Automated Multi-Camera Inspection System for Aircraft

AAAI 2026technical

In this paper, we present the development of an automated visual inspection system designed to detect defects on the upper surface of an aircraft airframe. Specifically, the system employs a multi-camera PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) set-up to capture and process images from designated regions. Custom develop

EventDrive: Event Cameras for Vision-Language Driving Intelligence

CVPR 2026

Event cameras sense the world through asynchronous brightness changes with microsecond latency and high dynamic range, offering motion fidelity far beyond frame-based sensors and capturing temporal structure that conventional exposures often miss. These properties make events a powerful complement t

Why Ask One When You Can Ask $k$? Learning-to-Defer to the Top-$k$ Experts

ICLR 2026poster

Existing _Learning-to-Defer_ (L2D) frameworks are limited to _single-expert deferral_, forcing each query to rely on only one expert and preventing the use of collective expertise. We introduce the first framework for _Top-$k$ Learning-to-Defer_, which allocates queries to the $k$ most cost-effectiv…

WorldLens: Full-Spectrum Evaluations of Driving World Models in Real World

CVPR 2026

Generative world models are reshaping embodied AI, enabling agents to synthesize realistic 4D driving environments that look convincing but often fail physically or behaviorally. Despite rapid progress, the field still lacks a unified way to assess whether generated worlds preserve geometry, obey ph

A Two-Stage Learning-to-Defer Approach for Multi-Task Learning

ICML 2025poster

The Two-Stage Learning-to-Defer (L2D) framework has been extensively studied for classification and, more recently, regression tasks. However, many real-world applications require solving both tasks jointly in a multi-task setting. We introduce a novel Two-Stage L2D framework for multi-task learning…

Adversarial Robustness in Two-Stage Learning-to-Defer: Algorithms and Guarantees

ICML 2025poster

Two-stage Learning-to-Defer (L2D) enables optimal task delegation by assigning each input to either a fixed main model or one of several offline experts, supporting reliable decision-making in complex, multi-agent environments. However, existing L2D frameworks assume clean inputs and are vulnerable…

Talk2Event: Grounded Understanding of Dynamic Scenes from Event Cameras

NeurIPS 2025spotlight

Event cameras offer microsecond-level latency and robustness to motion blur, making them ideal for understanding dynamic environments. Yet, connecting these asynchronous streams to human language remains an open challenge. We introduce Talk2Event, the first large-scale benchmark for language-driven…

OpenESS: Event-based Semantic Scene Understanding with Open Vocabularies

CVPR 2024highlight

Event-based semantic segmentation (ESS) is a fundamental yet challenging task for event camera sensing. The difficulties in interpreting and annotating event data limit its scalability. While domain adaptation from images to event data can help to mitigate this issue there exist data representationa…

RoboDepth: Robust Out-of-Distribution Depth Estimation under Corruptions

NeurIPS 2023poster

Depth estimation from monocular images is pivotal for real-world visual perception systems. While current learning-based depth estimation models train and test on meticulously curated data, they often overlook out-of-distribution (OoD) situations. Yet, in practical settings -- especially safety-crit…
