We propose DINOBot, a novel imitation learning framework for robot manipulation, which leverages the image-level and pixel-level capabilities of features extracted from Vision Transformers trained with DINO. When interacting with a novel…
Human de-occlusion, which aims to infer the appearance of invisible human parts from an occluded image, has great value in many human-related tasks, such as person re-id, and intention inference. To address this task, this paper proposes a…
Studies suggest that involuntary eye movements exhibit greater stability during active motion compared to passive motion, and this effect may also apply to the operation of ride-on machinery. Moreover, a study suggested that experimentally…
Active visual tracking of space non-cooperative object is significant for future intelligent spacecraft to realise space debris removal, asteroid exploration, autonomous rendezvous and docking. However, existing works often consider this…
Sufficiently perceiving the environment is a critical factor in robot motion generation. Although the introduction of deep visual processing models have contributed in extending this ability, existing methods lack in the ability to actively…
Active Multi-Object Tracking (AMOT) is a task where cameras are controlled by a centralized system to adjust their poses automatically and collaboratively so as to maximize the coverage of targets in their shared visual field. In AMOT, each…
