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 ...

A Survey of Surface Reconstruction from Point Clouds

Andrea Tagliasacchi

The area of surface reconstruction has seen substantial progress in the past two decades. The traditional problem addressed by surface reconstruction is to recover the digital representation of a physical shape that has been scanned, where the scanned data ...

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 ...

Robust Articulated-ICP for Real-Time Hand Tracking

Mark Pauly, Sofien Bouaziz, Anastasia Tkach, Andrea Tagliasacchi

We present a robust method for capturing articulated hand motions in realtime using a single depth camera. Our system is based on a realtime registration process that accurately reconstructs hand poses by fitting a 3D articulated hand model to depth images ...

High-contrast Computational Caustic Design

Mark Pauly, Andrea Tagliasacchi, Yuliy Gennadievich Schwartzburg, Romain Pierre Testuz

We present a new algorithm for computational caustic design. Our algorithm solves for the shape of a transparent object such that the refracted light paints a desired caustic image on a receiver screen. We introduce an optimal transport formulation to esta ...

Sparse Iterative Closest Point

Mark Pauly, Sofien Bouaziz, Andrea Tagliasacchi

Rigid registration of two geometric data sets is essential in many applications, including robot navigation, surface reconstruction, and shape matching. Most commonly, variants of the Iterative Closest Point (ICP) algorithm are employed for this task. Thes ...
