   Fully Understanding Generic Objects: Modeling, Segmentation, and Reconstruction

   Feng Liu, Luan Tran, Xiaoming Liu

   Inferring 3D structure of a generic object from a 2D image is a long-standing objective of computer vision. Conventional approaches either learn completely from CAD-generated synthetic data, which have difficulty in inference from real images, or generate 2.5D depth image via intrinsic decomposition, which is limited compared to the ...

   Learning Implicit Functions for Topology-Varying Dense 3D Shape Correspondence

   Feng Liu, Xiaoming Liu

   The goal of this paper is to learn dense 3D shape correspondence for topology-varying objects in an unsupervised manner. Conventional implicit functions estimate the occupancy of a 3D point given a shape latent code. Instead, our novel implicit function produces a part embedding vector for each 3D point, which is ...

   The Edge of Depth: Explicit Constraints between Segmentation and Depth

   Shengjie Zhu, Garrick Brazil, Xiaoming Liu

   In this work we study the mutual benefits of two common computer vision tasks, self-supervised depth estimation and semantic segmentation from images. For example, to help unsupervised monocular depth estimation, constraints from semantic segmentation has been explored implicitly such as sharing and transforming features. In contrast, we propose to explicitly ...

   Recurrent Flow-Guided Semantic Forecasting

   Adam M. Terwilliger, Garrick Brazil, Xiaoming Liu

   Understanding the world around us and making decisions about the future is a critical component to human intelligence. As autonomous systems continue to develop, their ability to reason about the future will be the key to their success. Semantic anticipation is a relatively under-explored area for which autonomous vehicles could ...

   Illuminating Pedestrians via Simultaneous Detection & Segmentation

   Garrick Brazil, Xi Yin, Xiaoming Liu

   Pedestrian detection is a critical problem in computer vision with significant impact on safety in urban autonomous driving. In this work, we explore how semantic segmentation can be used to boost pedestrian detection accuracy while having little to no impact on network efficiency. We propose a segmentation infusion network to ...

   Image Segmentation of Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Diverse Culturing Conditions

   Muhammad Jamal Afridi, Chun Liu, Christina Chan, Seungik Baek, Xiaoming Liu

   Researchers in the areas of regenerative medicine and tissue engineering have an enormous interest in understanding the relationship of different sets of culturing conditions and applied mechanical stimuli on the behavior of Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs). However, it remains a challenge to design a general tool to perform automatic cell ...
