Anisotropic Convolutional Networks for 3D Semantic Scene Completion

1 code implementation CVPR 2020 Jie Li, Kai Han, Peng Wang, Yu Liu, Xia Yuan

In contrast to the standard 3D convolution that is limited to a fixed 3D receptive field, our module is capable of modeling the dimensional anisotropy voxel-wisely.

DPGN: Distribution Propagation Graph Network for Few-shot Learning

1 code implementation CVPR 2020 Ling Yang, Liangliang Li, Zilun Zhang, Xinyu Zhou, Erjin Zhou, Yu Liu

To combine the distribution-level relations and instance-level relations for all examples, we construct a dual complete graph network which consists of a point graph and a distribution graph with each node standing for an example.

Rotate-and-Render: Unsupervised Photorealistic Face Rotation from Single-View Images

1 code implementation CVPR 2020 Hang Zhou, Jihao Liu, Ziwei Liu, Yu Liu, Xiaogang Wang

Though face rotation has achieved rapid progress in recent years, the lack of high-quality paired training data remains a great hurdle for existing methods.

KPNet: Towards Minimal Face Detector

no code implementations17 Mar 2020 Guanglu Song, Yu Liu, Yuhang Zang, Xiaogang Wang, Biao Leng, Qingsheng Yuan

The small receptive field and capacity of minimal neural networks limit their performance when using them to be the backbone of detectors.

1st Place Solutions for OpenImage2019 -- Object Detection and Instance Segmentation

2 code implementations17 Mar 2020 Yu Liu, Guanglu Song, Yuhang Zang, Yan Gao, Enze Xie, Junjie Yan, Chen Change Loy, Xiaogang Wang

Given such good instance bounding box, we further design a simple instance-level semantic segmentation pipeline and achieve the 1st place on the segmentation challenge.
