For physical human-robot interactions (pHRI), a robot needs to estimate the accurate body pose of a target person. However, in these pHRI scenarios, the robot cannot fully observe the target person's body with equipped cameras because the target person must be close to the robot for physical interaction. This close distance leads to severe truncation and occlusions and thus results in poor accurac...Show More
Safety-critical applications such as autonomous vehicles and social robots require fast computation and accurate probability density estimation on trajectory prediction. To address both requirements, this paper presents a new normalizing flow-based trajectory prediction model named FlowChain. FlowChain is a stack of conditional continuously-indexed flows (CIFs) that are expressive and allow analyt...Show More
This paper presents a motion data augmentation scheme incorporating motion synthesis encouraging diversity and motion correction imposing physical plausibility. This motion synthesis consists of our modified Variational AutoEncoder (VAE) and Inverse Kinematics (IK). In this VAE, our proposed sampling-near-samples method generates various valid motions even with insufficient training motion data. O...Show More
This paper reviews the NTIRE2021 challenge on burst super-resolution. Given a RAW noisy burst as input, the task in the challenge was to generate a clean RGB image with 4 times higher resolution. The challenge contained two tracks; Track 1 evaluating on synthetically generated data, and Track 2 using real-world bursts from mobile camera. In the final testing phase, 6 teams submitted results using ...Show More
Human motion prediction is seldom deployed to real-world tasks due to difficulty in collecting a huge amount of motion data. We propose two motion data augmentation approaches using Variational AutoEn-coder (VAE) and Inverse Kinematics (IK). Our VAE-based generative model with adversarial training and sampling near samples generates various motions even with insufficient original motion data. Our ...Show More
This paper proposes a framework for automatically annotating the keypoints of a human body in images for learning 2D pose estimation models. While considerable contributions in the community provide us a huge number of pose-annotated images, all of them mainly focus on people wearing common clothes, which are relatively easy to annotate the body keypoints. This paper, on the other hand, focuses on...Show More
