CapeX: Category-Agnostic Pose Estimation from Textual Point Explanation

ICLR 2025poster

Conventional 2D pose estimation models are constrained by their design to specific object categories. This limits their applicability to predefined objects. To overcome these limitations, category-agnostic pose estimation (CAPE) emerged as a solution. CAPE aims to facilitate keypoint localization fo…

Lightning-Fast Image Inversion and Editing for Text-to-Image Diffusion Models

ICLR 2025poster

Diffusion inversion is the problem of taking an image and a text prompt that describes it and finding a noise latent that would generate the exact same image. Most current deterministic inversion techniques operate by approximately solving an implicit equation and may converge slowly or yield poor…

Optimize & Reduce: A Top-Down Approach for Image Vectorization

AAAI 2024technical

Vector image representation is a popular choice when editability and flexibility in resolution are desired. However, most images are only available in raster form, making raster-to-vector image conversion (vectorization) an important task. Classical methods for vectorization are either domain-specif…

SCOOP: Self-Supervised Correspondence and Optimization-Based Scene Flow

CVPR 2023poster

Scene flow estimation is a long-standing problem in computer vision, where the goal is to find the 3D motion of a scene from its consecutive observations. Recently, there have been efforts to compute the scene flow from 3D point clouds. A common approach is to train a regression model that consumes…

Graph Embedded Pose Clustering for Anomaly Detection

CVPR 2020poster

We propose a new method for anomaly detection of human actions. Our method works directly on human pose graphs that can be computed from an input video sequence. This makes the analysis independent of nuisance parameters such as viewpoint or illumination. We map these graphs to a latent space and cl…

Co-Occurrence Neural Network

CVPR 2019poster

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) became a very popular tool for image analysis. Convolutions are fast to compute and easy to store, but they also have some limitations. First, they are shift-invariant and, as a result, they do not adapt to different regions of the image. Second, they have a fixe…

Learning to Sample

CVPR 2019poster

Processing large point clouds is a challenging task. Therefore, the data is often sampled to a size that can be processed more easily. The question is how to sample the data? A popular sampling technique is Farthest Point Sampling (FPS). However, FPS is agnostic to a downstream application (classifi…

Co-Occurrence Filter

CVPR 2017poster

Co-occurrence Filter (CoF) is a boundary preserving filter. It is based on the Bilateral Filter (BF) but instead of using a Gaussian on the range values to preserve edges it relies on a co-occurrence matrix. Pixel values that co-occur frequently in the image (i.e., inside textured regions) will have…

Best-Buddies Similarity for Robust Template Matching

CVPR 2015poster

We propose a novel method for template matching in unconstrained environments. Its essence is the Best Buddies Similarity (BBS), a useful, robust, and parameter-free similarity measure between two sets of points. BBS is based on a count of Best Buddies Pairs (BBPs)--pairs of points in which each one…

Inverting RANSAC: Global Model Detection via Inlier Rate Estimation

CVPR 2015poster

This work presents a novel approach for detecting inliers in a given set of correspondences (matches). It does so without explicitly identifying any consensus set, based on a method for inlier rate estimation (IRE). Given such an estimator for the inlier rate, we also present an algorithm that detec…
