This letter presents a framework for cooperative relative localization and formation control of multi-robot systems in GPS-denied environment. First, a concurrent learning-based scheme with sliding-window sampling strategy is developed to exploit historical information, relaxing the strict persisten
Estimating the 6D pose of novel objects without CAD models or video sequences remains a challenging problem. Recent works explore text-driven approaches to address this challenge in an open-vocabulary manner. However, these methods typically treat text embeddings as static priors, which lack the fle
Orthodontic treatment hinges on tooth alignment, which significantly affects occlusal function, facial aesthetics, and patients' quality of life. Current deep learning approaches often predict transformation matrices for the misaligned tooth point cloud via point-to-point geometric constraints to ac
Modeling dynamic 3D environments from LiDAR sequences is central to building reliable 4D worlds for autonomous driving and embodied AI. Existing generative frameworks, however, often treat all spatial regions uniformly, overlooking the varying uncertainty across real-world scenes. This uniform gener
LiDAR representation learning aims to extract rich structural and semantic information from large-scale, readily available datasets, reducing reliance on costly human annotations. However, existing LiDAR representation strategies often overlook the inherent spatiotemporal cues in LiDAR sequences, li…
LiDAR data pretraining offers a promising approach to leveraging large-scale, readily available datasets for enhanced data utilization. However, existing methods predominantly focus on sparse voxel representation, overlooking the complementary attributes provided by other LiDAR representations. In t…
Point cloud completion referring to completing 3D shapes from partial 3D point clouds is a fundamental problem for 3D point cloud analysis tasks. Benefiting from the development of deep neural networks, researches on point cloud completion have made great progress in recent years. However, the expli…
Deepfake detection faces a critical generalization hurdle with performance deteriorating when there is a mismatch between the distributions of training and testing data. A broadly received explanation is the tendency of these detectors to be overfitted to forgery-specific artifacts rather than learn…
The existing unsupervised video object segmentation methods depend heavily on the segmentation model trained offline on a labeled training video set, and cannot well generalize to the test videos from a different domain with possible distribution shifts. We propose to perform online fine-tuning on t…
Exiting simple samples in adaptive multi-exit networks through early modules is an effective way to achieve high computational efficiency. One can observe that deployments of multi-exit architectures on resource-constrained devices are easily limited by high memory footprint of early modules. In thi…
The popular unsupervised video object segmentation methods fuse the RGB frame and optical flow via a two-stream network. However, they cannot handle the distracting noises in each input modality, which may vastly deteriorate the model performance. We propose to establish the correspondence between t…
The objective of co-saliency detection is to segment the co-occurring salient objects in a group of images. To address this task, we introduce a new deep network architecture via semantic-aware contrast Gromov-Wasserstein distance (DeepACG). We first adopt the Gromov-Wasserstein (GW) distance to bui…
This paper presents an efficiently robust facial expression recognition (FER) network, named EfficientFace, which holds much fewer parameters but more robust to the FER in the wild. Firstly, to improve the robustness of the lightweight network, a local-feature extractor and a channel-spatial modulat…
Co-saliency detection aims to discover the common and salient foregrounds from a group of relevant images. For this task, we present a novel adaptive graph convolutional network with attention graph clustering (GCAGC). Three major contributions have been made, and are experimentally shown to have su…
In this paper, we propose a cascading network for compressed sensing of images with progressive reconstruction. Specifically, we decompose the complex reconstruction mapping into the cascade of incremental detail reconstruction (IDR) modules and measurement residual updating (MRU) modules. The IDR m…
Meta-learning is a powerful paradigm for few-shot learning. Although with remarkable success witnessed in many applications, the existing optimization based meta-learning models with over-parameterized neural networks have been evidenced to ovetfit on training tasks. To remedy this deficiency, we pr…
Training Binarized Neural Networks (BNNs) is challenging due to the discreteness. In order to efficiently optimize BNNs through backward propagations, real-valued auxiliary variables are commonly used to accumulate gradient updates. Those auxiliary variables are then directly quantized to binary wei…
In image co-saliency detection problem, one critical issue is how to model the concurrent pattern of the co-salient parts, which appears both within each image and across all the relevant images. In this paper, we propose a hierarchical image co-saliency detection framework as a coarse to fine strat…
In this paper, we present a sample distributed greedy pursuit method for non-convex sparse learning under cardinality constraint. Given the training samples uniformly randomly partitioned across multiple machines, the proposed method alternates between local inexact sparse minimization of a Newton-t…
Prevalent matrix completion theories reply on an assumption that the locations of the missing data are distributed uniformly and randomly (i.e., uniform sampling). Nevertheless, the reason for observations being missing often depends on the unseen observations themselves, and thus the missing data i…
Iterative Hard Thresholding (IHT) is a class of projected gradient descent methods for optimizing sparsity-constrained minimization models, with the best known efficiency and scalability in practice. As far as we know, the existing IHT-style methods are designed for sparse minimization in primal for…
We investigate a subclass of exponential family graphical models of which the sufficient statistics are defined by arbitrary additive forms. We propose two $\ell_{2,1}$-norm regularized maximum likelihood estimators to learn the model parameters from i.i.d. samples. The first one is a joint MLE esti…
In this paper, we present a concise framework to approximately construct feature maps for nonlinear additive kernels such as the Intersection, Hellinger's, and Chi^2 kernels. The core idea is to construct for each individual feature a set of anchor points and assign to every query the feature map of…
