Accurate and robust object pose estimation for robotics applications requires verification and refinement steps. In this work, we propose to integrate hypotheses verification with object pose refinement guided by physics simulation. This…
For a long time, object detectors have suffered from extreme imbalance between foregrounds and backgrounds. While several sampling/reweighting schemes have been explored to alleviate the imbalance, they are usually heuristic and demand…
Holistic 3D indoor scene understanding refers to jointly recovering the i) object bounding boxes, ii) room layout, and iii) camera pose, all in 3D. The existing methods either are ineffective or only tackle the problem partially. In this…
Diffusion models have revolutionized image editing but often generate images that violate physical laws, particularly the effects of objects on the scene, e.g., occlusions, shadows, and reflections. By analyzing the limitations of…
Video object segmentation (VOS) aims to segment specified target objects throughout a video. Although state-of-the-art methods have achieved impressive performance (e.g., 90+% J&F) on benchmarks such as DAVIS and YouTube-VOS, these datasets…

We propose a method to learn explicit, class-conditioned spatial priors for object placement in natural scenes by distilling the implicit placement knowledge encoded in text-conditioned diffusion models. Prior work relies either on manually…
Referring Video Object Segmentation (R-VOS) is a challenging task that aims to segment an object in a video based on a linguistic expression. Most existing R-VOS methods have a critical assumption: the object referred to must appear in the…
We introduce Diff-DOPE, a 6-DoF pose refiner that takes as input an image, a 3D textured model of an object, and an initial pose of the object. The method uses differentiable rendering to update the object pose to minimize the visual error…
Rain streaks might severely degenerate the performance of video/image processing tasks. The investigations on rain removal from video or a single image has thus been attracting much research attention in the field of computer vision and…
