A survey of face recognition techniques under occlusion [PDF]
The limited capacity to recognize faces under occlusions is a long-standing problem that presents a unique challenge for face recognition systems and even for humans. The problem regarding occlusion is less covered by research when compared to other challenges such as pose variation, different expressions, etc.

MirrorFlow: Exploiting Symmetries in Joint Optical Flow and Occlusion Estimation [PDF]
Optical flow estimation is one of the most studied problems in computer vision, yet recent benchmark datasets continue to reveal problem areas of today's approaches. Occlusions have remained one of the key challenges. In this paper, we propose a symmetric optical flow method to address the well-known chicken-and-egg relation between optical flow and ...

Robust LSTM-Autoencoders for Face De-Occlusion in the Wild [PDF]
Face recognition techniques have been developed significantly in recent years. However, recognizing faces with partial occlusion is still challenging for existing face recognizers which is heavily desired in real-world applications concerning surveillance and security.

Deep Occlusion-Aware Instance Segmentation with Overlapping BiLayers [PDF]
Segmenting highly-overlapping objects is challenging, because typically no distinction is made between real object contours and occlusion boundaries. Unlike previous two-stage instance segmentation methods, we model image formation as composition of two ...

Endovascular Therapy for Stroke Due to Basilar-Artery Occlusion.
BACKGROUND The effectiveness of endovascular therapy in patients with stroke caused by basilar-artery occlusion has not been well studied. METHODS We randomly assigned patients within 6 hours after the estimated time of onset of a stroke due to basilar-

Region Attention Networks for Pose and Occlusion Robust Facial Expression Recognition [PDF]
Occlusion and pose variations, which can change facial appearance significantly, are two major obstacles for automatic Facial Expression Recognition (FER). Though automatic FER has made substantial progresses in the past few decades, occlusion-robust and

Occluded Prohibited Items Detection: An X-ray Security Inspection Benchmark and De-occlusion Attention Module [PDF]
Security inspection often deals with a piece of baggage or suitcase where objects are heavily overlapped with each other, resulting in an unsatisfactory performance for prohibited items detection in X-ray images.
