Venue: ECCV 2024 (main)

Abstract: "Contemporary Video Object Segmentation (VOS) approaches typically consist stages of feature extraction, matching, memory management, and multiple objects aggregation. Recent advanced models either employ a discrete modeling for these components in a sequential manner, or optimize a combined pipeline through substructure aggregation. However, these existing explicit staged approaches prevent the VOS framework from being optimized as a unified whole, leading to the limited capacity and suboptimal performance in tackling complex videos. In this paper, we propose OneVOS, a novel framework that unifies the core components of VOS with All-in-One Transformer. Specifically, to unify all aforementioned modules into a vision transformer, we model all the features of frames, masks and memory for multiple objects as transformer tokens, and integrally accomplish feature extraction, matching and memory management of multiple objects through the flexible attention mechanism. Furthermore, a Unidirectional Hybrid Attention is proposed through a double decoupling of the original attention operation, to rectify semantic errors and ambiguities of stored tokens in OneVOS framework. Finally, to alleviate the storage burden and expedite inference, we propose the Dynamic Token Selector, which unveils the working mechanism of OneVOS and naturally leads to a more efficient version of OneVOS. Extensive experiments demonstrate the superiority of OneVOS, achieving state-of-the-art performance across 7 datasets, particularly excelling in complex LVOS and MOSE datasets with 70.1% and 66.4% J&F scores, surpassing previous state-of-the-art methods by 4.2% and 7.0%, respectively.

Abstract: "Recently, the understanding of the 3D world has garnered increased attention, facilitating autonomous agents to perform further decision-making. However, the majority of existing 3D vision-language datasets and methods are often limited to specific tasks, limiting their applicability in diverse scenarios. The recent advance of Large Language Models (LLMs) and Multi-modal Language Models (MLMs) has shown mighty capability in solving various language and image tasks. Therefore, it is interesting to unlock MLM’s potential to be an omni 3D assistant for wider tasks. However, current MLMs’ research has been less focused on 3D due to the scarcity of large-scale visual-language datasets. In this work, we introduce M3DBench, a comprehensive multi-modal instruction dataset for complex 3D environments with over 320k instruction-response pairs that: 1) supports general interleaved multi-modal instructions with text, user clicks, images, and other visual prompts, 2) unifies diverse regionand scene-level 3D tasks, composing various fundamental abilities in real-world 3D environments. Furthermore, we establish a new benchmark for assessing the performance of large models in understanding interleaved multi-modal instructions. With extensive quantitative and qualitative experiments, we show the effectiveness of our dataset and baseline model in understanding complex human-environment interactions and accomplishing general 3D-centric tasks. We will release the data and code to accelerate future research on developing 3D MLMs."

Abstract: "Diverse and realistic floor plan data are essential for the development of useful computer-aided methods in architectural design. Today’s large-scale floor plan datasets predominantly feature simple floor plan layouts, typically representing single-apartment dwellings only. To compensate for the mismatch between current datasets and the real world, we develop Modified Swiss Dwellings (MSD) – the first large-scale floor plan dataset that contains a significant share of layouts of multi-apartment dwellings. MSD features over 5.3K floor plans of medium- to large-scale building complexes, covering over 18.9K distinct apartments. We validate that existing approaches for floor plan generation, while effective in simpler scenarios, cannot yet seamlessly address the challenges posed by MSD. Our benchmark calls for new research in floor plan machine understanding. Code and data are open."
End-to-End Rate-Distortion Optimized 3D Gaussian Representation
Authors: Henan Wang; Hanxin Zhu; Tianyu He; Runsen Feng; Jiajun Deng; Jiang Bian; Zhibo Chen
Venue: ECCV 2024 (main)

Abstract: "3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) has become an emerging technique with remarkable potential in 3D representation and image rendering. However, the substantial storage overhead of 3DGS significantly impedes its practical applications. In this work, we formulate the compact 3D Gaussian learning as an end-to-end Rate-Distortion Optimization (RDO) problem and propose RDO-Gaussian that can achieve flexible and continuous rate control. RDO-Gaussian addresses two main issues that exist in current schemes: 1) Different from prior endeavors that minimize the rate under the fixed distortion, we introduce dynamic pruning and entropy-constrained vector quantization (ECVQ) that optimize the rate and distortion at the same time. 2) Previous works treat the colors of each Gaussian equally, while we model the colors of different regions and materials with learnable numbers of parameters. We verify our method on both real and synthetic scenes, showcasing that RDO-Gaussian greatly reduces the size of 3D Gaussian over 40×, and surpasses existing methods in rate-distortion performance."
Temporal Residual Jacobians for Rig-free Motion Transfer

