State-of-the-art point trackers typically rely on cost volumes to match features across frames, but this approach incurs quadratic complexity in spatial resolution, limiting scalability and efficiency. In this paper, we propose CoWTracker, a novel dense point tracker that eschews cost volumes in fav
Powerful 3D representations such as DUSt3R's invariant point maps, which encode 3D shape and camera parameters, have significantly advanced feed-forward 3D reconstruction. While point maps assume static scenes, Dynamic Point Maps (DPMs) extend the concept to dynamic 3D content by also representing s
DUSt3R has recently demonstrated that many tasks in multi-view geometry, including estimating camera intrinsics and extrinsics, reconstructing 3D scenes, and establishing image correspondences, can be reduced to predicting a pair of viewpoint-invariant point maps, i.e., pixel-aligned point clouds de…
Open-vocabulary semantic segmentation models aim to accurately assign a semantic label to each pixel in an image from a set of arbitrary open-vocabulary texts. In order to learn such pixel-level alignment, current approaches typically rely on a combination of (i) image-level VL model (e.g. CLIP), (i…
Temporal consistency is critical in video prediction. Traditional methods, such as temporal attention mechanisms and 3D convolutions, often struggle with significant object movements and fail to capture long-range temporal dependencies in dynamic scenes. To address these limitations, we propose the…
"Recently, Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) has shown promising performances on reconstructing 3D scenes and synthesizing novel views from a sparse set of 2D images. Albeit effective, the performance of NeRF is highly influenced by the quality of training samples. With limited posed images from the sce…
Recent works have shown that the computational efficiency of video recognition can be significantly improved by reducing the spatial redundancy. As a representative work, the adaptive focus method (AdaFocus) has achieved a favorable trade-off between accuracy and inference speed by dynamically ident…
"Early exiting is an effective paradigm for improving the inference efficiency of deep networks. By constructing classifiers with varying resource demands (the exits), such networks allow easy samples to be output at early exits, removing the need for executing deeper layers. While existing works ma…
The ability to find correspondences in visual data is the essence of most computer vision tasks. But what are the right correspondences? The task of visual correspondence is well defined for two different images of same object instance. In case of two images of objects belonging to same category, vi…
We present Video Autoencoder for learning disentangled representations of 3D structure and camera pose from videos in a self-supervised manner. Relying on temporal continuity in videos, our work assumes that the 3D scene structure in nearby video frames remains static. Given a sequence of video fram…
Recent interest in self-supervised dense tracking has yielded rapid progress, but performance still remains far from supervised methods. We propose a dense tracking model trained on videos without any annotations that surpasses previous self-supervised methods on existing benchmarks by a significant…
Many applications of stereo depth estimation in robotics require the generation of accurate disparity maps in real time under significant computational constraints. Current state-of-the-art algorithms force a choice between either generating accurate mappings at a slow pace, or quickly generating in…
Many real-world tasks involve identifying signals from data satisfying background or prior knowledge. In domains like materials discovery, due to the flaws and biases in raw experimental data, the identification of X-ray diffraction (XRD) signals often requires significant (manual) expert work to fi…
