S \(^2\) Contact: Graph-Based Network for 3D Hand-Object Contact Estimation with Semi-supervised Learning
Despite the recent efforts in accurate 3D annotations in hand and object datasets, there still exist gaps in 3D hand and object reconstructions. Existing works leverage contact maps to refine inaccurate hand-o...

Combining Task Predictors via Enhancing Joint Predictability
Predictor combination aims to improve a (target) predictor of a learning task based on the (reference) predictors of potentially relevant tasks, without having access to the internals of individual predictors....

Improving Shape Deformation in Unsupervised Image-to-Image Translation
Unsupervised image-to-image translation techniques are able to map local texture between two domains, but they are typically unsuccessful when the domains require larger shape change. Inspired by semantic segm...

Monitoring Dementia with Automatic Eye Movements Analysis
Eye movement patterns are found to reveal human cognitive and mental states that can not be easily measured by other biological signals. With the rapid development of eye tracking technologies, there are growi...

Semi-supervised Learning Based on Joint Diffusion of Graph Functions and Laplacians
We observe the distances between estimated function outputs on data points to create an anisotropic graph Laplacian which, through an iterative process, can itself be regularized. Our algorithm is instantiated...

Denoising Strategies for Time-of-Flight Data
When considering the task of denoising ToF data, two issues arise concerning the optimal strategy. The first one is the choice of an appropriate denoising method and its adaptation to ToF data, the second one ...

Background Inpainting for Videos with Dynamic Objects and a Free-Moving Camera
We propose a method for removing marked dynamic objects from videos captured with a free-moving camera, so long as the objects occlude parts of the scene with a static background. Our approach takes as input a...
