Wi-Fi signals in contrast to cameras offer privacy protection and occlusion resilience for some practical scenarios such as smart homes elderly care and virtual reality. Recent years have seen remarkable progress in the estimation of single-person 2D pose single-person 3D pose and multi-person 2D pose. This paper takes a step forward by introducing Person-in-WiFi 3D a pioneering Wi-Fi system that accomplishes multi-person 3D pose estimation. Person-in-WiFi 3D has two main updates. Firstly it has a greater number of Wi-Fi devices to enhance the capability for capturing spatial reflections from multiple individuals. Secondly it leverages the Transformer for end-to-end estimation. Compared to its predecessor Person-in-WiFi 3D is storage-efficient and fast. We deployed a proof-of-concept system in 4mx3.5m areas and collected a dataset of over 97K frames with seven volunteers. Person-in-WiFi 3D attains 3D joint localization errors of 91.7mm (1-person) 108.1mm (2-person) and 125.3mm (3-person) comparable to cameras and millimeter-wave radars.

Recently there were remarkable advances in image editing tasks in various ways. Nevertheless existing image editing models are not designed for Human-Object Interaction (HOI) image editing. One of these approaches (e.g. ControlNet) employs the skeleton guidance to offer precise representations of human showing better results in HOI image editing. However using conventional methods manually creating HOI skeleton guidance is necessary. This paper proposes the object interactive diffuser with associative attention that considers both the interaction with objects and the joint graph structure automating the generation of HOI skeleton guidance. Additionally we propose the HOI loss with novel scaling parameter demonstrating its effectiveness in generating skeletons that interact better. To evaluate generated object-interactive skeletons we propose two metrics top-N accuracy and skeleton probabilistic distance. Our framework integrates object interactive diffuser that generates object-interactive skeletons with previous methods demonstrating the outstanding results in HOI image editing. Finally we present potentials of our framework beyond HOI image editing as applications to human-to-human interaction skeleton editing and 3D mesh optimization.

Revolutionizing the field of deep learning Transformer-based models have achieved remarkable performance in many tasks. Recent research has recognized these models are robust to shuffling but are limited to inter-token permutation in the forward propagation. In this work we propose our definition of permutation equivariance a broader concept covering both inter- and intra- token permutation in the forward and backward propagation of neural networks. We rigorously proved that such permutation equivariance property can be satisfied on most vanilla Transformer-based models with almost no adaptation. We examine the property over a range of state-of-the-art models including ViT Bert GPT and others with experimental validations. Further as a proof-of-concept we explore how real-world applications including privacy-enhancing split learning and model authorization could exploit the permutation equivariance property which implicates wider intriguing application scenarios.

High dynamic range (HDR) rendering has the ability to faithfully reproduce the wide luminance ranges in natural scenes but how to accurately assess the rendering quality is relatively underexplored. Existing quality models are mostly designed for low dynamic range (LDR) images and do not align well with human perception of HDR image quality. To fill this gap we propose a family of HDR quality metrics in which the key step is employing a simple inverse display model to decompose an HDR image into a stack of LDR images with varying exposures. Subsequently these decomposed images are assessed through well-established LDR quality metrics. Our HDR quality models present three distinct benefits. First they directly inherit the recent advancements of LDR quality metrics. Second they do not rely on human perceptual data of HDR image quality for re-calibration. Third they facilitate the alignment and prioritization of specific luminance ranges for more accurate and detailed quality assessment. Experimental results show that our HDR quality metrics consistently outperform existing models in terms of quality assessment on four HDR image quality datasets and perceptual optimization of HDR novel view synthesis.

