In this work, we present a dense tracking and mapping system named Vox-Fusion, which seamlessly fuses neural implicit representations with traditional volumetric fusion methods. Our approach is inspired by the recently developed implicit mapping and positioning system and further extends the idea so that it can be freely applied to practical scenarios. Specifically, we leverage a voxel-based neural implicit surface representation to encode and optimize the scene inside each voxel. Furthermore, we adopt an octree-based structure to divide the scene and support dynamic expansion, enabling our system to track and map arbitrary scenes without knowing the environment like in previous works. Moreover, we proposed a high-performance multi-process framework to speed up the method, thus supporting some applications that require real-time performance. The evaluation results show that our methods can achieve better accuracy and completeness than previous methods. We also show that our Vox-Fusion can be used in augmented reality and virtual reality applications. Our source code is publicly available at https://github.com/zju3dv/Vox-Fusion.

我们提出了一个新颖的端到端RGB-D SLAM，IDF-SLAM，它采用了基于功能的深神经跟踪器作为前端和NERF风格的神经隐式映射器作为后端。神经隐式映射器经过训练，尽管神经跟踪器在扫描仪数据集中鉴定了，但它在神经隐式映射器的训练中也得到了挑战。在这样的设计下，我们的IDF-SLAM能够学习使用特定场景的功能进行相机跟踪，从而使SLAM系统的终身学习。在没有引入地面真相姿势的情况下，对追踪器和映射器的培训都进行了自我监督。我们测试了IDF-SLAM在副本和扫描数据集上的性能，并将结果与两个基于NERF的两个基于NERF的神经SLAM系统进行了比较。拟议的IDF-SLAM在相机跟踪中的场景重建和竞争性能方面展示了最先进的结果。

我们提出了场景运动的新颖双流表示，将光流分​​解为由摄像机运动引起的静态流场和另一个由场景中对象的运动引起的动态流场。基于此表示形式，我们提出了一个动态的大满贯，称为Deflowslam，它利用图像中的静态和动态像素来求解相机的姿势，而不是像其他动态SLAM系统一样简单地使用静态背景像素。我们提出了一个动态更新模块，以一种自我监督的方式训练我们的Deflowslam，其中密集的束调节层采用估计的静态流场和由动态掩码控制的权重，并输出优化的静态流动场的残差，相机姿势的残差，和反度。静态和动态流场是通过将当前图像翘曲到相邻图像来估计的，并且可以通过将两个字段求和来获得光流。广泛的实验表明，在静态场景和动态场景中，Deflowslam可以很好地推广到静态和动态场景，因为它表现出与静态和动态较小的场景中最先进的Droid-Slam相当的性能，同时在高度动态的环境中表现出明显优于Droid-Slam。代码和数据可在项目网页上找到：\ urlstyle {tt} \ textColor {url_color} {\ url {https://zju3dv.github.io/deflowslam/}}}。

我们提出了一个新颖的圆锥视觉探针仪框架，称为PVO，以对场景的运动，几何形状和泛型分割信息进行更全面的建模。 PVO在统一的视图中模拟视觉探光仪（VO）和视频全景分割（VPS），从而使这两个任务能够相互促进。具体来说，我们将一个泛型更新模块引入VO模块，该模块在图像泛型分段上运行。该泛型增强的VO模块可以通过调整优化的相机姿势的权重来修剪相机姿势估计中动态对象的干扰。另一方面，使用摄像头姿势，深度和光流，通过将当前帧的圆形分割结果融合到相邻框架中，从而提高了VO-增强VPS模块，从而提高了分割精度。模块。这两个模块通过反复的迭代优化互相贡献。广泛的实验表明，PVO在视觉景观和视频综合分割任务中的最先进方法均优于最先进的方法。代码和数据可在项目网页上找到：\ urlstyle {tt} \ textColor {url_color} {\ url {https://zju3dv.github.io/pvo/pvo/}}}。

我们描述了一种新的方法，该方法是基于与高级隐式语义特征的低级颜色和几何特征的汇总颜色和几何特征的室内识别。它使用了一个2阶段的深度学习框架，其中第一阶段经过了语义分割的辅助任务的训练，第二阶段的第二阶段使用了第一阶段的层中的特征来生成区分描述符以进行位置识别。辅助任务鼓励这些功能在语义上有意义，因此将RGB点云数据中的几何形状和颜色汇总为具有隐式语义信息。我们使用从扫描仪数据集派生的室内识别数据集进行培训和评估，其中一个包括由100个不同房间生成的3,608点云的测试集。与传统的基于功能的方法和四种最先进的深度学习方法进行比较表明，我们的方法显着优于所有五种方法，例如，取得前3名平均召回率为75％，而41％的平均召回率为41％最接近的竞争对手方法。我们的代码可在以下网址找到：https：//github.com/yuhangming/semantic-indoor-place-recognition

