Deca: Deep viewpoint-equivariant human pose estimation using capsule autoencoders

N Garau, N Bisagno, P Bródka… - 2021 IEEE/CVF …, 2021 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Human Pose Estimation (HPE) aims at retrieving the 3D position of human joints from images
or videos. We show that current 3D HPE methods suffer a lack of viewpoint equivariance, …

Interpretable part-whole hierarchies and conceptual-semantic relationships in neural networks

N Garau, N Bisagno, Z Sambugaro… - 2022 IEEE/CVF …, 2022 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Deep neural networks achieve outstanding results in a large variety of tasks, often outperforming
human experts. However, a known limitation of current neural architectures is the poor …

MoMa: Skinned motion retargeting using masked pose modeling

G Martinelli, N Garau, N Bisagno, N Conci - Computer Vision and Image …, 2024 - Elsevier
Motion retargeting requires to carefully analyze the differences in both skeletal structure and
body shape between source and target characters. Existing skeleton-aware and shape-…

CapsulePose: A variational CapsNet for real-time end-to-end 3D human pose estimation

N Garau, N Conci - Neurocomputing, 2023 - Elsevier
Estimating 3D human poses from images is an ill-posed regression problem, which is usually
tackled by viewpoint-invariant convolutional neural networks (CNNs). Recently, capsule …

Networked Musical XR: where's the limit? A preliminary investigation on the joint use of point clouds and low-latency audio communication

L Turchet, N Garau, N Conci - … of the 17th International Audio Mostly …, 2022 - dl.acm.org
As of today, the field of networked musical XR is in its infancy. While the next generation
networks keep pushing the available bandwidth towards new frontiers, promoting the …

Skeleton-aware motion retargeting using masked pose modeling

G Martinelli, N Garau, N Bisagno, N Conci - European Conference on …, 2024 - Springer
Motion retargeting aims at transferring a given motion from a source character to a target
one. The task becomes increasingly challenging as the differences between the body shape …

Giani Stuparich, a writer torn between his passion for literature and his political and civic commitment

M GARAU - AMMENTU-Bollettino Storico e Archivistico del …, 2025 - centrostudisea.it
Giani Stuparich nacque a Trieste il 4 aprile 1891 da padre istriano e madre ebrea triestina.
Studiò a Praga e poi a Firenze, laureandosi in lettere nel 1915, e si avvicinò al mondo …

SDFoam: Signed-Distance Foam for explicit surface reconstruction

A Rech, N Conci, N Garau - Proceedings of the IEEE/CVF …, 2026 - openaccess.thecvf.com
Neural radiance fields (NeRF) have driven impressive progress in view synthesis by using
ray-traced volumetric rendering. Splatting-based methods such as 3D Gaussian Splatting (…

Fast automatic camera network calibration through human mesh recovery

N Garau, FGB De Natale, N Conci - Journal of Real-Time Image …, 2020 - Springer
Camera calibration is a necessary preliminary step in computer vision for the estimation of
the position of objects in the 3D world. Despite the intrinsic camera parameters can be easily …

Panoptop: a framework for generating viewpoint-invariant human pose estimation datasets

N Garau, G Martinelli, P Bródka… - 2021 IEEE/CVF …, 2021 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Human pose estimation (HPE) from RGB and depth images has recently experienced a push
for viewpoint-invariant and scale-invariant pose retrieval methods. Current methods fail to …