Venue: ECCV 2024 (main)

Abstract: "We introduce Temporal Residual Jacobians as a novel representation to enable data-driven motion transfer. Our approach does not assume access to any rigging or intermediate shape keyframes, produces geometrically and temporally consistent motions, and can be used to transfer long motion sequences. Central to our approach are two coupled neural networks that individually predict local geometric and temporal changes that are subsequently integrated, spatially and temporally, to produce the final animated meshes. The two networks are jointly trained, complement each other in producing spatial and temporal signals, and are supervised directly with 3D positional information. During inference, in the absence of keyframes, our method essentially solves a motion extrapolation problem. We test our setup on diverse meshes (synthetic and scanned shapes) to demonstrate its superiority in generating realistic and natural-looking animations on unseen body shapes against SoTA alternatives.

Venue: ECCV 2024 (main)

Abstract: "Semantic Bird’s Eye View (BEV) maps offer a rich representation with strong occlusion reasoning for various decision making tasks in autonomous driving. However, most BEV mapping approaches employ a fully supervised learning paradigm that relies on large amounts of human-annotated BEV ground truth data. In this work, we address this limitation by proposing the first unsupervised representation learning approach to generate semantic BEV maps from a monocular frontal view (FV) image in a label-efficient manner. Our approach pretrains the network to independently reason about scene geometry and scene semantics using two disjoint neural pathways in an unsupervised manner and then finetunes it for the task of semantic BEV mapping using only a small fraction of labels in the BEV. We achieve label-free pretraining by exploiting spatial and temporal consistency of FV images to learn scene geometry while relying on a novel temporal masked autoencoder formulation to encode the scene representation. Extensive evaluations on the KITTI-360 and nuScenes datasets demonstrate that our approach performs on par with the existing state-of-the-art approaches while using only 1% of BEV labels and no additional labeled data."
Deblurring 3D Gaussian Splatting

Abstract: "Recent studies in Radiance Fields have paved the robust way for novel view synthesis with their photorealistic rendering quality. Nevertheless, they usually employ neural networks and volumetric rendering, which are costly to train and impede their broad use in various real-time applications due to the lengthy rendering time. Lately 3D Gaussians splatting-based approach has been proposed to model the 3D scene, and it achieves remarkable visual quality while rendering the images in real-time. However, it suffers from severe degradation in the rendering quality if the training images are blurry. Blurriness commonly occurs due to the lens defocusing, object motion, and camera shake, and it inevitably intervenes in clean image acquisition. Several previous studies have attempted to render clean and sharp images from blurry input images using neural fields. The majority of those works, however, are designed only for volumetric rendering-based neural radiance fields and are not straightforwardly applicable to rasterization-based 3D Gaussian splatting methods. Thus, we propose a novel real-time deblurring framework, Deblurring 3D Gaussian Splatting, using a small Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) that manipulates the covariance of each 3D Gaussian to model the scene blurriness. While Deblurring 3D Gaussian Splatting can still enjoy real-time rendering, it can reconstruct fine and sharp details from blurry images. A variety of experiments have been conducted on the benchmark, and the results have revealed the effectiveness of our approach for deblurring.

Venue: ECCV 2024 (main)

Abstract: "The widespread use of high-definition screens in edge devices, such as end-user cameras, smartphones, and televisions, is spurring a significant demand for image enhancement. Existing enhancement models often optimize for high performance while falling short of reducing hardware inference time and power consumption, especially on edge devices with constrained computing and storage resources. To this end, we propose Image Color Enhancement LookUp Table (ICELUT) that adopts LUTs for extremely efficient edge inference, without any convolutional neural network (CNN). During training, we leverage pointwise (1×1) convolution to extract color information, alongside a split fully connected layer to incorporate global information. Both components are then seamlessly converted into LUTs for hardware-agnostic deployment. ICELUT achieves near-state-of-the-art performance and remarkably low power consumption. We observe that the pointwise network structure exhibits robust scalability, upkeeping the performance even with a heavily downsampled 32 × 32 input image. These enable ICELUT, the first-ever purely LUT-based image enhancer, to reach an unprecedented speed of 0.4ms on GPU and 7ms on CPU, at least one order faster than any CNN solution. Codes are available at https://github.com/Stephen0808/ICELUT."
DualDn: Dual-domain Denoising via Differentiable ISP
Authors: Ruikang Li; Yujin Wang; Shiqi Chen; Fan Zhang; Jinwei Gu; Tianfan Xue
Venue: ECCV 2024 (main)

