Temporal consistency is critical in video prediction to ensure that outputs are coherent and free of artifacts. Traditional methods, such as temporal attention and 3D convolution, may struggle with significant object motion and may not…
Recurrent connections in the visual cortex are thought to aid object recognition when part of the stimulus is occluded. Here we investigate if and how recurrent connections in artificial neural networks similarly aid object recognition. We…
Unsupervised object discovery aims to localize objects in images, while removing the dependence on annotations required by most deep learning-based methods. To address this problem, we propose a fully unsupervised, bottom-up approach, for…
Object detection-the computer vision task dealing with detecting instances of objects of a certain class (e.g., 'car', 'plane', etc.) in images-attracted a lot of attention from the community during the last 5 years. This strong interest…
Recognition of occluded objects in unseen indoor environments is a challenging problem for mobile robots. This work proposes a new slicing-based topological descriptor that captures the 3D shape of object point clouds to address this…
Instance segmentation is the problem of detecting and delineating each distinct object of interest appearing in an image. Current instance segmentation approaches consist of ensembles of modules that are trained independently of each other,…
Robustness is a fundamental aspect for developing safe and trustworthy models, particularly when they are deployed in the open world. In this work we analyze the inherent capability of one-stage object detectors to robustly operate in the…
3D object detection is essential for autonomous systems, enabling precise localization and dimension estimation. While LiDAR and RGB cameras are widely used, their fixed frame rates create perception gaps in high-speed scenarios. Event…
Object Detection is the task of classification and localization of objects in an image or video. It has gained prominence in recent years due to its widespread applications. This article surveys recent developments in deep learning based…
Passive methods for object detection and segmentation treat images of the same scene as individual samples and do not exploit object permanence across multiple views. Generalization to novel or difficult viewpoints thus requires additional…
Object detection has been vigorously investigated for years but fast accurate detection for real-world scenes remains a very challenging problem. Overcoming drawbacks of single-stage detectors, we take aim at precisely detecting objects for…
Object tracking has been studied for decades, but most of the existing works are focused on the short-term tracking. For a long sequence, the object is often fully occluded or out of view for a long time, and existing short-term object…
The performance of a trained object detection neural network depends a lot on the image quality. Generally, images are pre-processed before feeding them into the neural network and domain knowledge about the image dataset is used to choose…
In this paper we develop a theory for correctness of concurrent objects under weak memory models. Central to our definitions is the concept of observations which determine when effects of operations become visible, and hence determine the…
Object perception is a fundamental sub-field of Computer Vision, covering a multitude of individual areas and having contributed high-impact results. While Machine Learning has been traditionally applied to address related problems, recent…
Object detectors often experience a drop in performance when new environmental conditions are insufficiently represented in the training data. This paper studies how to automatically fine-tune a pre-existing object detector while exploring…
Object binding is a foundational process in visual cognition, during which low-level perceptual features are joined into object representations. Binding has been considered a fundamental challenge for neural networks, and a major milestone…
The visual system processes a scene using a sequence of selective glimpses, each driven by spatial and object-based attention. These glimpses reflect what is relevant to the ongoing task and are selected through recurrent processing and…
