Maximum consensus (MC) robust fitting is a fundamental problem in low-level vision to process raw-data. Typically, it firstly finds a consensus set of inliers and then fits a model on the consensus set. This work proposes a new formulation to achieve simultaneous maximum consensus and model estimation (MCME), which has two significant features compared with traditional MC robust fitting. First, it takes fitting residual into account in finding inliers, hence its lowest achievable residual in model fitting is lower than that of MC robust fitting. Second, it has an unconstrained formulation involving binary variables, which facilitates the use of the effective semidefinite relaxation (SDR) method to handle the underlying challenging combinatorial optimization problem. Though still nonconvex after SDR, it becomes biconvex in some applications, for which we use an alternating minimization algorithm to solve. Further, the sparsity of the problem is exploited in combination with low-rank factorization to develop an efficient algorithm. Experiments show that MCME significantly outperforms RANSAC and deterministic approximate MC methods at high outlier ratios. Besides, in rotation and Euclidean registration, it also compares favorably with state-of-the-art registration methods, especially in high noise and outliers. Code is available at textit{https://github.com/FWen/mcme.git}.

Multi-model fitting has been extensively studied from the random sampling and clustering perspectives. Most assume that only a single type/class of model is present and their generalizations to fitting multiple types of models/structures simultaneous ly are non-trivial. The inherent challenges include choice of types and numbers of models, sampling imbalance and parameter tuning, all of which render conventional approaches ineffective. In this work, we formulate the multi-model multi-type fitting problem as one of learning deep feature embedding that is clustering-friendly. In other words, points of the same clusters are embedded closer together through the network. For inference, we apply K-means to cluster the data in the embedded feature space and model selection is enabled by analyzing the K-means residuals. Experiments are carried out on both synthetic and real world multi-type fitting datasets, producing state-of-the-art results. Comparisons are also made on single-type multi-model fitting tasks with promising results as well.
Recently, some hypergraph-based methods have been proposed to deal with the problem of model fitting in computer vision, mainly due to the superior capability of hypergraph to represent the complex relationship between data points. However, a hypergr aph becomes extremely complicated when the input data include a large number of data points (usually contaminated with noises and outliers), which will significantly increase the computational burden. In order to overcome the above problem, we propose a novel hypergraph optimization based model fitting (HOMF) method to construct a simple but effective hypergraph. Specifically, HOMF includes two main parts: an adaptive inlier estimation algorithm for vertex optimization and an iterative hyperedge optimization algorithm for hyperedge optimization. The proposed method is highly efficient, and it can obtain accurate model fitting results within a few iterations. Moreover, HOMF can then directly apply spectral clustering, to achieve good fitting performance. Extensive experimental results show that HOMF outperforms several state-of-the-art model fitting methods on both synthetic data and real images, especially in sampling efficiency and in handling data with severe outliers.
This paper deals with the geometric multi-model fitting from noisy, unstructured point set data (e.g., laser scanned point clouds). We formulate multi-model fitting problem as a sequential decision making process. We then use a deep reinforcement lea rning algorithm to learn the optimal decisions towards the best fitting result. In this paper, we have compared our method against the state-of-the-art on simulated data. The results demonstrated that our approach significantly reduced the number of fitting iterations.
We propose a new cascaded regressor for eye center detection. Previous methods start from a face or an eye detector and use either advanced features or powerful regressors for eye center localization, but not both. Instead, we detect the eyes more ac curately using an existing facial feature alignment method. We improve the robustness of localization by using both advanced features and powerful regression machinery. Unlike most other methods that do not refine the regression results, we make the localization more accurate by adding a robust circle fitting post-processing step. Finally, using a simple hand-crafted method for eye center localization, we show how to train the cascaded regressor without the need for manually annotated training data. We evaluate our new approach and show that it achieves state-of-the-art performance on the BioID, GI4E, and the TalkingFace datasets. At an average normalized error of e < 0.05, the regressor trained on manually annotated data yields an accuracy of 95.07% (BioID), 99.27% (GI4E), and 95.68% (TalkingFace). The automatically trained regressor is nearly as good, yielding an accuracy of 93.9% (BioID), 99.27% (GI4E), and 95.46% (TalkingFace).
In this paper, we propose a novel hierarchical representation via message propagation (HRMP) method for robust model fitting, which simultaneously takes advantages of both the consensus analysis and the preference analysis to estimate the parameters of multiple model instances from data corrupted by outliers, for robust model fitting. Instead of analyzing the information of each data point or each model hypothesis independently, we formulate the consensus information and the preference information as a hierarchical representation to alleviate the sensitivity to gross outliers. Specifically, we firstly construct a hierarchical representation, which consists of a model hypothesis layer and a data point layer. The model hypothesis layer is used to remove insignificant model hypotheses and the data point layer is used to remove gross outliers. Then, based on the hierarchical representation, we propose an effective hierarchical message propagation (HMP) algorithm and an improved affinity propagation (IAP) algorithm to prune insignificant vertices and cluster the remaining data points, respectively. The proposed HRMP can not only accurately estimate the number and parameters of multiple model instances, but also handle multi-structural data contaminated with a large number of outliers. Experimental results on both synthetic data and real images show that the proposed HRMP significantly outperforms several state-of-the-art model fitting methods in terms of fitting accuracy and speed.
