AutoPhoto: Aesthetic Photo Capture using Reinforcement Learning

Hadi AlZayer, Hubert Lin, Kavita Bala

The process of capturing a well-composed photo is difficult and it takes years of experience to master. We propose a novel pipeline for an autonomous agent to automatically capture…

Learning Material-Aware Local Descriptors for 3D Shapes

Hubert Lin, Melinos Averkiou, Evangelos Kalogerakis +5

Material understanding is critical for design, geometric modeling, and analysis of functional objects. We enable material-aware 3D shape analysis by employing a projective convolut…

What Can Style Transfer and Paintings Do For Model Robustness?

Hubert Lin, Mitchell van Zuijlen, Sylvia C. Pont +2

A common strategy for improving model robustness is through data augmentations. Data augmentations encourage models to learn desired invariances, such as invariance to horizontal f…

DeepSemanticHPPC: Hypothesis-based Planning over Uncertain Semantic Point Clouds

Yutao Han, Hubert Lin, Jacopo Banfi +2

Planning in unstructured environments is challenging -- it relies on sensing, perception, scene reconstruction, and reasoning about various uncertainties. We propose DeepSemanticHP…

Block Annotation: Better Image Annotation for Semantic Segmentation with Sub-Image Decomposition

Hubert Lin, Paul Upchurch, Kavita Bala

Image datasets with high-quality pixel-level annotations are valuable for semantic segmentation: labelling every pixel in an image ensures that rare classes and small objects are a…

Materials In Paintings (MIP): An interdisciplinary dataset for perception, art history, and computer vision

Mitchell J. P. van Zuijlen, Hubert Lin, Kavita Bala +2

A painter is free to modify how components of a natural scene are depicted, which can lead to a perceptually convincing image of the distal world. This signals a major difference b…
