We present a fast, practical method for personalizing a hand shape basis to an individual user's detailed hand shape using only a small set of depth images. To achieve this, we minimize an energy based on a sum of render-and-compare cost functions called the golden energy. However, this energy is only piecewise continuous, due to pixels crossing occlusion boundaries, and is therefore not obviously...
Action recognition is a fundamental problem in computer vision. However, all the current approaches pose the problem in a multi-class setting, where each actor is modeled as performing a single action at a time. In this work we pose the action recognition as a multi-label problem, i.e., an actor can be performing any plausible subset of actions. Determining which subsets of labels can co-occur is...
We describe how to learn a compact and efficient model of the surface deformation of human hands. The model is built from a set of noisy depth images of a diverse set of subjects performing different poses with their hands. We represent the observed surface using Loop subdivision of a control mesh that is deformed by our learned parametric shape and pose model. The model simultaneously accounts for...
We propose hinge-loss Markov random fields (HLMRFs), a powerful class of continuous-valued graphical models, for high-level computer vision tasks. HL-MRFs are characterized by log-concave density functions, and are able to perform efficient, exact inference. Their templated hinge-loss potential functions naturally encode soft-valued logical rules. Using the declarative modeling language probabilistic...
We address the problem of appearance-based person re-identification, which has been drawing an increasing amount of attention in computer vision. It is a very challenging task since the visual appearance of a person can change dramatically due to different backgrounds, camera characteristics, lighting conditions, view-points, and human poses. Among the recent studies on person re-id, color information...
We propose a framework that performs action recognition and identity maintenance of multiple targets simultaneously. Instead of first establishing tracks using an appearance model and then performing action recognition, we construct a network flow-based model that links detected bounding boxes across video frames while inferring activities, thus integrating identity maintenance and action recognition...
