• Authors: Qi Zhang and Antoni B. Chan
• Abstract summary: Multi-camera surveillance has been an active research topic for understanding and modeling scenes. It is usually assumed that the cameras are all temporally synchronized when designing models for these multi-camera based tasks. Our view synchronization models are applied to different DNNs-based multi-camera vision tasks under the unsynchronized setting.

• Abstract: Multi-camera surveillance has been an active research topic for understanding and modeling scenes. Compared to a single camera, multi-cameras provide larger field-of-view and more object cues, and the related applications are multi-view counting, multi-view tracking, 3D pose estimation or 3D reconstruction, etc. It is usually assumed that the cameras are all temporally synchronized when designing models for these multi-camera based tasks. However, this assumption is not always valid,especially for multi-camera systems with network transmission delay and low frame-rates due to limited network bandwidth, resulting in desynchronization of the captured frames across cameras. To handle the issue of unsynchronized multi-cameras, in this paper, we propose a synchronization model that works in conjunction with existing DNN-based multi-view models, thus avoiding the redesign of the whole model. Under the low-fps regime, we assume that only a single relevant frame is available from each view, and synchronization is achieved by matching together image contents guided by epipolar geometry. We consider two variants of the model, based on where in the pipeline the synchronization occurs, scene-level synchronization and camera-level synchronization. The view synchronization step and the task-specific view fusion and prediction step are unified in the same framework and trained in an end-to-end fashion. Our view synchronization models are applied to different DNNs-based multi-camera vision tasks under the unsynchronized setting, including multi-view counting and 3D pose estimation, and achieve good performance compared to baselines.

  Our contributions include a novel audio-visual synchronization model, and training that decouples extraction from synchronization modelling. This approach achieves state-of-the-art performance in both dense and sparse settings. We also extend synchronization model training to AudioSet a million-scale 'in-the-wild' dataset, investigate evidence attribution techniques for interpretability, and explore a new capability for synchronization models: audio-visual synchronizability.

  The objective of this paper is audio-visual synchronisation of general videos 'in the wild' We make four contributions: (i) in order to handle longer temporal sequences required for sparse synchronisation signals, we design a multi-modal transformer model that employs'selectors' We identify artefacts that can arise from the compression codecs used for audio and video and can be used by audio-visual models in training to artificially solve the synchronisation task.
