Neural radiance field (NeRF) is an emerging technique for 3D scene reconstruction and modeling. However current NeRF-based methods are limited in the capabilities of adding or removing objects. This paper fills the aforementioned gap by proposing a new language-driven method for object manipulation in NeRFs through dataset updates. Specifically to insert an object represented by a set of multi-view images into a background NeRF we use a text-to-image diffusion model to blend the object into the given background across views. The generated images are then used to update the NeRF so that we can render view-consistent images of the object within the background. To ensure view consistency we propose a dataset update strategy that prioritizes the radiance field training based on camera poses in a pose-ordered manner. We validate our method in two case studies: object insertion and object removal. Experimental results show that our method can generate photo-realistic results and achieves state-of-the-art performance in NeRF editing.

Grasp detection is a persistent and intricate challenge with various industrial applications. Recently many methods and datasets have been proposed to tackle the grasp detection problem. However most of them do not consider using natural language as a condition to detect the grasp poses. In this paper we introduce Grasp-Anything++ a new language-driven grasp detection dataset featuring 1M samples over 3M objects and upwards of 10M grasping instructions. We utilize foundation models to create a large-scale scene corpus with corresponding images and grasp prompts. We approach the language-driven grasp detection task as a conditional generation problem. Drawing on the success of diffusion models in generative tasks and given that language plays a vital role in this task we propose a new language-driven grasp detection method based on diffusion models. Our key contribution is the contrastive training objective which explicitly contributes to the denoising process to detect the grasp pose given the language instructions. We illustrate that our approach is theoretically supportive. The intensive experiments show that our method outperforms state-of-the-art approaches and allows real-world robotic grasping. Finally we demonstrate our large-scale dataset enables zero-short grasp detection and is a challenging benchmark for future work.

We present a new open-vocabulary detection framework. Our framework uses both image-level labels and detailed detection annotations when available. Our framework proceeds in three steps. We first train a language-conditioned object detector on fully-supervised detection data. This detector gets to see the presence or absence of ground truth classes during training and conditions prediction on the set of present classes. We use this detector to pseudo-label images with image-level labels. Our detector provides much more accurate pseudo-labels than prior approaches with its conditioning mechanism. Finally we train an unconditioned open-vocabulary detector on the pseudo-annotated images. The resulting detector named DECOLA shows strong zero-shot performance in open-vocabulary LVIS benchmark as well as direct zero-shot transfer benchmarks on LVIS COCO Object365 and OpenImages. DECOLA outperforms the prior arts by 17.1 AP-rare and 9.4 mAP on zero-shot LVIS benchmark. DECOLA achieves state-of-the-art results in various model sizes architectures and datasets by only training on open-sourced data and academic-scale computing.

Monocular 3D lane detection has become a fundamental problem in the context of autonomous driving which comprises the tasks of finding the road surface and locating lane markings. One major challenge lies in a flexible but robust line representation capable of modeling complex lane structures while still avoiding unpredictable behavior. While previous methods rely on fully data-driven approaches we instead introduce a novel approach LaneCPP that uses a continuous 3D lane detection model leveraging physical prior knowledge about the lane structure and road geometry. While our sophisticated lane model is capable of modeling complex road structures it also shows robust behavior since physical constraints are incorporated by means of a regularization scheme that can be analytically applied to our parametric representation. Moreover we incorporate prior knowledge about the road geometry into the 3D feature space by modeling geometry-aware spatial features guiding the network to learn an internal road surface representation. In our experiments we show the benefits of our contributions and prove the meaningfulness of using priors to make 3D lane detection more robust. The results show that LaneCPP achieves state-of-the-art performance in terms of F-Score and geometric errors.

In this paper we present a novel sequence generation-based framework for lane detection called Lane2Seq. It unifies various lane detection formats by casting lane detection as a sequence generation task. This is different from previous lane detection methods which depend on well-designed task-specific head networks and corresponding loss functions. Lane2Seq only adopts a plain transformer-based encoder-decoder architecture with a simple cross-entropy loss. Additionally we propose a new multi-format model tuning based on reinforcement learning to incorporate the task-specific knowledge into Lane2Seq. Experimental results demonstrate that such a simple sequence generation paradigm not only unifies lane detection but also achieves competitive performance on benchmarks. For example Lane2Seq gets 97.95% and 97.42% F1 score on Tusimple and LLAMAS datasets establishing a new state-of-the-art result for two benchmarks.