Previous methods for Video Frame Interpolation (VFI) have encountered challenges notably the manifestation of blur and ghosting effects. These issues can be traced back to two pivotal factors: unavoidable motion errors and misalignment in supervision. In practice motion estimates often prove to be error-prone resulting in misaligned features. Furthermore the reconstruction loss tends to bring blurry results particularly in misaligned regions. To mitigate these challenges we propose a new paradigm called PerVFI (Perception-oriented Video Frame Interpolation). Our approach incorporates an Asymmetric Synergistic Blending module (ASB) that utilizes features from both sides to synergistically blend intermediate features. One reference frame emphasizes primary content while the other contributes complementary information. To impose a stringent constraint on the blending process we introduce a self-learned sparse quasi-binary mask which effectively mitigates ghosting and blur artifacts in the output. Additionally we employ a normalizing flow-based generator and utilize the negative log-likelihood loss to learn the conditional distribution of the output which further facilitates the generation of clear and fine details. Experimental results validate the superiority of PerVFI demonstrating significant improvements in perceptual quality compared to existing methods.

Personalized Federated Learning (pFL) has emerged as a promising solution to tackle data heterogeneity across clients in FL. However existing pFL methods either (1) introduce high computation and communication costs or (2) overfit to local data which can be limited in scope and vulnerable to evolved test samples with natural distribution shifts. In this paper we propose PerAda a parameter-efficient pFL framework that reduces communication and computational costs and exhibits superior generalization performance especially under test-time distribution shifts. PerAda reduces the costs by leveraging the power of pretrained models and only updates and communicates a small number of additional parameters from adapters. PerAda achieves high generalization by regularizing each client's personalized adapter with a global adapter while the global adapter uses knowledge distillation to aggregate generalized information from all clients. Theoretically we provide generalization bounds of PerAda and we prove its convergence to stationary points under non-convex settings. Empirically PerAda demonstrates higher personalized performance (+4.85% on CheXpert) and enables better out-of-distribution generalization (+5.23% on CIFAR-10-C) on different datasets across natural and medical domains compared with baselines while only updating 12.6% of parameters per model. Our code is available at https://github.com/NVlabs/PerAda.

Adversarial robustness of the neural network is a significant concern when it is applied to security-critical domains. In this situation adversarial distillation is a promising option which aims to distill the robustness of the teacher network to improve the robustness of a small student network. Previous works pretrain the teacher network to make it robust against the adversarial examples aimed at itself. However the adversarial examples are dependent on the parameters of the target network. The fixed teacher network inevitably degrades its robustness against the unseen transferred adversarial examples which target the parameters of the student network in the adversarial distillation process. We propose PeerAiD to make a peer network learn the adversarial examples of the student network instead of adversarial examples aimed at itself. PeerAiD is an adversarial distillation that trains the peer network and the student network simultaneously in order to specialize the peer network for defending the student network. We observe that such peer networks surpass the robustness of the pretrained robust teacher model against adversarial examples aimed at the student network. With this peer network and adversarial distillation PeerAiD achieves significantly higher robustness of the student network with AutoAttack (AA) accuracy by up to 1.66%p and improves the natural accuracy of the student network by up to 4.72%p with ResNet-18 on TinyImageNet dataset.

Recent progress in Vision-Language (VL) foundation models has revealed the great advantages of cross-modality learning. However due to a large gap between vision and text they might not be able to sufficiently utilize the benefits of cross-modality information. In the field of human action recognition the additional pose modality may bridge the gap between vision and text to improve the effectiveness of cross-modality learning. In this paper we propose a novel framework called the Pose-enhanced Vision-Language (PeVL) model to adapt the VL model with pose modality to learn effective knowledge of fine-grained human actions. Our PeVL model includes two novel components: an Unsymmetrical Cross-Modality Refinement (UCMR) block and a Semantic-Guided Multi-level Contrastive (SGMC) module. The UCMR block includes Pose-guided Visual Refinement (P2V-R) and Visual-enriched Pose Refinement (V2P-R) for effective cross-modality learning. The SGMC module includes Multi-level Contrastive Associations of vision-text and pose-text at both action and sub-action levels and a Semantic-Guided Loss enabling effective contrastive learning with text. Built upon a pre-trained VL foundation model our model integrates trainable adapters and can be trained end-to-end. Our novel PeVL design over VL foundation model yields remarkable performance gains on four fine- grained human action recognition datasets achieving a new SOTA with a significantly small number of FLOPs for low- cost re-training.

