Shape Representation using Gaussian Process mixture models
Traditional explicit 3D representations, such as point clouds and meshes, demand significant storage to capture fine geometric details and require complex indexing systems for surface lookups, making functional representations an efficient, compact, and continuous alternative. In this work, we propose a novel, object-specific functional shape representation that models surface geometry with Gaussian Process (GP) mixture models. Rather than relying on computationally heavy neural architectures, our method is lightweight, leveraging GPs to learn continuous directional distance fields from sparsely sampled point clouds. We capture complex topologies by anchoring local GP priors at strategic reference points, which can be flexibly extracted using any structural decomposition method (e.g. skeletonization, distance-based clustering). Extensive evaluations on the ShapeNetCore and IndustryShapes datasets demonstrate that our method can efficiently and accurately represent complex geometries.

3D-GMNet: Single-View 3D Shape Recovery as A Gaussian Mixture
In this paper, we introduce 3D-GMNet, a deep neural network for 3D object shape reconstruction from a single image. As the name suggests, 3D-GMNet recovers 3D shape as a Gaussian mixture. In contrast to voxels, point clo…

We propose a generic procedure for assessing 6D object pose estimates. Our approach relies on the evaluation of discrepancies in the geometry of the observed object, in particular its respective estimated back-projection…

In the univariate setting, using the kernel spectral representation is an appealing approach for generating stationary covariance functions. However, performing the same task for multiple-output Gaussian processes is sub…
Gaussian ProcessesMinecraftClustering of non-Gaussian data by variational Bayes for normal inverse Gaussian mixture models
Finite mixture models, typically Gaussian mixtures, are well known and widely used as model-based clustering. In practical situations, there are many non-Gaussian data that are heavy-tailed and/or asymmetric. Normal inve…
ClusteringWarped Mixtures for Nonparametric Cluster Shapes
A mixture of Gaussians fit to a single curved or heavy-tailed cluster will report that the data contains many clusters. To produce more appropriate clusterings, we introduce a model which warps a latent mixture of Gaussi…
