GenMatter: Perceiving Physical Objects with Generative Matter Models

CVPR 2026

Human visual perception offers valuable insights for understanding computational principles of motion-based scene interpretation. Humans robustly detect and segment moving entities that constitute independently moveable chunks of matter, whether observing sparse moving dots, textured surfaces, or na

Evaluating Multiview Object Consistency in Humans and Image Models

NeurIPS 2024poster

We introduce a benchmark to directly evaluate the alignment between human observers and vision models on a 3D shape inference task. We leverage an experimental design from the cognitive sciences: given a set of images, participants identify which contain the same/different objects, despite considera…

Unsupervised Segmentation in Real-World Images via Spelke Object Inference

ECCV 2022poster

"Self-supervised, category-agnostic segmentation of real-world images is a challenging open problem in computer vision. Here, we show how to learn static grouping priors from motion self-supervision by building on the cognitive science concept of a Spelke Object: a set of physical stuff that moves t…