Recently some large kernel convnets strike back with appealing performance and efficiency. However given the square complexity of convolution scaling up kernels can bring about an enormous amount of parameters and the proliferated parameters can induce severe optimization problem. Due to these issues current CNNs compromise to scale up to 51x51 in the form of stripe convolution (i.e. 51x5+5x51) and start to saturate as the kernel size continues growing. In this paper we delve into addressing these vital issues and explore whether we can continue scaling up kernels for more performance gains. Inspired by human vision we propose a human-like peripheral convolution that efficiently reduces over 90% parameter count of dense grid convolution through parameter sharing and manage to scale up kernel size to extremely large. Our peripheral convolution behaves highly similar to human reducing the complexity of convolution from O(K^2) to O(logK) without backfiring performance. Built on this we propose Parameter-efficient Large Kernel Network (PeLK). Our PeLK outperforms modern vision Transformers and ConvNet architectures like Swin ConvNeXt RepLKNet and SLaK on various vision tasks including ImageNet classification semantic segmentation on ADE20K and object detection on MS COCO. For the first time we successfully scale up the kernel size of CNNs to an unprecedented 101x101 and demonstrate consistent improvements.

Single image depth estimation is a foundational task in computer vision and generative modeling. However prevailing depth estimation models grapple with accommodating the increasing resolutions commonplace in today's consumer cameras and devices. Existing high-resolution strategies show promise but they often face limitations ranging from error propagation to the loss of high-frequency details. We present PatchFusion a novel tile-based framework with three key components to improve the current state of the art: (1) A patch-wise fusion network that fuses a globally-consistent coarse prediction with finer inconsistent tiled predictions via high-level feature guidance (2) A Global-to-Local (G2L) module that adds vital context to the fusion network discarding the need for patch selection heuristics and (3) A Consistency-Aware Training (CAT) and Inference (CAI) approach emphasizing patch overlap consistency and thereby eradicating the necessity for post-processing. Experiments on UnrealStereo4K MVS-Synth and Middleburry 2014 demonstrate that our framework can generate high-resolution depth maps with intricate details. PatchFusion is independent of the base model for depth estimation. Notably our framework built on top of SOTA ZoeDepth brings improvements for a total of 17.3% and 29.4% in terms of the root mean squared error (RMSE) on UnrealStereo4K and MVS-Synth respectively.

Diffusion MRI (dMRI) non-invasively maps brain white matter yet necessitates denoising due to low signal-to-noise ratios. Patch2Self (P2S) employing self-supervised techniques and regression on a Casorati matrix effectively denoises dMRI images and has become the new de-facto standard in this field. P2S however is resource intensive both in terms of running time and memory usage as it uses all voxels (n) from all-but-one held-in volumes (d-1) to learn a linear mapping Phi : \mathbb R ^ n x(d-1) \mapsto \mathbb R ^ n for denoising the held-out volume. The increasing size and dimensionality of higher resolution dMRI acquisitions can make P2S infeasible for large-scale analyses. This work exploits the redundancy imposed by P2S to alleviate its performance issues and inspect regions that influence the noise disproportionately. Specifically this study makes a three-fold contribution: (1) We present Patch2Self2 (P2S2) a method that uses matrix sketching to perform self-supervised denoising. By solving a sub-problem on a smaller sub-space so called coreset we show how P2S2 can yield a significant speedup in training time while using less memory. (2) We present a theoretical analysis of P2S2 focusing on determining the optimal sketch size through rank estimation a key step in achieving a balance between denoising accuracy and computational efficiency. (3) We show how the so-called statistical leverage scores can be used to interpret the denoising of dMRI data a process that was traditionally treated as a black-box. Experimental results on both simulated and real data affirm that P2S2 maintains denoising quality while significantly enhancing speed and memory efficiency achieved by training on a reduced data subset.

