Geometric Neural Distance Fields for Learning Human Motion Priors

Zhengdi Yu, Simone Foti, Linguang Zhang +4

We introduce Neural Riemannian Motion Fields (NRMF), a novel 3D generative human motion prior that enables robust, temporally consistent, and physically plausible 3D motion recover…

Intraoperative Liver Surface Completion with Graph Convolutional VAE

Simone Foti, Bongjin Koo, Thomas Dowrick +5

In this work we propose a method based on geometric deep learning to predict the complete surface of the liver, given a partial point cloud of the organ obtained during the surgica…

Air Quality Downscaling with Station-Guided Pseudo-Supervision

Guorun Wang, Simone Foti, Andreas D. Demou +5

Super-resolving coarse atmospheric fields to local PM variations is uniquely challenged by a mismatch in spatial support: while pixels represent regional averages, ground-t…

Parallelised Differentiable Straightest Geodesics for 3D Meshes

Hippolyte Verninas, Caner Korkmaz, Stefanos Zafeiriou +2

Machine learning has been progressively generalised to operate within non-Euclidean domains, but geometrically accurate methods for learning on surfaces are still falling behind. T…

Latent Disentanglement in Mesh Variational Autoencoders Improves the Diagnosis of Craniofacial Syndromes and Aids Surgical Planning

Simone Foti, Alexander J. Rickart, Bongjin Koo +9

The use of deep learning to undertake shape analysis of the complexities of the human head holds great promise. However, there have traditionally been a number of barriers to accur…

3D Generative Model Latent Disentanglement via Local Eigenprojection

Simone Foti, Bongjin Koo, Danail Stoyanov +1

Designing realistic digital humans is extremely complex. Most data-driven generative models used to simplify the creation of their underlying geometric shape do not offer control o…

UV-free Texture Generation with Denoising and Geodesic Heat Diffusions

Simone Foti, Stefanos Zafeiriou, Tolga Birdal

Seams, distortions, wasted UV space, vertex-duplication, and varying resolution over the surface are the most prominent issues of the standard UV-based texturing of meshes. These i…

3D Shape Variational Autoencoder Latent Disentanglement via Mini-Batch Feature Swapping for Bodies and Faces

Simone Foti, Bongjin Koo, Danail Stoyanov +1

Learning a disentangled, interpretable, and structured latent representation in 3D generative models of faces and bodies is still an open problem. The problem is particularly acute…
