对象接地任务旨在通过口头通信定位图像中的目标对象。了解人类命令是有效人体机器人通信所需的重要过程。然而，这是具有挑战性的，因为人类命令可能是暧昧和错误的。本文旨在消除人类的引用表达式，允许代理基于从场景图获得的语义数据提出相关问题。我们测试如果我们的代理可以从场景图之间使用对象之间的关系，以便询问可以消除原始用户命令的语义相关问题。在本文中，我们使用场景图（IGSG）提出增量接地，消歧模型使用从图像场景图和语言场景图到基于人类命令的地面对象的语义数据的歧义模型。与基线相比，IGSG显示了有希望的成果，在有多个相同的目标对象的复杂现实场景中。 IGSG可以通过要求消除歧义问题回到用户来有效消除歧义或错误的表达式。

隐式3D表示的最新进展，即神经辐射场（NERFS），以可区分的方式使准确且具有逼真的3D重建成为可能。这种新的表示可以有效地以一种紧凑的格式传达数百个高分辨率图像的信息，并允许对新观点的逼真综合。在这项工作中，使用NERF的变体称为全体氧，我们为感知任务创建了第一个大规模隐式表示数据集，称为Fustection，该数据集由两个部分组成，这些部分既包含以对象为中心和场景为中心的扫描，用于分类和分段， 。它显示了原始数据集的显着内存压缩率（96.4 \％），同时以统一形式包含2D和3D信息。我们构建了直接作为输入这种隐式格式的分类和分割模型，并提出了一种新颖的增强技术，以避免在图像的背景上过度拟合。代码和数据可在https://postech-cvlab.github.io/perfception中公开获得。

我们研究学习特征姿势的问题，即比例和方向，以构成感兴趣的图像区域。尽管它显然很简单，但问题是不平凡的。很难获得具有模型直接从中学习的明确姿势注释的大规模图像区域。为了解决这个问题，我们通过直方图对准技术提出了一个自制的学习框架。它通过随机重新缩放/旋转来生成成对的图像贴片，然后训练估计器以预测其比例/方向值，从而使其相对差异与所使用的重新分组/旋转一致。估算器学会了预测规模/方向的非参数直方图分布，而无需任何监督。实验表明，它在规模/方向估计中显着优于先前的方法，还可以通过将我们的斑块姿势纳入匹配过程中来改善图像匹配和6个DOF相机姿势估计。

最近神经网络的成功使得能够更好地解释3D点云，但是处理大规模的3D场景仍然是一个具有挑战性的问题。大多数电流方法将大型场景划分为小区，并将当地预测组合在一起。然而，该方案不可避免地涉及预处理和后处理的附加阶段，并且由于局部视角下的预测也可能降低最终输出。本文介绍了由新的轻质自我关注层组成的快速点变压器。我们的方法编码连续的3D坐标，基于体素散列的架构提高了计算效率。所提出的方法用3D语义分割和3D检测进行了说明。我们的方法的准确性对基于最佳的体素的方法具有竞争力，我们的网络达到了比最先进的点变压器更快的推理时间速度更快的136倍，具有合理的准确性权衡。

The 3D-aware image synthesis focuses on conserving spatial consistency besides generating high-resolution images with fine details. Recently, Neural Radiance Field (NeRF) has been introduced for synthesizing novel views with low computational cost and superior performance. While several works investigate a generative NeRF and show remarkable achievement, they cannot handle conditional and continuous feature manipulation in the generation procedure. In this work, we introduce a novel model, called Class-Continuous Conditional Generative NeRF ($\text{C}^{3}$G-NeRF), which can synthesize conditionally manipulated photorealistic 3D-consistent images by projecting conditional features to the generator and the discriminator. The proposed $\text{C}^{3}$G-NeRF is evaluated with three image datasets, AFHQ, CelebA, and Cars. As a result, our model shows strong 3D-consistency with fine details and smooth interpolation in conditional feature manipulation. For instance, $\text{C}^{3}$G-NeRF exhibits a Fr\'echet Inception Distance (FID) of 7.64 in 3D-aware face image synthesis with a $\text{128}^{2}$ resolution. Additionally, we provide FIDs of generated 3D-aware images of each class of the datasets as it is possible to synthesize class-conditional images with $\text{C}^{3}$G-NeRF.

