In this paper, we present a dense hybrid proposal modulation (DHPM) method for lane detection. Most existing methods perform sparse supervision on a subset of high-scoring proposals, while other proposals fail to obtain effective shape and…
Object proposal generation is often the first step in many detection models. It is lucrative to train a good proposal model, that generalizes to unseen classes. This could help scaling detection models to larger number of classes with fewer…

Visual place retrieval aims to search images in the database that depict similar places as the query image. However, global descriptors encoded by the network usually fall into a low dimensional principal space, which is harmful to the…
Despite the substantial progress in recent years, the image captioning techniques are still far from being perfect.Sentences produced by existing methods, e.g. those based on RNNs, are often overly rigid and lacking in variability. This…

Visual grounding (VG) tasks involve explicit cross-modal alignment, as semantically corresponding image regions are to be located for the language phrases provided. Existing approaches complete such visual-text reasoning in a single-step…
Current vision-language detection and grounding models predominantly focus on prompts with positive semantics and often struggle to accurately interpret and ground complex expressions containing negative semantics. A key reason for this…
