• Abstract: The task of visual grounding requires locating the most relevant region or object in an image, given a natural language query. So far, progress on this task was mostly measured on curated datasets, which are not always representative of human spoken language. In this work, we deviate from recent, popular task settings and consider the problem under an autonomous vehicle scenario. In particular, we consider a situation where passengers can give free-form natural language commands to a vehicle which can be associated with an object in the street scene. To stimulate research on this topic, we have organized the \emph{Commands for Autonomous Vehicles} (C4AV) challenge based on the recent \emph{Talk2Car} dataset (URL: https://www.aicrowd.com/challenges/eccv-2020-commands-4-autonomous-vehicles). This paper presents the results of the challenge. First, we compare the used benchmark against existing datasets for visual grounding. Second, we identify the aspects that render top-performing models successful, and relate them to existing state-of-the-art models for visual grounding, in addition to detecting potential failure cases by evaluating on carefully selected subsets. Finally, we discuss several possibilities for future work.

  Photogrammetric simulators allow the synthesis of novel views through the transformation of pre-generated assets into novel views. We use a Neural Radiance Field (NeRF) as an intermediate representation to synthesize novel views from the point of view of a ground vehicle.

  We tackle two vital tasks in automated driving systems, i.e., driver intent prediction and risk object identification from egocentric images. We contend that a scene-level representation must capture higher-level semantic and geometric representations of traffic scenes around ego-vehicle. We propose to learn scene-level representations via a novel semantic region prediction task and an automatic semantic region labeling algorithm.

  We tackle multi-horizon forecasting of vehicle states by fusing the two modalities. We design and experiment with 3D convolutions for visual features extraction and 1D convolutions for features extraction from speed and steering angle traces. We show that we are able to forecast a vehicle's state to various horizons, while outperforming the current state-of-the-art results on the related task of driving state estimation.

  In this paper, we apply one new modality, i.e., the language description, to search the vehicle of interest. To connect language and vision, we propose to jointly train the state-of-the-art vision models with the transformer-based language model. Our proposed method has achieved the 1st place on the 5th AI City Challenge, yielding competitive performance 18.69% MRR accuracy.
