• Abstract: Loop closure detection is an essential and challenging problem in simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM). It is often tackled with light detection and ranging (LiDAR) sensor due to its view-point and illumination invariant properties. Existing works on 3D loop closure detection often leverage the matching of local or global geometrical-only descriptors, but without considering the intensity reading. In this paper we explore the intensity property from LiDAR scan and show that it can be effective for place recognition. Concretely, we propose a novel global descriptor, intensity scan context (ISC), that explores both geometry and intensity characteristics. To improve the efficiency for loop closure detection, an efficient two-stage hierarchical re-identification process is proposed, including a binary-operation based fast geometric relation retrieval and an intensity structure re-identification. Thorough experiments including both local experiment and public datasets test have been conducted to evaluate the performance of the proposed method. Our method achieves higher recall rate and recall precision than existing geometric-only methods.

  We propose a simple yet effective deepfake detector called LSDA.

We show that our proposed method is surprisingly effective and transcends state-of-the-art detectors across several widely used benchmarks.

  We resort to a novel kernel strategy to identify the most informative point clouds to acquire labels. To accommodate both one-stage (i.e., SECOND) and two-stage detectors, we incorporate the classification entropy tangent and well trade-off between detection performance and the total number of bounding boxes selected for annotation. Our results show that approximately 44% box-level annotation costs and 26% computational time are reduced compared to the state-of-the-art method.

  Current CNN-based detectors tend to overfit to method-specific color textures and thus fail to generalize. We propose to utilize the high-frequency noises for face forgery detection. The first is the multi-scale high-frequency feature extraction module that extracts high-frequency noises at multiple scales. The second is the residual-guided spatial attention module that guides the low-level RGB feature extractor to concentrate more on forgery traces from a new perspective.