The evolution of Diffusion Models has dramatically improved image generation quality making it increasingly difficult to differentiate between real and generated images. This development while impressive also raises significant privacy and security concerns. In response to this we propose a novel Latent REconstruction error guided feature REfinement method (LaRE^2) for detecting the diffusion-generated images. We come up with the Latent Reconstruction Error (LaRE) the first reconstruction-error based feature in the latent space for generated image detection. LaRE surpasses existing methods in terms of feature extraction efficiency while preserving crucial cues required to differentiate between the real and the fake. To exploit LaRE we propose an Error-Guided feature REfinement module (EGRE) which can refine the image feature guided by LaRE to enhance the discriminativeness of the feature. Our EGRE utilizes an align-then-refine mechanism which effectively refines the image feature for generated-image detection from both spatial and channel perspectives. Extensive experiments on the large-scale GenImage benchmark demonstrate the superiority of our LaRE^2 which surpasses the best SoTA method by up to 11.9%/12.1% average ACC/AP across 8 different image generators. LaRE also surpasses existing methods in terms of feature extraction cost delivering an impressive speed enhancement of 8 times.

Object detection with event cameras benefits from the sensor's low latency and high dynamic range. However it is costly to fully label event streams for supervised training due to their high temporal resolution. To reduce this cost we present LEOD the first method for label-efficient event-based detection. Our approach unifies weakly- and semi-supervised object detection with a self-training mechanism. We first utilize a detector pre-trained on limited labels to produce pseudo ground truth on unlabeled events. Then the detector is re-trained with both real and generated labels. Leveraging the temporal consistency of events we run bi-directional inference and apply tracking-based post-processing to enhance the quality of pseudo labels. To stabilize training against label noise we further design a soft anchor assignment strategy. We introduce new experimental protocols to evaluate the task of label-efficient event-based detection on Gen1 and 1Mpx datasets. LEOD consistently outperforms supervised baselines across various labeling ratios. For example on Gen1 it improves mAP by 8.6% and 7.8% for RVT-S trained with 1% and 2% labels. On 1Mpx RVT-S with 10% labels even surpasses its fully-supervised counterpart using 100% labels. LEOD maintains its effectiveness even when all labeled data are available reaching new state-of-the-art results. Finally we show that our method readily scales to improve larger detectors as well. Code is released at https://github.com/Wuziyi616/LEOD.

Segmenting affordance in 3D data is key for bridging perception and action in robots. Existing efforts mostly focus on the visual side and overlook the affordance knowledge from a semantic aspect. This oversight not only limits their generalization to unseen objects but more importantly hinders their synergy with large language models (LLMs) which are excellent task planners that can decompose an overarching command into agent-actionable instructions. With this regard we propose a novel task Language-guided Affordance Segmentation on 3D Object (LASO) which challenges a model to segment a 3D object's part relevant to a given affordance question. To facilitate the task we contribute a dataset comprising 19751 point-question pairs covering 8434 object shapes and 870 expert-crafted questions. As a pioneer solution we further propose PointRefer which highlights an adaptive fusion module to identify target affordance regions at different scales. To ensure a text-aware segmentation we adopt a set of affordance queries conditioned on linguistic cues to generate dynamic kernels. These kernels are further used to convolute with point features and generate a segmentation mask. Comprehensive experiments and analyses validate PointRefer's effectiveness. With these efforts We hope that LASO can steer the direction of 3D affordance guiding it towards enhanced integration with the evolving capabilities of LLMs.

This paper introduces a novel approach for high-quality deepfake detection called Localized Artifact Attention Network (LAA-Net). Existing methods for high-quality deepfake detection are mainly based on a supervised binary classifier coupled with an implicit attention mechanism. As a result they do not generalize well to unseen manipulations. To handle this issue two main contributions are made. First an explicit attention mechanism within a multi-task learning framework is proposed. By combining heatmap-based and self-consistency attention strategies LAA-Net is forced to focus on a few small artifact-prone vulnerable regions. Second an Enhanced Feature Pyramid Network (E-FPN) is proposed as a simple and effective mechanism for spreading discriminative low-level features into the final feature output with the advantage of limiting redundancy. Experiments performed on several benchmarks show the superiority of our approach in terms of Area Under the Curve (AUC) and Average Precision (AP). The code is available at https://github.com/10Ring/LAA-Net.

Segmentation-based scene text detection algorithms that are accurate to the pixel level can satisfy the detection of arbitrary shape scene text and have received widespread attention. On the one hand due to the complexity and diversity of the scene text the convolution with a fixed kernel size has some limitations in extracting the visual features of the scene text. On the other hand most of the existing segmentation-based algorithms only segment the center of the text losing information such as the edges and directions of the text with limited detection accuracy. There are also some improved algorithms that use iterative corrections or introduce other multiple information to improve text detection accuracy but at the expense of efficiency. To address these issues this paper proposes a simple and effective scene text detection method the Kernel Adaptive Convolution which is designed with a Kernel Adaptive Convolution Module for scene text detection via predicting the distance map. Specifically first we design an extensible kernel adaptive convolution module (KACM) to extract visual features from multiple convolutions with different kernel sizes in an adaptive manner. Secondly our method predicts the text distance map under the supervision of a priori information (including direction map and foreground segmentation map) and completes the text detection from the predicted distance map. Experiments on four publicly available datasets prove the effectiveness of our algorithm in which the accuracy and efficiency of both the Total-Text and TD500 outperform the state-of-the-art algorithm. The algorithm efficiency is improved while the accuracy is competitive on ArT and CTW1500.

