Recent vision foundation models give the impression that 3D reconstruction from RGB is largely solved. Yet these systems struggle with object-specific 3D structure: the fine-grained geometry implied by an object's landmarks or skeleton. In this paper, we show that when a model is given only 2D landm
We introduce MAVERIX (Multimodal Audio-Visual Evaluation and Recognition IndeX), a unified benchmark to probe video understanding in multimodal LLMs, encompassing video, audio, and text inputs with human performance baselines. Although recent advancements in audiovisual models have shown substantial
Modern perception increasingly relies on fisheye, panoramic, and other wide field-of-view (FoV) cameras, yet most pipelines still apply planar CNNs designed for pinhole imagery on 2D grids, where pixel-space neighborhoods misrepresent physical adjacency and models are sensitive to global rotations.
The lifting of a 3D structure and camera from 2D landmarks is at the cornerstone of the discipline of computer vision. Traditional methods have been confined to specific rigid objects such as those in Perspective-n-Point (PnP) problems but deep learning has expanded our capability to reconstruct a w…
Labeling articulated objects in unconstrained settings has a wide variety of applications including entertainment, neuroscience, psychology, ethology, and many fields of medicine. Large offline labeled datasets do not exist for all but the most common articulated object categories (e.g., humans). Ha…
This paper develops an exploration framework that leverages Gaussian mixture models (GMMs) for high-fidelity perceptual modeling and exploits the compactness of the distributions for information sharing in communications-constrained applications. State-of-the-art, high-resolution perceptual modeling…
