Automatic understanding of figures in scientific papers is challenging since they often contain subfigures and subcaptions in complex layouts. In this paper, we propose FigEx, a vision-language model to extract aligned pairs of subfigures and subcaptions from scientific papers. We also release BioSc
Autonomous driving for urban and highway driving applications often requires High Definition (HD) maps to generate a navigation plan. Nevertheless, various challenges arise when generating and maintaining HD maps at scale. While recent online mapping methods have started to emerge, their performance…
Human behavior is the confluence of output from voluntary and involuntary motor systems. The neural activities that mediate behavior, from individual cells to distributed networks, are in a state of constant flux. Artificial intelligence (AI) research over the past decade shows that behavior, in the…
Dynamic Camera Clusters (DCCs) are multi-camera systems where one or more cameras are mounted on actuated mechanisms such as a gimbal. Existing methods for DCC calibration rely on joint angle measurements to resolve the time-varying transformation between the dynamic and static camera. This informat…
Dynamic camera cluster (DCC) calibration determines a time-varying set of extrinsic calibration transformations between cameras in a multi-camera cluster, where one or more cameras are mounted on actuated mechanisms. In this paper, we present a novel active vision approach for DCC calibration, which…
Multi-camera clusters used for visual SLAM assume a fixed calibration between the cameras, which places many limitations on its performance, and directly excludes all configurations where a camera in the cluster is mounted to a moving component. In this work, we present a calibration method for dyna…
Although many state-of-the-art visual SLAM algorithms use keyframes to help alleviate the computational requirements of performing online bundle adjustment, little consideration is taken for specific keyframe selection. In this work, we propose two entropy based methods which aim to insert keyframes…
