Jeffri Murrugarra-Llerena

I am a PhD student in the Computer Science department at Stony Brook University, advised by Prof. Paola Cascante-Bonilla and part of the SPEL lab. My research is focused on Computer vision and Natural Language Processing. Before this, I was as an assistant researcher at Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul.

In 2022, I obtained my Masters in Computer Science from Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, where I worked with Prof. Claudio Rosito Jung at the department of informatics. Our research lies problems about spherical images and oriented object detectors. Previously, I obtained a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from National University of Trujillo. During my undergrad studies I did an exchange bachelor for a year at the University of Sao Paulo (ICMC).

GauCho: Gaussian Distributions with Cholesky Decomposition for Oriented Object Detection
Jeffri Murrugarra-Llerena*; Jose Henrique Lima Marques*; Claudio Rosito Jung
IEEE / CVF Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition Conference (CVPR), 2025
paper

GauCho detects oriented objects with typical representations or Oriented Ellipses. It relies on a novel regression head designed to directly predict the parameters of 2D Gaussian distributions through the Cholesky decomposition of their covariance matrices, which theoretically mitigates the boundary discontinuity problem.

Noise-Aware Evaluation of Object Detectors.
Jeffri Murrugarra-Llerena; Claudio Rosito Jung
IEEE/CVF Winter Conference on Applications of Computer Vision (WACV), 2025
paper

The main goals of this work are to quantify the extent of annotation noise in terms of corner-wise discrepancies, assess how it impacts evaluation met-rics for object detection, and propose noise-aware alternatives that serve as upper and lower bounds.

Probabilistic Intersection-Over-Union for Training and Evaluation of Oriented Object Detectors
Jeffri Murrugarra-Llerena; Lucas Kirsten; Luis Felip Zeni; Claudio Rosito Jung
IEEE Transactions on Image Processing, 2024
paper

We propose a new probabilistic loss function, to train and evaluate oriented object detectors named ProbIoU. ProbIoU have desired properties such as: scale invariant, metric properties, few hyperparameters and easy implementations.

Improving Embeddings Representations for Comparing Higher Education Curricula: A Use Case in Computing.
Jeffri Murrugarra-Llerena; Fernando Manchego; Nils Murrugarra-Llerena
In Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing (EMNLP), 2022
paper / code

We have implemented an attention module in conjunction with metric learning to enhance human interpretability, mirroring core courses per computing career.

Can We Trust Bounding Box Annotations for Object Detection?
Jeffri Murrugarra-Llerena; Lucas Kirsten; Claudio Rosito Jung
Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition Conference Workshops (CVPRW), 2022
paper

This paper presented a critical analysis of popular datasets for HBB and OBB object detection, namely COCO, VOC, and DOTA/iSAID, aiming to check the consistency of bounding box annotations and segmentation masks and how discrepancies affect the IoU and AP metrics.

Pose Estimation for Two-View Panoramas Based on Keypoint Matching: A Comparative Study and Critical Analysis
Jeffri Murrugarra-Llerena; Thiago Silveira; Claudio Jung
Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition Conference Workshops (CVPRW) , 2022
paper

In this paper, we presented a comparative analysis of seven keypoint matching algorithms applied to 360◦ image pairs using several pose estimation approaches.

3D Scene Geometry Estimation from 360° Imagery: A Survey
Thiago Silveira; Paulo G. L. Pinto; Jeffri Murrugarra-Llerena; Claudio Jung
ACM Computing Surveys (CSUR), 2022
paper

This paper provides a comprehensive survey on pioneer and state-of-the-art 3D scene geometry estimation methodologies based on single, two, or multiple images captured under the omnidirectional optics.
