3D objectness estimation, namely discovering semantic objects from 3D scene, is a challenging and significant task in 3D understanding. In this paper, we propose a 3D objectness method working in a bottom-up manner. Beginning with…

Object detection has been a challenging task in computer vision. Although significant progress has been made in object detection with deep neural networks, the attention mechanism is far from development. In this paper, we propose the…

End-to-end person search aims to jointly detect and re-identify a target person in raw scene images with a unified model. The detection task unifies all persons while the re-id task discriminates different identities, resulting in conflict…

Human action recognition is crucial in computer vision systems. However, in real-world scenarios, human actions often fall outside the distribution of training data, requiring a model to both recognize in-distribution (ID) actions and…
