Active Pose Refinement for Textureless Shiny Objects using the Structured Light Camera

IROS 2024poster

6D pose estimation of textureless shiny objects has become an essential problem in many robotic applications. Many pose estimators require high-quality depth data, often measured by structured light cameras. However, when objects have shiny surfaces (e.g., metal parts), these cameras fail to sense c…

Joint Pre-Encoding Representation and Structure Embedding for Efficient and Low-Resource Knowledge Graph Completion

EMNLP 2024main

Knowledge graph completion (KGC) aims to infer missing or incomplete parts in knowledge graph. The existing models are generally divided into structure-based and description-based models, among description-based models often require longer training and inference times as well as increased memory usa…

Policy Space Diversity for Non-Transitive Games

NeurIPS 2023poster

Policy-Space Response Oracles (PSRO) is an influential algorithm framework for approximating a Nash Equilibrium (NE) in multi-agent non-transitive games. Many previous studies have been trying to promote policy diversity in PSRO. A major weakness with existing diversity metrics is that a more divers…

Quality-Similar Diversity via Population Based Reinforcement Learning

ICLR 2023poster

Diversity is a growing research topic in Reinforcement Learning (RL). Previous research on diversity has mainly focused on promoting diversity to encourage exploration and thereby improve quality (the cumulative reward), maximizing diversity subject to quality constraints, or jointly maximizing qual…

DeepMLE: A Robust Deep Maximum Likelihood Estimator for Two-view Structure from Motion

IROS 2022poster

Two-view structure from motion (SfM) is the cornerstone of 3D reconstruction and visual SLAM (vSLAM). Many existing end-to-end learning-based methods usually formulate it as a brute regression problem. However, the inadequate utilization of traditional geometry model makes the model not robust in un…

Self-supervised Amodal Video Object Segmentation

NeurIPS 2022accept

Amodal perception requires inferring the full shape of an object that is partially occluded. This task is particularly challenging on two levels: (1) it requires more information than what is contained in the instant retina or imaging sensor, (2) it is difficult to obtain enough well-annotated amoda…

GRIN: Generative Relation and Intention Network for Multi-agent Trajectory Prediction

NeurIPS 2021poster

Learning the distribution of future trajectories conditioned on the past is a crucial problem for understanding multi-agent systems. This is challenging because humans make decisions based on complex social relations and personal intents, resulting in highly complex uncertainties over trajectories.…

VIC-Net: Voxelization Information Compensation Network for Point Cloud 3D Object Detection

ICRA 2021poster

Voxel-based methods have been widely used in point cloud 3D object detection. These methods usually transform points into voxels while suffering from information loss during point cloud voxelization. To address this problem, we propose a novel one-stage Voxelization Information Compensation Network…

Robust Camera Pose Estimation via Consensus on Ray Bundle and Vector Field

IROS 2018poster

Estimating the camera pose requires point correspondences. However, in practice, correspondences are inevitably corrupted by outliers, which affects the pose estimation. We propose a general and accurate outlier removal strategy for robust camera pose estimation. The proposed strategy can detect out…