In both terrestrial and marine ecology, physical tagging is a frequently used method to study population dynamics and behavior. However, such tagging techniques are increasingly being replaced by individual re-identification using image analysis. This paper introduces a contrastive learning-based model for identifying individuals. The model uses the first parts of the Inception v3 network, supported by a projection head, and we use contrastive learning to find similar or dissimilar image pairs from a collection of uniform photographs. We apply this technique for corkwing wrasse, Symphodus melops, an ecologically and commercially important fish species. Photos are taken during repeated catches of the same individuals from a wild population, where the intervals between individual sightings might range from a few days to several years. Our model achieves a one-shot accuracy of 0.35, a 5-shot accuracy of 0.56, and a 100-shot accuracy of 0.88, on our dataset.

Feature selection helps reduce data acquisition costs in ML, but the standard approach is to train models with static feature subsets. Here, we consider the dynamic feature selection (DFS) problem where a model sequentially queries features based on the presently available information. DFS is often addressed with reinforcement learning (RL), but we explore a simpler approach of greedily selecting features based on their conditional mutual information. This method is theoretically appealing but requires oracle access to the data distribution, so we develop a learning approach based on amortized optimization. The proposed method is shown to recover the greedy policy when trained to optimality and outperforms numerous existing feature selection methods in our experiments, thus validating it as a simple but powerful approach for this problem.

The purpose of this work was to tackle practical issues which arise when using a tendon-driven robotic manipulator with a long, passive, flexible proximal section in medical applications. A separable robot which overcomes difficulties in actuation and sterilization is introduced, in which the body containing the electronics is reusable and the remainder is disposable. A control input which resolves the redundancy in the kinematics and a physical interpretation of this redundancy are provided. The effect of a static change in the proximal section angle on bending angle error was explored under four testing conditions for a sinusoidal input. Bending angle error increased for increasing proximal section angle for all testing conditions with an average error reduction of 41.48% for retension, 4.28% for hysteresis, and 52.35% for re-tension + hysteresis compensation relative to the baseline case. Two major sources of error in tracking the bending angle were identified: time delay from hysteresis and DC offset from the proximal section angle. Examination of these error sources revealed that the simple hysteresis compensation was most effective for removing time delay and re-tension compensation for removing DC offset, which was the primary source of increasing error. The re-tension compensation was also tested for dynamic changes in the proximal section and reduced error in the final configuration of the tip by 89.14% relative to the baseline case.

According to the rapid development of drone technologies, drones are widely used in many applications including military domains. In this paper, a novel situation-aware DRL- based autonomous nonlinear drone mobility control algorithm in cyber-physical loitering munition applications. On the battlefield, the design of DRL-based autonomous control algorithm is not straightforward because real-world data gathering is generally not available. Therefore, the approach in this paper is that cyber-physical virtual environment is constructed with Unity environment. Based on the virtual cyber-physical battlefield scenarios, a DRL-based automated nonlinear drone mobility control algorithm can be designed, evaluated, and visualized. Moreover, many obstacles exist which is harmful for linear trajectory control in real-world battlefield scenarios. Thus, our proposed autonomous nonlinear drone mobility control algorithm utilizes situation-aware components those are implemented with a Raycast function in Unity virtual scenarios. Based on the gathered situation-aware information, the drone can autonomously and nonlinearly adjust its trajectory during flight. Therefore, this approach is obviously beneficial for avoiding obstacles in obstacle-deployed battlefields. Our visualization-based performance evaluation shows that the proposed algorithm is superior from the other linear mobility control algorithms.

In robotics and computer vision communities, extensive studies have been widely conducted regarding surveillance tasks, including human detection, tracking, and motion recognition with a camera. Additionally, deep learning algorithms are widely utilized in the aforementioned tasks as in other computer vision tasks. Existing public datasets are insufficient to develop learning-based methods that handle various surveillance for outdoor and extreme situations such as harsh weather and low illuminance conditions. Therefore, we introduce a new large-scale outdoor surveillance dataset named eXtremely large-scale Multi-modAl Sensor dataset (X-MAS) containing more than 500,000 image pairs and the first-person view data annotated by well-trained annotators. Moreover, a single pair contains multi-modal data (e.g. an IR image, an RGB image, a thermal image, a depth image, and a LiDAR scan). This is the first large-scale first-person view outdoor multi-modal dataset focusing on surveillance tasks to the best of our knowledge. We present an overview of the proposed dataset with statistics and present methods of exploiting our dataset with deep learning-based algorithms. The latest information on the dataset and our study are available at https://github.com/lge-robot-navi, and the dataset will be available for download through a server.
