Open-vocabulary 3D scene understanding (OV-3D) aims to localize and classify novel objects beyond the closed set of object classes. However, existing approaches and benchmarks primarily focus on the open vocabulary problem within the context of object classes, which is insufficient in providing a ho
Open-vocabulary 3D object detection (OV-3DOD) aims at localizing and classifying novel objects beyond closed sets. The recent success of vision-language models (VLMs) has demonstrated their remarkable capabilities to understand open vocabularies. Existing works that leverage VLMs for 3D object detec…
While Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) has emerged as an effective approach for addressing the knowledge outdating problem in Large Language Models (LLMs), it still faces a critical challenge: the prevalence of outdated information in knowledge bases. Current research primarily focuses on incorp…
Glass surfaces are becoming increasingly ubiquitous as modern buildings tend to use a lot of glass panels. This, however, poses substantial challenges to the operations of autonomous systems such as robots, self-driving cars, and drones, as the glass panels can become transparent obstacles to naviga…
Recent advances in skeleton-based action recognition have been primarily driven by Graph Convolutional Networks (GCNs) and skeleton transformers. While conventional approaches focus on modeling joint co-occurrences through skeletal connections, they overlook the inherent positional information in 3D
This paper explores the weakly-supervised referring image segmentation (WRIS) problem, and focuses on a challenging setup where target localization is learned directly from image-text pairs. We note that the input text description typically already contains detailed information on how to localize t…
Image-based mirror detection has recently undergone rapid research due to its significance in applications such as robotic navigation semantic segmentation and scene reconstruction. Recently VMD-Net was proposed as the first video mirror detection technique by modeling dual correspondences between t…
Recent research has shown significant interest in image-based glass surface detection (GSD). However, detecting glass surfaces in dynamic scenes remains largely unexplored due to the lack of a high-quality dataset and an effective video glass surface detection (VGSD) method. In this paper, we propos…
We present HetNet (Multi-level Heterogeneous Network), a highly efficient mirror detection network. Current mirror detection methods focus more on performance than efficiency, limiting the real-time applications (such as drones). Their lack of efficiency is aroused by the common design of adopting h…
Detecting mirrors from static images has received significant research interest recently. However, detecting mirrors over dynamic scenes is still under-explored due to the lack of a high-quality dataset and an effective method for video mirror detection (VMD). To the best of our knowledge, this is t…
Existing mirror detection methods require supervised ImageNet pre-training to obtain good general-purpose image features. However, supervised ImageNet pre-training focuses on category-level discrimination and may not be suitable for downstream tasks like mirror detection, due to the overfitting upst…
Mirror detection aims to identify the mirror regions in the given input image. Existing works mainly focus on integrating the semantic features and structural features to mine specific relations between mirror and non-mirror regions, or introducing mirror properties like depth or chirality to help a…
Existing camouflaged object detection (COD) methods rely heavily on large-scale datasets with pixel-wise annotations. However, due to the ambiguous boundary, annotating camouflage objects pixel-wisely is very time-consuming and labor-intensive, taking ~60mins to label one image. In this paper, we pr…
Glass surfaces are omnipresent in our daily lives and often go unnoticed by the majority of us. While humans are generally able to infer their locations and thus avoid collisions, it can be difficult for current object detection systems to handle them due to the transparent nature of glass surfaces.…
Mirrors generally lack a consistent visual appearance, making mirror detection very challenging. Although recent works that are based on exploiting contextual contrasts and corresponding relations have achieved good results, heavily relying on contextual contrasts and corresponding relations to disc…
Glass surfaces appear everywhere. Their existence can however pose a serious problem to computer vision tasks. Recently, a method is proposed to detect glass surfaces by learning multi-scale contextual information. However, as it is only based on a general context integration operation and does not…
The mirror detection problem is important as mirrors can affect the performances of many vision tasks. It is a difficult problem as it requires an understanding of global scene semantics. Recently, a method was proposed to detect mirrors by learning multi-level contextual contrasts between inside an…
