• Abstract: This work studies subject recognition from Leap Motion Controller 2 (LMC2) hand landmark data under a subject-level unknown-identity identification protocol on the Multi View Leap2 Hand Pose (ML2HP) dataset. Using only the landmark modality, we retain the original geometric representation and enrich it with fingertip-to-palm distances and palm-normalized inter-finger angular descriptors. Evaluation is performed under a Leave-One-Subject-Out (LOSO) protocol in which, for each outer fold, one subject is excluded from the enrolled set and treated as unknown at test time. To avoid tuning on the true outer unknown subject, the unknown-rejection threshold is selected in an inner validation step by temporarily withholding one enrolled subject from the inner gallery and using it only for threshold estimation. We compare a tree ensemble baseline with two neural alternatives: a learned embedding baseline based on centroid matching and cosine-similarity-based rejection, and an MLP+OpenMax model, which represents a more established open-set recognition approach. Under this evaluation setup, Extra Trees remains the strongest overall method, indicating that the main challenge on this benchmark is not enrolled-subject discrimination alone, but robust score separation between known and unknown probes. The results support the feasibility of compact, interpretable landmark-based descriptors for contactless hand-based unknown-subject rejection and identification on a small-cohort dataset.

  Occluded Person Re-Identification (ReID) is a metric learning task that involves matching occluded individuals based on their appearance. We introduce Keypoint Promptable ReID (KPR), a novel formulation of the ReID problem that explicitly complements the input bounding box with a set of semantic keypoints. We release custom keypoint labels for four popular ReID benchmarks. Experiments on person retrieval, but also on pose tracking, demonstrate that our method systematically surpasses previous state-of-the-art approaches.

  Universal Domain aims to transfer the knowledge between datasets by handling two shifts: domain-shift and categoryshift. Main challenge is correctly distinguishing the unknown target samples while adapting the distribution of known class knowledge from source to target. Most existing methods approach this problem by first training the target adapted known and then relying on the single threshold to distinguish unknown target samples.

  We aim to locate and provide a unique identifier for each mouse in a cluttered home-cage environment through time. This is a very challenging problem due to (i) the lack of distinguishing visual features for each mouse, and (ii) the close confines of the scene with constant occlusion. Our approach achieves 77% accuracy on this animal identification problem, and is able to reject spurious detections when the animals are hidden.
