Perception of the visually disjoint surfaces of our cluttered world as whole objects, physically distinct from those overlapping them, is a cognitive phenomenon called objectness that forms the basis of our visual perception. Shared by all…
Hierarchies allow feature sharing between objects at multiple levels of representation, can code exponential variability in a very compact way and enable fast inference. This makes them potentially suitable for learning and recognizing a…
Video prediction is a crucial task for intelligent agents such as robots and autonomous vehicles, since it enables them to anticipate and act early on time-critical incidents. State-of-the-art video prediction methods typically model the…
Object Permanence allows people to reason about the location of non-visible objects, by understanding that they continue to exist even when not perceived directly. Object Permanence is critical for building a model of the world, since…
Robots that interact with humans in a physical space or application need to think about the person's posture, which typically comes from visual sensors like cameras and infra-red. Artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms use…
Although Vision Language Models (VLMs) exhibit strong perceptual abilities and impressive visual reasoning, they struggle with attention to detail and precise action planning in complex, dynamic environments, leading to subpar performance.…
