited by the challenges of capturing high-resolution depth data. In this paper, we prese ...

Streaming From a Moving Platform with Real-Time and Playback Distortion Constraints

Laura Toni, Giuseppe Cocco

Video streaming from remotely controlled moving platforms such as drones have stringent constraints in terms of delay. In some applications such videos have to provide real-time visual feedback to the pilot with an acceptable distortion while satisfying hi ...

Comparison of Compression Efficiency between HEVC/H.265, VP9 and AV1 based on Subjective Quality Assessments

Touradj Ebrahimi, Pinar Akyazi

The growing requirements for broadcasting and streaming of high quality video continue to trigger demands for codecs with higher compression efficiency. AV1 is the most recent open and royalty free video coding specification developed by Alliance for Open ...

Preliminary Study: Effects of Visual Distortion on Standing Balance Motion Amplitude and Visual Dependency on an Unstable Surface

Hannes Bleuler, Mohamed Bouri, Olaf Blanke, Jemina Fasola

Visual feedback is a common method to enhance motor learning and is widely used in rehabilitation institutes. Although balance training with visual feedback has shown positive results, the most effective way to provide the feedback is still open to researc ...

Controlling motion artefact levels in MR images by suspending data acquisition during periods of head motion

Bogdan Draganski

Purpose: Head movements are a major source of MRI artefacts. Prospective motion correction techniques significantly improve data quality, but strong motion artefacts may remain in the data. We introduce a framework to suspend data acquisition during period ...

Rate Distortion Optimized Graph Partitioning for Omnidirectional Image Coding

Pascal Frossard, Francesca De Simone, Thomas Maugey, Mira Rizkallah

Omnidirectional images are spherical signals captured by cameras with 360-degree field of view. In order to be compressed using existing encoders, these signals are mapped to planar domain. A commonly used planar representation is the equirectangular one, ...

Deformable block based motion estimation in omnidirectional image sequences

Pascal Frossard, Francesca De Simone

This paper presents an extension of block-based motion estimation for omnidirectional videos, based on a camera and translational object motion model that accounts for the spherical geometry of the imaging system. We use this model to design a new algorith ...

Unpredictability does not hamper nonretinotopic motion perception

Michael Herzog, Marc Michael Lauffs

The motion of parts of an object is usually perceived relative to the object, i.e., nonretinotopically, rather than in retinal coordinates. For example, we perceive a reflector to rotate on the wheel of a moving bicycle even though its trajectory is cycloi ...

Motion-based nearest vector metric for reference frame selection in the perception of motion

Michael Herzog, Aaron Michael Clarke

We investigated how the visual system selects a reference frame for the perception of motion. Two concentric arcs underwent circular motion around the center of the display, where observers fixated. The outer (target) arc's angular velocity profile was mod ...

Encoder-Driven Inpainting Strategy in Multiview Video Compression

Pascal Frossard, Thomas Maugey, Yu Gao

In free viewpoint video systems, where a user has the freedom to select a virtual view from which an observation image of the 3D scene is rendered, the scene is commonly represented by texture and depth images from multiple nearby viewpoints. In such repre ...

Temporal and Inter-view Consistent Error Concealment Technique for Multiview plus Depth Video Broadcasting

Pascal Frossard, Thomas Maugey

Multiview plus depth (MVD) is an emerging video format with many applications, including 3-D television and free viewpoint television. During the broadcast of a compressed MVD video, transmission errors may cause the loss of whole frames, resulting in sign ...

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 ...

Motion Correction in Magnetic Resonance Imaging Using the Signal of Free-Induction-Decay

Maryna Volodimirivna Waszak

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is highly susceptible to subject's motion and can significantly degrade image quality. In brain MRI exams, involuntary head movements can affect the sampled k-space data. Such unintended alterations may result in visible im ...

Geometry-driven quantization for omnidirectional image coding

Pascal Frossard, Francesca De Simone

In this paper we propose a method to adapt the quantization tables of typical block-based transform codecs when the input to the encoder is a panoramic image resulting from equirectangular projection of a spherical image. When the visual content is project ...

Spatial properties of non-retinotopic reference frames in human vision

Michael Herzog

Many visual attributes of a target stimulus are computed according to dynamic, non-retinotopic reference frames. For example, the motion trajectory of a reflector on a bicycle wheel is perceived as orbital, even though it is in fact cycloidal in retinal, a ...

The effective reference frame in perceptual judgments of motion direction

Michael Herzog

The retinotopic projection of stimulus motion depends both on the motion of the stimulus and the movements of the observer. In this study, we aimed to quantify the contributions of endogenous (retinotopic) and exogenous (spatiotopic and motion-based) refer ...
