Detecting Road Obstacles by Erasing Them

Pascal Fua, Mathieu Salzmann, Krzysztof Maciej Lis, Sina Honari

Vehicles can encounter a myriad of obstacles on the road, and it is impossible to record them all beforehand to train a detector. Instead, we select image patches and inpaint them with the surrounding road texture, which tends to remove obstacles from thos ...

Visual question answering from another perspective: CLEVR mental rotation tests *

Sina Honari

Different types of mental rotation tests have been used extensively in psychology to understand human visual reasoning and perception. Understanding what an object or visual scene would look like from another viewpoint is a challenging problem that is made ...

Perspective Aware Road Obstacle Detection

Pascal Fua, Mathieu Salzmann, Krzysztof Maciej Lis, Sina Honari

While road obstacle detection techniques have become increasingly effective, they typically ignore the fact that, in practice, the apparent size of the obstacles decreases as their distance to the vehicle increases. In this letter, we account for this by c ...

Adversarial Parametric Pose Prior

Pascal Fua, Mathieu Salzmann, Anastasia Remizova, Victor Constantin, Sina Honari, Andrey Davydov

The Skinned Multi-Person Linear (SMPL) model represents human bodies by mapping pose and shape parameters to body meshes. However, not all pose and shape parameter values yield physically-plausible or even realistic body meshes. In other words, SMPL is und ...

Temporal Representation Learning on Monocular Videos for 3D Human Pose Estimation

Pascal Fua, Mathieu Salzmann, Helge Jochen Rhodin, Victor Constantin, Sina Honari

In this paper we propose an unsupervised feature extraction method to capture temporal information on monocular videos, where we detect and encode subject of interest in each frame and leverage contrastive self-supervised (CSS) learning to extract rich lat ...

On Triangulation as a Form of Self-Supervision for 3D Human Pose Estimation

Pascal Fua, Sina Honari, Leonardo Citraro, Soumava Kumar Roy

Supervised approaches to 3D pose estimation from single images are remarkably effective when labeled data is abundant. However, as the acquisition of ground-truth 3D labels is labor intensive and time consuming, recent attention has shifted towards semi- a ...

Overcoming the Domain Gap in Neural Action Representations

Pascal Fua, Pavan P Ramdya, Florian Aymanns, Semih Günel, Sina Honari

Relating behavior to brain activity in animals is a fundamental goal in neuroscience, with practical applications in building robust brain-machine interfaces. However, the domain gap between individuals is a major issue that prevents the training of genera ...

SegmentMeIfYouCan: A Benchmark for Anomaly Segmentation

Pascal Fua, Sina Honari

State-of-the-art semantic or instance segmentation deep neural networks (DNNs) are usually trained on a closed set of semantic classes. As such, they are ill-equipped to handle previously-unseen objects. However, detecting and localizing such objects is cr ...
