Simulation-based approach to estimation of latent variable models
We propose a simulation-based method for calculating maximum likelihood estimators in latent variable models. The proposed method integrates a recently developed sampling strategy...

Gaussian Process Latent Variable Models for Human Pose Estimation
We describe a method for recovering 3D human body pose from silhouettes. Our model is based on learning a latent space using the Gaussian Process Latent Variable Model (GP-LVM) [1]...

Modeling Human Locomotion with Topologically Constrained Latent Variable Models
Abstract. Learned, activity-specific motion models are useful for human pose and motion estimation. Nevertheless, while the use of activityspecific models simplifies monocular t...

Particle methods for maximum likelihood estimation in latent variable models
Standard methods for maximum likelihood parameter estimation in latent variable models rely on the Expectation-Maximization algorithm and its Monte Carlo variants. Our approach is ...

Context and observation driven latent variable model for human pose estimation
Current approaches to pose estimation and tracking can be classified into two categories: generative and discriminative. While generative approaches can accurately determine human...