Passive compact single-shot 3D sensing is useful in many application areas such as microscopy medical imaging surgical navigation and autonomous driving where form factor time and power constraints can exist. Obtaining RGB-D scene information over a short imaging distance in an ultra-compact form factor and in a passive snapshot manner is challenging. Dual-pixel (DP) sensors are a potential solution to achieve the same. DP sensors collect light rays from two different halves of the lens in two interleaved pixel arrays thus capturing two slightly different views of the scene like a stereo camera system. However imaging with a DP sensor implies that the defocus blur size is directly proportional to the disparity seen between the views. This creates a trade-off between disparity estimation vs. deblurring accuracy. To improve this trade-off effect we propose CADS (Coded Aperture Dual-Pixel Sensing) in which we use a coded aperture in the imaging lens along with a DP sensor. In our approach we jointly learn an optimal coded pattern and the reconstruction algorithm in an end-to-end optimization setting. Our resulting CADS imaging system demonstrates improvement of >1.5dB PSNR in all-in-focus (AIF) estimates and 5-6% in depth estimation quality over naive DP sensing for a wide range of aperture settings. Furthermore we build the proposed CADS prototypes for DSLR photography settings and in an endoscope and a dermoscope form factor. Our novel coded dual-pixel sensing approach demonstrates accurate RGB-D reconstruction results in simulations and real-world experiments in a passive snapshot and compact manner.

Finding correspondences between 3D shapes is an important and long-standing problem in computer vision graphics and beyond. A prominent challenge are partial-to-partial shape matching settings which occur when the shapes to match are only observed incompletely (e.g. from 3D scanning). Although partial-to-partial matching is a highly relevant setting in practice it is rarely explored. Our work bridges the gap between existing (rather artificial) 3D full shape matching and partial-to-partial real-world settings by exploiting geometric consistency as a strong constraint. We demonstrate that it is indeed possible to solve this challenging problem in a variety of settings. For the first time we achieve geometric consistency for partial-to-partial matching which is realized by a novel integer non-linear program formalism building on triangle product spaces along with a new pruning algorithm based on linear integer programming. Further we generate a new inter-class dataset for partial-to-partial shape-matching. We show that our method outperforms current SOTA methods on both an established intra-class dataset and our novel inter-class dataset.

This paper proposes a cross-modal distillation framework PartDistill which transfers 2D knowledge from vision-language models (VLMs) to facilitate 3D shape part segmentation. PartDistill addresses three major challenges in this task: the lack of 3D segmentation in invisible or undetected regions in the 2D projections inconsistent 2D predictions by VLMs and the lack of knowledge accumulation across different 3D shapes. PartDistill consists of a teacher network that uses a VLM to make 2D predictions and a student network that learns from the 2D predictions while extracting geometrical features from multiple 3D shapes to carry out 3D part segmentation. A bi-directional distillation including forward and backward distillations is carried out within the framework where the former forward distills the 2D predictions to the student network and the latter improves the quality of the 2D predictions which subsequently enhances the final 3D segmentation. Moreover PartDistill can exploit generative models that facilitate effortless 3D shape creation for generating knowledge sources to be distilled. Through extensive experiments PartDistill boosts the existing methods with substantial margins on widely used ShapeNetPart and PartNetE datasets by more than 15% and 12% higher mIoU scores respectively. The code for this work is available at https://github.com/ardianumam/PartDistill.

While remarkable progress has been made on supervised skeleton-based action recognition the challenge of zero-shot recognition remains relatively unexplored. In this paper we argue that relying solely on aligning label-level semantics and global skeleton features is insufficient to effectively transfer locally consistent visual knowledge from seen to unseen classes. To address this limitation we introduce Part-aware Unified Representation between Language and Skeleton (PURLS) to explore visual-semantic alignment at both local and global scales. PURLS introduces a new prompting module and a novel partitioning module to generate aligned textual and visual representations across different levels. The former leverages a pre-trained GPT-3 to infer refined descriptions of the global and local (body-part-based and temporal-interval-based) movements from the original action labels. The latter employs an adaptive sampling strategy to group visual features from all body joint movements that are semantically relevant to a given description. Our approach is evaluated on various skeleton/language backbones and three large-scale datasets i.e. NTU-RGB+D 60 NTU-RGB+D 120 and a newly curated dataset Kinetics-skeleton 200. The results showcase the universality and superior performance of PURLS surpassing prior skeleton-based solutions and standard baselines from other domains. The source codes can be accessed at https://github.com/azzh1/PURLS.