DETR is a novel end-to-end transformer architecture object detector which significantly outperforms classic detectors when scaling up. In this paper we focus on the compression of DETR with knowledge distillation. While knowledge distillation has been well-studied in classic detectors there is a lack of researches on how to make it work effectively on DETR. We first provide experimental and theoretical analysis to point out that the main challenge in DETR distillation is the lack of consistent distillation points. Distillation points refer to the corresponding inputs of the predictions for student to mimic which have different formulations in CNN detector and DETR and reliable distillation requires sufficient distillation points which are consistent between teacher and student. Based on this observation we propose the first general knowledge distillation paradigm for DETR(KD-DETR) with consistent distillation points sampling for both homogeneous and heterogeneous distillation. Specifically we decouple detection and distillation tasks by introducing a set of specialized object queries to construct distillation points for DETR. We further propose a general-to-specific distillation points sampling strategy to explore the extensibility of KD-DETR. Extensive experiments validate the effectiveness and generalization of KD-DETR. For both single-scale DAB-DETR and multis-scale Deformable DETR and DINO KD-DETR boost the performance of student model with improvements of 2.6%-5.2%. We further extend KD-DETR to heterogeneous distillation and achieves 2.1% improvement by distilling the knowledge from DINO to Faster R-CNN with ResNet-50 which is comparable with homogeneous distillation methods.

Human-object contact serves as a strong cue to understand how humans physically interact with objects. Nevertheless it is not widely explored to utilize human-object contact information for the joint reconstruction of 3D human and object from a single image. In this work we present a novel joint 3D human-object reconstruction method (CONTHO) that effectively exploits contact information between humans and objects. There are two core designs in our system: 1) 3D-guided contact estimation and 2) contact-based 3D human and object refinement. First for accurate human-object contact estimation CONTHO initially reconstructs 3D humans and objects and utilizes them as explicit 3D guidance for contact estimation. Second to refine the initial reconstructions of 3D human and object we propose a novel contact-based refinement Transformer that effectively aggregates human features and object features based on the estimated human-object contact. The proposed contact-based refinement prevents the learning of erroneous correlation between human and object which enables accurate 3D reconstruction. As a result our CONTHO achieves state-of-the-art performance in both human-object contact estimation and joint reconstruction of 3D human and object. The codes are available in https://github.com/dqj5182/CONTHO_RELEASE.

The perception of 3D motion of surrounding traffic participants is crucial for driving safety. While existing works primarily focus on general large motions we contend that the instantaneous detection and quantification of subtle motions is equally important as they indicate the nuances in driving behavior that may be safety critical such as behaviors near a stop sign of parking positions. We delve into this under-explored task examining its unique challenges and developing our solution accompanied by a carefully designed benchmark. Specifically due to the lack of correspondences between consecutive frames of sparse Lidar point clouds static objects might appear to be moving - the so-called swimming effect. This intertwines with the true object motion thereby posing ambiguity in accurate estimation especially for subtle motion. To address this we propose to leverage local occupancy completion of object point clouds to densify the shape cue and mitigate the impact of swimming artifacts. The occupancy completion is learned in an end-to-end fashion together with the detection of moving objects and the estimation of their motion instantaneously as soon as objects start to move. Extensive experiments demonstrate superior performance compared to standard 3D motion estimation approaches particularly highlighting our method's specialized treatment of subtle motion.

Category-level 6D object pose estimation aims to estimate the rotation translation and size of unseen instances within specific categories. In this area dense correspondence-based methods have achieved leading performance. However they do not explicitly consider the local and global geometric information of different instances resulting in poor generalization ability to unseen instances with significant shape variations. To deal with this problem we propose a novel Instance-adaptive and To deal with this problem we propose a novel Instance-Adaptive and Geometric-Aware Keypoint Learning method for category-level 6D object pose estimation (AG-Pose) which includes two key designs: (1) The first design is an Instance-Adaptive Keypoint Detection module which can adaptively detect a set of sparse keypoints for various instances to represent their geometric structures. (2) The second design is a Geometric-Aware Feature Aggregation module which can efficiently integrate the local and global geometric information into keypoint features. These two modules can work together to establish robust keypoint-level correspondences for unseen instances thus enhancing the generalization ability of the model.Experimental results on CAMERA25 and REAL275 datasets show that the proposed AG-Pose outperforms state-of-the-art methods by a large margin without category-specific shape priors.

