Abstract

In this work we propose an autoencoder architecture capable of automatically learning meaningful geometric features of objects in images, achieving a disentangled representation of 2D objects. It is made of a standard dense autoencoder that captures the \textit{deep features} identifying the shapes, and an additional encoder that extracts geometric latent variables regressed in an unsupervised manner, that are then used to apply a transformation on the output of the \textit{deep features} decoder. We show promising results and that this approach performs better than a non-constrained model having more degrees of freedom.

Keywords:
Autoencoders, group actions, geometric priors, latent space disentanglement
