V2V-PoseNet: Voxel-to-Voxel Prediction Network for Accurate 3D Hand and Human Pose Estimation from a Single Depth Map
Most of the existing deep learning-based methods for 3D hand and human pose
estimation from a single depth map are based on a common framework that takes a
2D depth map and directly regresses the 3D coordinates of keypoints, such as
hand or human body joints, via 2D convolutional neural networks (CNNs). The
first weakness of this approach is the presence of perspective distortion in
the 2D depth map. While the depth map is intrinsically 3D data, many previous
methods treat depth maps as 2D images that can distort the shape of the actual
object through projection from 3D to 2D space. This compels the network to
perform perspective distortion-invariant estimation. The second weakness of the
conventional approach is that directly regressing 3D coordinates from a 2D
image is a highly non-linear mapping, which causes difficulty in the learning
procedure. To overcome these weaknesses, we firstly cast the 3D hand and human
pose estimation problem from a single depth map into a voxel-to-voxel
prediction that uses a 3D voxelized grid and estimates the per-voxel likelihood
for each keypoint. We design our model as a 3D CNN that provides accurate
estimates while running in real-time. Our system outperforms previous methods
in almost all publicly available 3D hand and human pose estimation datasets and
placed first in the HANDS 2017 frame-based 3D hand pose estimation challenge.

InLoc: Indoor Visual Localization with Dense Matching and View Synthesis
We seek to predict the 6 degree-of-freedom (6DoF) pose of a query photograph
with respect to a large indoor 3D map. The contributions of this work are
three-fold. First, we develop a new large-scale visual localization method
targeted for indoor environments. The method proceeds along three steps: (i)
efficient retrieval of candidate poses that ensures scalability to large-scale
environments, (ii) pose estimation using dense matching rather than local
features to deal with textureless indoor scenes, and (iii) pose verification by
virtual view synthesis to cope with significant changes in viewpoint, scene
layout, and occluders. Second, we collect a new dataset with reference 6DoF
poses for large-scale indoor localization. Query photographs are captured by
mobile phones at a different time than the reference 3D map, thus presenting a
realistic indoor localization scenario. Third, we demonstrate that our method
significantly outperforms current state-of-the-art indoor localization
approaches on this new challenging data
Deep Exemplar 2D-3D Detection by Adapting from Real to Rendered Views
This paper presents an end-to-end convolutional neural network (CNN) for
2D-3D exemplar detection. We demonstrate that the ability to adapt the features
of natural images to better align with those of CAD rendered views is critical
to the success of our technique. We show that the adaptation can be learned by
compositing rendered views of textured object models on natural images. Our
approach can be naturally incorporated into a CNN detection pipeline and
extends the accuracy and speed benefits from recent advances in deep learning
to 2D-3D exemplar detection. We applied our method to two tasks: instance
detection, where we evaluated on the IKEA dataset, and object category
detection, where we out-perform Aubry et al. for "chair" detection on a subset
of the Pascal VOC dataset.Comment: To appear in CVPR 201