Abstract: "Image denoising is a critical component in a camera’s Image Signal Processing (ISP) pipeline. There are two typical ways to inject a denoiser into the ISP pipeline: applying a denoiser directly to captured raw frames (raw domain) or to the ISP’s output sRGB images (sRGB domain). However, both approaches have their limitations. Residual noise from raw-domain denoising can be amplified by the subsequent ISP processing, and the sRGB domain struggles to handle spatially varying noise since it only sees noise distorted by the ISP. Consequently, most raw or sRGB domain denoising works only for specific noise distributions and ISP configurations. To address these challenges, we propose DualDn, a novel learning-based dual-domain denoising. Unlike previous single-domain denoising, DualDn consists of two denoising networks: one in the raw domain and one in the sRGB domain. The raw domain denoising adapts to sensor-specific noise as well as spatially varying noise levels, while the sRGB domain denoising adapts to ISP variations and removes residual noise amplified by the ISP. Both denoising networks are connected with a differentiable ISP, which is trained end-to-end and discarded during the inference stage. With this design, DualDn achieves greater generalizability compared to most learning-based denoising methods, as it can adapt to different unseen noises, ISP parameters, and even novel ISP pipelines. Experiments show that DualDn achieves state-of-the-art performance and can adapt to different denoising architectures. Moreover, DualDn can be used as a plug-and-play denoising module with real cameras without retraining, and still demonstrate better performance than commercial on-camera denoising.

A Task is Worth One Word: Learning with Task Prompts for High-Quality Versatile Image Inpainting
Authors: Junhao Zhuang; Yanhong Zeng; WENRAN LIU; Chun Yuan; Kai Chen
Venue: ECCV 2024 (main)

Abstract: "Advancing image inpainting is challenging as it requires filling user-specified regions for various intents, such as background filling and object synthesis. Existing approaches focus on either context-aware filling or object synthesis using text descriptions. However, achieving both tasks simultaneously is challenging due to differing training strategies. To overcome this challenge, we introduce , the first high-quality and versatile inpainting model that excels in multiple inpainting tasks. First, we introduce learnable task prompts along with tailored fine-tuning strategies to guide the model’s focus on different inpainting targets explicitly. This enables to accomplish various inpainting tasks by utilizing different task prompts, resulting in state-of-the-art performance. Second, we demonstrate the versatility of the task prompt in by showcasing its effectiveness as a negative prompt for object removal. Moreover, we leverage prompt interpolation techniques to enable controllable shape-guided object inpainting, enhancing the model’s applicability in shape-guided applications. Finally, we conduct extensive experiments and applications to verify the effectiveness of . We release our codes and models on our project page: https://powerpaint.github.io/."
Self-supervised Shape Completion via Involution and Implicit Correspondences
Authors: Mengya Liu; Ajad Chhatkuli; Janis Postels; Luc Van Gool; Federico Tombari
Venue: ECCV 2024 (main)

Abstract: "3D shape completion is traditionally solved using supervised training or by distribution learning on complete shape examples. Recently self-supervised learning approaches that do not require any complete 3D shape examples have gained more interests. In this paper, we propose a non-adversarial self-supervised approach for the shape completion task. Our first finding is that completion problems can be formulated as an involutory function trivially, which implies a special constraint on the completion function G, such that G ◦ G(X) = X. Our second constraint on self-supervised shape completion relies on the fact that shape completion becomes easier to solve with correspondences and similarly, completion can simplify the correspondences problem. We formulate a consistency measure in the canonical space in order to supervise the completion function. We efficiently optimize the completion and correspondence modules using “freeze and alternate” strategy. The overall approach performs well for rigid shapes in a category as well as dynamic non-rigid shapes. We ablate our design choices and compare our solution against state-of-the-art methods, showing remarkable accuracy approaching supervised accuracy in some cases."
From Fake to Real: Pretraining on Balanced Synthetic Images to Prevent Spurious Correlations in Image Recognition
Authors: Maan Qraitem; Kate Saenko; Bryan A. Plummer
Venue: ECCV 2024 (main)

