Multimodal image registration is a fundamental task and a prerequisite for downstream cross-modal analysis. Despite recent progress in shared feature extraction and multi-scale architectures, two key limitations remain. First, some methods use disentanglement to learn shared features but mainly regu
With the rapid development of the low-altitude economy, multimodal visual tracking in UAV scenarios has attracted extensive attention. UAVs are typically equipped with independent visible (RGB) and thermal infrared (TIR) sensors, resulting in an inherent spatial misalignment between the two modaliti
Existing Transformer-based RGBT trackers achieve remarkable performance benefits by leveraging self-attention to extract uni-modal features and cross-attention to enhance multi-modal feature interaction and search-template correlation. Nevertheless, the independent search-template correlation calcul…
RGBT tracking usually suffers from various challenge factors, such as fast motion, scale variation, illumination variation, thermal crossover and occlusion, to name a few. Existing works often study fusion models to solve all challenges simultaneously, and it requires fusion models complex enough an…
Recently, a surge of interest in visual transformers is to reduce the computational cost by limiting the calculation of self-attention to a local window. Most current work uses a fixed single-scale window for modeling by default, ignoring the impact of window size on model performance. However, this…
Product quantization (PQ) coupled with a space rotation, is widely used in modern approximate nearest neighbor (ANN) search systems to significantly compress the disk storage for embeddings and speed up the inner product computation. Existing rotation learning methods, however, minimize quantization…
Deep neural networks (DNNs) have been widely applied in various domains in artificial intelligence including computer vision and natural language processing. A DNN is typically trained for many epochs and then a validation dataset is used to select the DNN in an epoch (we simply call this epoch ``t…
The task of visual question generation (VQG) aims to generate human-like neural questions from an image and potentially other side information (e.g., answer type or the answer itself). Existing works often suffer from the severe one image to many questions mapping problem, which generates uninformat…
Person search has drawn increasing attention due to its real-world applications and research significance. Person search aims to find a probe person in a gallery of scene images with a wide range of applications, such as criminals search, multicamera tracking, missing person search, etc. Early perso…
