Robust Subspace Learning: Robust PCA, Robust Subspace Tracking, and Robust Subspace Recovery
PCA is one of the most widely used dimension reduction techniques. A related
easier problem is "subspace learning" or "subspace estimation". Given
relatively clean data, both are easily solved via singular value decomposition
(SVD). The problem of subspace learning or PCA in the presence of outliers is
called robust subspace learning or robust PCA (RPCA). For long data sequences,
if one tries to use a single lower dimensional subspace to represent the data,
the required subspace dimension may end up being quite large. For such data, a
better model is to assume that it lies in a low-dimensional subspace that can
change over time, albeit gradually. The problem of tracking such data (and the
subspaces) while being robust to outliers is called robust subspace tracking
(RST). This article provides a magazine-style overview of the entire field of
robust subspace learning and tracking. In particular solutions for three
problems are discussed in detail: RPCA via sparse+low-rank matrix decomposition
(S+LR), RST via S+LR, and "robust subspace recovery (RSR)". RSR assumes that an
entire data vector is either an outlier or an inlier. The S+LR formulation
instead assumes that outliers occur on only a few data vector indices and hence
are well modeled as sparse corruptions.Comment: To appear, IEEE Signal Processing Magazine, July 201
Tex2Shape: Detailed Full Human Body Geometry From a Single Image
We present a simple yet effective method to infer detailed full human body shape from only a single photograph. Our model can infer full-body shape including face, hair, and clothing including wrinkles at interactive frame-rates. Results feature details even on parts that are occluded in the input image. Our main idea is to turn shape regression into an aligned image-to-image translation problem. The input to our method is a partial texture map of the visible region obtained from off-the-shelf methods. From a partial texture, we estimate detailed normal and vector displacement maps, which can be applied to a low-resolution smooth body model to add detail and clothing. Despite being trained purely with synthetic data, our model generalizes well to real-world photographs. Numerous results demonstrate the versatility and robustness of our method