Abstract: "Visual recognition models are prone to learning spurious correlations induced by a biased training set where certain conditions B (, Indoors) are over-represented in certain classes Y (, Big Dogs). Synthetic data from off-the-shelf large-scale generative models offers a promising direction to mitigate this issue by augmenting underrepresented subgroups in the real dataset. However, by using a mixed distribution of real and synthetic data, we introduce another source of bias due to distributional differences between synthetic and real data (synthetic artifacts). As we will show, prior work’s approach for using synthetic data to resolve the model’s bias toward B do not correct the model’s bias toward the pair (B, G), where G denotes whether the sample is real or synthetic. Thus, the model could simply learn signals based on the pair (B, G) (, Synthetic Indoors) to make predictions about Y (, Big Dogs). To address this issue, we propose a simple, easy-to-implement, two-step training pipeline that we call From Fake to Real (FFR). The first step of FFR pre-trains a model on balanced synthetic data to learn robust representations across subgroups. In the second step, FFR fine-tunes the model on real data using ERM or common loss-based bias mitigation methods. By training on real and synthetic data separately, FFR does not expose the model to the statistical differences between real and synthetic data and thus avoids the issue of bias toward the pair (B, G). Our experiments show that FFR improves worst group accuracy over the state-of-the-art by up to 20% over three datasets. Code available: https://github.com/ mqraitem/From-Fake-to-Real"

Venue: ECCV 2024 (main)

Abstract: "This paper studies the challenging cross-domain few-shot object detection (CD-FSOD), aiming to develop an accurate object detector for novel domains with minimal labeled examples. While transformer-based open-set detectors, such as DE-ViT, show promise in traditional few-shot object detection, their generalization to CD-FSOD remains unclear: 1) can such open-set detection methods easily generalize to CD-FSOD? 2) If not, how can models be enhanced when facing huge domain gaps? To answer the first question, we employ measures including style, inter-class variance (ICV), and indefinable boundaries (IB) to understand the domain gap. Based on these measures, we establish a new benchmark named CD-FSOD to evaluate object detection methods, revealing that most of the current approaches fail to generalize across domains. Technically, we observe that the performance decline is associated with our proposed measures: style, ICV, and IB. Consequently, we propose several novel modules to address these issues. First, the learnable instance features align initial fixed instances with target categories, enhancing feature distinctiveness. Second, the instance reweighting module assigns higher importance to high-quality instances with slight IB. Third, the domain prompter encourages features resilient to different styles by synthesizing imaginary domains without altering semantic contents. These techniques collectively contribute to the development of the Cross-Domain Vision Transformer for CD-FSOD (CD-ViTO), significantly improving upon the base DE-ViT. Experimental results validate the efficacy of our model. Datasets and codes are available at http://yuqianfu.com/CDFSOD-benchmark."
NICP: Neural ICP for 3D Human Registration at Scale
Authors: Riccardo Marin; Enric Corona; Gerard Pons-Moll
Venue: ECCV 2024 (main)

Abstract: "Aligning a template to 3D human point clouds is a long-standing problem crucial for tasks like animation, reconstruction, and enabling supervised learning pipelines. Recent data-driven methods leverage predicted surface correspondences. However, they are not robust to varied poses, identities, or noise. In contrast, industrial solutions often rely on expensive manual annotations or multi-view capturing systems. Recently, neural fields have shown promising results. Still, their purely data-driven and extrinsic nature does not incorporate any guidance toward the target surface, often resulting in a trivial misalignment of the template registration. Currently, no method can be considered the standard for 3D Human registration, limiting the scalability of downstream applications. In this work, we propose a neural scalable registration method, , a pipeline that, for the first time, generalizes and scales across thousands of shapes and more than ten different data sources. Our essential contribution is , an ICP-style self-supervised task tailored to neural fields. takes a few seconds, is self-supervised, and works out of the box on pre-trained neural fields. combines with a localized neural field trained on a large MoCap dataset, achieving the state of the art over public benchmarks. The release of our code and checkpoints provides a powerful tool useful for many downstream tasks like dataset alignments, cleaning, or asset animation."
