Open-Vocabulary Segmentation (OVS) methods offer promising capabilities in detecting unseen object categories, but the category must be known and needs to be provided by a human, either via a text prompt or pre-labeled datasets, thus…
Online action detection (OAD) is challenging since 1) robust yet computationally expensive features cannot be straightforwardly used due to the real-time processing requirements and 2) the localization and classification of actions have to…
A fundamental limitation of object detectors is that they suffer from "spatial bias", and in particular perform less satisfactorily when detecting objects near image borders. For a long time, there has been a lack of effective ways to…
Unsupervised semantic segmentation (USS) aims to achieve high-quality segmentation without manual pixel-level annotations. Existing USS models provide coarse category classification for regions, but the results often have blurry and…
The problem of video object segmentation can become extremely challenging when multiple instances co-exist. While each instance may exhibit large scale and pose variations, the problem is compounded when instances occlude each other causing…
Weakly-supervised action segmentation is a task of learning to partition a long video into several action segments, where training videos are only accompanied by transcripts (ordered list of actions). Most of existing methods need to infer…
Recent temporal action segmentation approaches need frame annotations during training to be effective. These annotations are very expensive and time-consuming to obtain. This limits their performances when only limited annotated data is…
While supervised object detection and segmentation methods achieve impressive accuracy, they generalize poorly to images whose appearance significantly differs from the data they have been trained on. To address this when annotating data is…