We aim to bridge the gap between our common-sense few-sample human learning and large-data machine learning. We derive a theory of human-like few-shot learning from von-Neuman-Landauer's principle. modelling human learning is difficult as how people learn varies from one to another. Under commonly accepted definitions, we prove that all human or animal few-shot learning, and major models including Free Energy Principle and Bayesian Program Learning that model such learning, approximate our theory, under Church-Turing thesis. We find that deep generative model like variational autoencoder (VAE) can be used to approximate our theory and perform significantly better than baseline models including deep neural networks, for image recognition, low resource language processing, and character recognition.

Existing measures and representations for trajectories have two longstanding fundamental shortcomings, i.e., they are computationally expensive and they can not guarantee the `uniqueness' property of a distance function: dist(X,Y) = 0 if and only if X=Y, where $X$ and $Y$ are two trajectories. This paper proposes a simple yet powerful way to represent trajectories and measure the similarity between two trajectories using a distributional kernel to address these shortcomings. It is a principled approach based on kernel mean embedding which has a strong theoretical underpinning. It has three distinctive features in comparison with existing approaches. (1) A distributional kernel is used for the very first time for trajectory representation and similarity measurement. (2) It does not rely on point-to-point distances which are used in most existing distances for trajectories. (3) It requires no learning, unlike existing learning and deep learning approaches. We show the generality of this new approach in three applications: (a) trajectory anomaly detection, (b) anomalous sub-trajectory detection, and (c) trajectory pattern mining. We identify that the distributional kernel has (i) a unique data-dependent property and the above uniqueness property which are the key factors that lead to its superior task-specific performance; and (ii) runtime orders of magnitude faster than existing distance measures.

Recent studies have shown that using an external Language Model (LM) benefits the end-to-end Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR). However, predicting tokens that appear less frequently in the training set is still quite challenging. The long-tail prediction problems have been widely studied in many applications, but only been addressed by a few studies for ASR and LMs. In this paper, we propose a new memory augmented lookup dictionary based Transformer architecture for LM. The newly introduced lookup dictionary incorporates rich contextual information in training set, which is vital to correctly predict long-tail tokens. With intensive experiments on Chinese and English data sets, our proposed method is proved to outperform the baseline Transformer LM by a great margin on both word/character error rate and tail tokens error rate. This is achieved without impact on the decoding efficiency. Overall, we demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed method in boosting the ASR decoding performance, especially for long-tail tokens.

Detecting abrupt changes in data distribution is one of the most significant tasks in streaming data analysis. Although many unsupervised Change-Point Detection (CPD) methods have been proposed recently to identify those changes, they still suffer from missing subtle changes, poor scalability, or/and sensitive to noise points. To meet these challenges, we are the first to generalise the CPD problem as a special case of the Change-Interval Detection (CID) problem. Then we propose a CID method, named iCID, based on a recent Isolation Distributional Kernel (IDK). iCID identifies the change interval if there is a high dissimilarity score between two non-homogeneous temporal adjacent intervals. The data-dependent property and finite feature map of IDK enabled iCID to efficiently identify various types of change points in data streams with the tolerance of noise points. Moreover, the proposed online and offline versions of iCID have the ability to optimise key parameter settings. The effectiveness and efficiency of iCID have been systematically verified on both synthetic and real-world datasets.

Video-language pre-training has advanced the performance of various downstream video-language tasks. However, most previous methods directly inherit or adapt typical image-language pre-training paradigms to video-language pre-training, thus not fully exploiting the unique characteristic of video, i.e., temporal. In this paper, we propose a Hierarchical Temporal-Aware video-language pre-training framework, HiTeA, with two novel pre-training tasks for modeling cross-modal alignment between moments and texts as well as the temporal relations of video-text pairs. Specifically, we propose a cross-modal moment exploration task to explore moments in videos, which results in detailed video moment representation. Besides, the inherent temporal relations are captured by aligning video-text pairs as a whole in different time resolutions with multi-modal temporal relation exploration task. Furthermore, we introduce the shuffling test to evaluate the temporal reliance of datasets and video-language pre-training models. We achieve state-of-the-art results on 15 well-established video-language understanding and generation tasks, especially on temporal-oriented datasets (e.g., SSv2-Template and SSv2-Label) with 8.6% and 11.1% improvement respectively. HiTeA also demonstrates strong generalization ability when directly transferred to downstream tasks in a zero-shot manner. Models and demo will be available on ModelScope.
