• Title: Vision-Aided Beam Tracking: Explore the Proper Use of Camera Images with Deep Learning
• Authors: Yu Tian, Chenwei Wang
• Abstract summary: We investigate the problem of wireless beam tracking on mmWave bands with the assistance of camera images. In particular, based on the user's beam indices used and camera images taken in the trajectory, we predict the optimal beam indices in the next few time spots. We develop a deep learning approach and investigate various model components to achieve the best performance.

• Abstract: We investigate the problem of wireless beam tracking on mmWave bands with the assistance of camera images. In particular, based on the user's beam indices used and camera images taken in the trajectory, we predict the optimal beam indices in the next few time spots. To resolve this problem, we first reformulate the "ViWi" dataset in [1] to get rid of the image repetition problem. Then we develop a deep learning approach and investigate various model components to achieve the best performance. Finally, we explore whether, when, and how to use the image for better beam prediction. To answer this question, we split the dataset into three clusters -- (LOS, light NLOS, serious NLOS)-like -- based on the standard deviation of the beam sequence. With experiments we demonstrate that using the image indeed helps beam tracking especially when the user is in serious NLOS, and the solution relies on carefully-designed dataset for training a model. Generally speaking, including NLOS-like data for training a model does not benefit beam tracking of the user in LOS, but including light NLOS-like data for training a model benefits beam tracking of the user in serious NLOS.

  Lidar captures 3D scene geometry by emitting pulses of light to a target and recording the speed-of-light time delay of the reflected light. conventional lidar systems do not output the raw, captured waveforms of backscattered light. We develop new regularization strategies that improve robustness to photon noise, enabling accurate surface reconstruction with as few as 10 photons per pixel.

  State-of-the-art 3D object detectors are often trained on massive labeled datasets.

We propose a shelf-supervised approach for generating zero-shot 3D bounding boxes from paired RGB and LiDAR data.

  We propose an approach to address the problem of 3D reconstruction of scenes from a single image captured by a light-field camera equipped with a rolling shutter sensor. Our method leverages the 3D information cues present in the light-field and the motion information provided by the rolling shutter effect. We present a generic model for the imaging process of this sensor and a two-stage algorithm that minimizes the re-projection error.

  We show how to use a combination of three techniques to allow the existing photometric losses to work for both day and nighttime images. First, we introduce a per-pixel neural intensity transformation to compensate for the light changes that occur between successive frames. Second, we predict a per-pixel residual flow map that we use to correct the reprojection correspondences induced by the estimated ego-motion and depth.

Our dataset also includes the ground truth human motions acquired by the IMU system and the synchronous RGB images.
