The emergence of neural networks has revolutionized the field of motion synthesis. Yet, learning to unconditionally synthesize motions from a given distribution remains challenging, especially when the motions are highly diverse. In this work, we present MoDi - a generative model trained in an unsupervised setting from an extremely diverse, unstructured and unlabeled dataset. During inference, MoD...Show More
We present a multi-sensor system for consistent 3D hand pose tracking and modeling that leverages the advantages of both wearable and optical sensors. Specifically, we employ a stretch-sensing soft glove and three IMUs in combination with an RGB-D camera. Different sensor modalities are fused based on the availability and confidence estimation, enabling seamless hand tracking in challenging enviro...Show More
We introduce pointwise map smoothness via the Dirich-let energy into the functional map pipeline, and propose an algorithm for optimizing it efficiently, which leads to highquality results in challenging settings. Specifically, we first formulate the Dirichlet energy of the pulled-back shape coordinates, as a way to evaluate smoothness of a pointwise map across discrete surfaces. We then extend th...Show More
Neural implicit functions have emerged as a powerful representation for surfaces in 3D. Such a function can en-code a high quality surface with intricate details into the parameters of a deep neural network. However, optimizing for the parameters for accurate and robust reconstructions remains a challenge, especially when the input data is noisy or incomplete. In this work, we develop a hybrid neu...Show More
We propose a novel learnable representation for detail preserving shape deformation. The goal of our method is to warp a source shape to match the general structure of a target shape, while preserving the surface details of the source. Our method extends a traditional cage-based deformation technique, where the source shape is enclosed by a coarse control mesh termed cage, and translations prescri...Show More
We present a detail-driven deep neural network for point set upsampling. A high-resolution point set is essential for point-based rendering and surface reconstruction. Inspired by the recent success of neural image super-resolution techniques, we progressively train a cascade of patch-based upsampling networks on different levels of detail end-to-end. We propose a series of architectural design co...Show More
In this video we present soft self-sensing capacitive arrays and demonstrate their use in capturing dense surface deformations without requiring line of sight. The capacitive arrays are made of two electrode patterns embedded into a single silicone compound. The overlaps of the electrode strip patterns form local capacitors. As the sensor is stretched the local capacitance measurements change. We ...Show More
Recent deep learning approaches to single image superresolution have achieved impressive results in terms of traditional error measures and perceptual quality. However, in each case it remains challenging to achieve high quality results for large upsampling factors. To this end, we propose a method (ProSR) that is progressive both in architecture and training: the network upsamples an image in int...Show More

This paper reviews the 2nd NTIRE challenge on single image super-resolution (restoration of rich details in a low resolution image) with focus on proposed solutions and results. The challenge had 4 tracks. Track 1 employed the standard bicubic downscaling setup, while Tracks 2, 3 and 4 had realistic unknown downgrading operators simulating camera image acquisition pipeline. The operators were lear...Show More
Point sets generated by image-based 3D reconstruction techniques are often much noisier than those obtained using active techniques like laser scanning. Therefore, they pose greater challenges to the subsequent surface reconstruction (meshing) stage. We present a simple and effective method for removing noise and outliers from such point sets. Our algorithm uses the input images and corresponding ...Show More
Objects with thin features and fine details are challenging for most multi-view stereo techniques, since such features occupy small volumes and are usually only visible in a small portion of the available views. In this paper, we present an efficient algorithm to reconstruct intricate objects using densely sampled light fields. At the heart of our technique lies a novel approach to compute per-pix...Show More
Many scenes that we would like to reconstruct contain articulated objects, and are often captured by only a single, non-fixed camera. Existing techniques for reconstructing articulated objects either require templates, which can be challenging to acquire, or have difficulties with perspective effects and missing data. In this paper, we present a novel reconstruction pipeline that first treats each...Show More
Data acquisition, numerical inaccuracies, and sampling often introduce noise in measurements and simulations. Removing this noise is often necessary for efficient analysis and visualization of this data, yet many denoising techniques change the minima and maxima of a scalar field. For example, the extrema can appear or disappear, spatially move, and change their value. This can lead to wrong inter...Show More