The large-scale visual pretraining has significantly improve the performance of large vision models. However we observe the low FLOPs pitfall that the existing low-FLOPs models cannot benefit from large-scale pretraining. In this paper we introduce a novel design principle termed ParameterNet aimed at augmenting the number of parameters in large-scale visual pretraining models while minimizing the increase in FLOPs. We leverage dynamic convolutions to incorporate additional parameters into the networks with only a marginal rise in FLOPs. The ParameterNet approach allows low-FLOPs networks to take advantage of large-scale visual pretraining. Furthermore we extend the ParameterNet concept to the language domain to enhance inference results while preserving inference speed. Experiments on the large-scale ImageNet-22K have shown the superiority of our ParameterNet scheme. For example ParameterNet-600M can achieve higher accuracy than the widely-used Swin Transformer (81.6% vs. 80.9%) and has much lower FLOPs (0.6G vs. 4.5G). The code will be released at https://parameternet.github.io/.

As large-scale foundation models become publicly available for different domains efficiently adapting them to individual downstream applications and additional data modalities has turned into a central challenge. For example foundation models for geospatial and satellite remote sensing applications are commonly trained on large optical RGB or multi-spectral datasets although data from a wide variety of heterogeneous sensors are available in the remote sensing domain. This leads to significant discrepancies between pre-training and downstream target data distributions for many important applications. Fine-tuning large foundation models to bridge that gap incurs high computational cost and can be infeasible when target datasets are small. In this paper we address the question of how large pre-trained foundational transformer models can be efficiently adapted to downstream remote sensing tasks involving different data modalities or limited dataset size. We present a self-supervised adaptation method that boosts downstream linear evaluation accuracy of different foundation models by 4-6% (absolute) across 8 remote sensing datasets while outperforming full fine-tuning when training only 1-2% of the model parameters. Our method significantly improves label efficiency and increases few-shot accuracy by 6-10% on different datasets.

Parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) is an effective methodology to unleash the potential of large foundation models in novel scenarios with limited training data. In the computer vision community PEFT has shown effectiveness in image classification but little research has studied its ability for image segmentation. Fine-tuning segmentation models usually require a heavier adjustment of parameters to align the proper projection directions in the parameter space for new scenarios. This raises a challenge to existing PEFT algorithms as they often inject a limited number of individual parameters into each block which prevents substantial adjustment of the projection direction of the parameter space due to the limitation of Hidden Markov Chain along blocks. In this paper we equip PEFT with a cross-block orchestration mechanism to enable the adaptation of the Segment Anything Model (SAM) to various downstream scenarios. We introduce a novel inter-block communication module which integrates a learnable relation matrix to facilitate communication among different coefficient sets of each PEFT block's parameter space. Moreover we propose an intra-block enhancement module which introduces a linear projection head whose weights are generated from a hyper-complex layer further enhancing the impact of the adjustment of projection directions on the entire parameter space. Extensive experiments on diverse benchmarks demonstrate that our proposed approach consistently improves the segmentation performance significantly on novel scenarios with only around 1K additional parameters.

RAW images are rarely shared mainly due to its excessive data size compared to their sRGB counterparts obtained by camera ISPs. Learning the forward and inverse processes of camera ISPs has been recently demonstrated enabling physically-meaningful RAW-level image processing on input sRGB images. However existing learning-based ISP methods fail to handle the large variations in the ISP processes with respect to camera parameters such as ISO and exposure time and have limitations when used for various applications. In this paper we propose ParamISP a learning-based method for forward and inverse conversion between sRGB and RAW images that adopts a novel neural-network module to utilize camera parameters which is dubbed as ParamNet. Given the camera parameters provided in the EXIF data ParamNet converts them into a feature vector to control the ISP networks. Extensive experiments demonstrate that ParamISP achieve superior RAW and sRGB reconstruction results compared to previous methods and it can be effectively used for a variety of applications such as deblurring dataset synthesis raw deblurring HDR reconstruction and camera-to-camera transfer.