In this paper we present a novel paradigm to enhance the ability of object detector e.g. expanding categories or improving detection performance by training on syn- thetic dataset generated from diffusion models. Specifically we integrate an instance-level grounding head into a pre- trained generative diffusion model to augment it with the ability of localising instances in the generated images. The grounding head is trained to align the text embedding of category names with the regional visual feature of the diffusion model using supervision from an off-the-shelf object detector and a novel self-training scheme on (novel) categories not covered by the detector. We conduct thorough experiments to show that this enhanced version of diffusion model termed as InstaGen can serve as a data synthesizer to enhance object detectors by training on its generated samples demonstrating superior performance over existing state-of-the-art methods in open-vocabulary (+4.5 AP) and data-sparse (+1.2 ? 5.2 AP) scenarios.

Recently infrared small target detection (IRSTD) has been dominated by deep-learning-based methods. However these methods mainly focus on the design of complex model structures to extract discriminative features leaving the loss functions for IRSTD under-explored. For example the widely used Intersection over Union (IoU) and Dice losses lack sensitivity to the scales and locations of targets limiting the detection performance of detectors. In this paper we focus on boosting detection performance with a more effective loss but a simpler model structure. Specifically we first propose a novel Scale and Location Sensitive (SLS) loss to handle the limitations of existing losses: 1) for scale sensitivity we compute a weight for the IoU loss based on target scales to help the detector distinguish targets with different scales: 2) for location sensitivity we introduce a penalty term based on the center points of targets to help the detector localize targets more precisely. Then we design a simple Multi-Scale Head to the plain U-Net (MSHNet). By applying SLS loss to each scale of the predictions our MSHNet outperforms existing state-of-the-art methods by a large margin. In addition the detection performance of existing detectors can be further improved when trained with our SLS loss demonstrating the effectiveness and generalization of our SLS loss. The code is available at https://github.com/ying-fu/MSHNet.

Infrared physical adversarial examples are of great significance for studying the security of infrared AI systems that are widely used in our lives such as autonomous driving. Previous infrared physical attacks mainly focused on 2D infrared pedestrian detection which may not fully manifest its destructiveness to AI systems. In this work we propose a physical attack method against infrared detectors based on 3D modeling which is applied to a real car. The goal is to design a set of infrared adversarial stickers to make cars invisible to infrared detectors at various viewing angles distances and scenes. We build a 3D infrared car model with real infrared characteristics and propose an infrared adversarial pattern generation method based on 3D mesh shadow. We propose a 3D control points-based mesh smoothing algorithm and use a set of smoothness loss functions to enhance the smoothness of adversarial meshes and facilitate the sticker implementation. Besides We designed the aluminum stickers and conducted physical experiments on two real Mercedes-Benz A200L cars. Our adversarial stickers hid the cars from Faster RCNN an object detector at various viewing angles distances and scenes. The attack success rate (ASR) was 91.49% for real cars. In comparison the ASRs of random stickers and no sticker were only 6.21% and 0.66% respectively. In addition the ASRs of the designed stickers against six unseen object detectors such as YOLOv3 and Deformable DETR were between 73.35%-95.80% showing good transferability of the attack performance across detectors.

Existing object recognition models have been shown to lack robustness in diverse geographical scenarios due to domain shifts in design and context. Class representations need to be adapted to more accurately reflect an object concept under these shifts. In the absence of training data from target geographies we hypothesize that geographically diverse descriptive knowledge of categories can enhance robustness. For this purpose we explore the feasibility of probing a large language model for geography-based object knowledge and we examine the effects of integrating knowledge into zero-shot and learnable soft prompting with CLIP. Within this exploration we propose geography knowledge regularization to ensure that soft prompts trained on a source set of geographies generalize to an unseen target set. Accuracy gains over prompting baselines on DollarStreet while training only on Europe data are up to +2.8/1.2/1.6 on target data from Africa/Asia/Americas and +4.6 overall on the hardest classes. Competitive performance is shown vs. few-shot target training and analysis is provided to direct future study of geographical robustness.

We propose InNeRF360 an automatic system that accurately removes text-specified objects from 360-degree Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF). The challenge is to effectively remove objects while inpainting perceptually consistent content for the missing regions which is particularly demanding for existing NeRF models due to their implicit volumetric representation. Moreover unbounded scenes are more prone to floater artifacts in the inpainted region than frontal-facing scenes as the change of object appearance and background across views is more sensitive to inaccurate segmentations and inconsistent inpainting. With a trained NeRF and a text description our method efficiently removes specified objects and inpaints visually consistent content without artifacts. We apply depth-space warping to enforce consistency across multiview text-encoded segmentations and then refine the inpainted NeRF model using perceptual priors and 3D diffusion-based geometric priors to ensure visual plausibility. Through extensive experiments in segmentation and inpainting on 360-degree and frontal-facing NeRFs we show that InNeRF360 is effective and enhances NeRF's editability.
