Single-image human mesh recovery is a challenging task due to the ill-posed nature of simultaneous body shape, pose, and camera estimation. Existing estimators work well on images taken from afar, but they break down as the person moves close to the camera. Moreover, current methods fail to achieve…
Recent breakthroughs in single-image 3D portrait reconstruction have enabled telepresence systems to stream 3D portrait videos from a single camera in real-time, democratizing telepresence. However, per-frame 3D reconstruction exhibits temporal inconsistency and forgets the user's appearance. On the…
Planes, lines, and cylinders widely exist in man-made environments. This letter introduces a LiDAR simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) system using those three types of landmarks. Our algorithm has three components including local mapping, global mapping, and localization. The local and glo
This paper introduces an efficient direct visual odometry (VO) algorithm using points and lines. Pixels on lines are generally adopted in direct methods. However, the original photometric error is only defined for points. It seems difficult to extend it to lines. In previous works, the collinear con…
In this letter, we present a direct visual odometry (VO) using points and lines. Direct methods generally choose pixels with sufficient gradients to minimize the photometric error for the status estimation. Pixels on lines are generally involved in this process. But the collinear constraint among th
This paper introduces a real-time dense planar LiDAR SLAM system, named π-LSAM, for the indoor environment. The widely used LiDAR odometry and mapping (LOAM) framework [1] does not include bundle adjustment (BA) and generates a low fidelity tracking pose. This paper seeks to overcome these drawbacks…
Estimating pose from given 3D correspondences, including point-to-point, point-to-line and point-to-plane correspondences, is a fundamental task in computer vision with many applications. We present a fast and accurate solution for the least-squares problem of this task. Previous works mainly focus…
