Data-Driven Shape Analysis and Processing
Data-driven methods play an increasingly important role in discovering
geometric, structural, and semantic relationships between 3D shapes in
collections, and applying this analysis to support intelligent modeling,
editing, and visualization of geometric data. In contrast to traditional
approaches, a key feature of data-driven approaches is that they aggregate
information from a collection of shapes to improve the analysis and processing
of individual shapes. In addition, they are able to learn models that reason
about properties and relationships of shapes without relying on hard-coded
rules or explicitly programmed instructions. We provide an overview of the main
concepts and components of these techniques, and discuss their application to
shape classification, segmentation, matching, reconstruction, modeling and
exploration, as well as scene analysis and synthesis, through reviewing the
literature and relating the existing works with both qualitative and numerical
comparisons. We conclude our report with ideas that can inspire future research
in data-driven shape analysis and processing.Comment: 10 pages, 19 figure
Recycle-GAN: Unsupervised Video Retargeting
We introduce a data-driven approach for unsupervised video retargeting that
translates content from one domain to another while preserving the style native
to a domain, i.e., if contents of John Oliver's speech were to be transferred
to Stephen Colbert, then the generated content/speech should be in Stephen
Colbert's style. Our approach combines both spatial and temporal information
along with adversarial losses for content translation and style preservation.
In this work, we first study the advantages of using spatiotemporal constraints
over spatial constraints for effective retargeting. We then demonstrate the
proposed approach for the problems where information in both space and time
matters such as face-to-face translation, flower-to-flower, wind and cloud
synthesis, sunrise and sunset.Comment: ECCV 2018; Please refer to project webpage for videos -

Task Driven Generative Modeling for Unsupervised Domain Adaptation: Application to X-ray Image Segmentation
Automatic parsing of anatomical objects in X-ray images is critical to many
clinical applications in particular towards image-guided invention and workflow
automation. Existing deep network models require a large amount of labeled
data. However, obtaining accurate pixel-wise labeling in X-ray images relies
heavily on skilled clinicians due to the large overlaps of anatomy and the
complex texture patterns. On the other hand, organs in 3D CT scans preserve
clearer structures as well as sharper boundaries and thus can be easily
delineated. In this paper, we propose a novel model framework for learning
automatic X-ray image parsing from labeled CT scans. Specifically, a Dense
Image-to-Image network (DI2I) for multi-organ segmentation is first trained on
X-ray like Digitally Reconstructed Radiographs (DRRs) rendered from 3D CT
volumes. Then we introduce a Task Driven Generative Adversarial Network
(TD-GAN) architecture to achieve simultaneous style transfer and parsing for
unseen real X-ray images. TD-GAN consists of a modified cycle-GAN substructure
for pixel-to-pixel translation between DRRs and X-ray images and an added
module leveraging the pre-trained DI2I to enforce segmentation consistency. The
TD-GAN framework is general and can be easily adapted to other learning tasks.
In the numerical experiments, we validate the proposed model on 815 DRRs and
153 topograms. While the vanilla DI2I without any adaptation fails completely
on segmenting the topograms, the proposed model does not require any topogram
labels and is able to provide a promising average dice of 85% which achieves
the same level accuracy of supervised training (88%)
