• Abstract: This paper studies category-level object pose estimation based on a single monocular image. Recent advances in pose-aware generative models have paved the way for addressing this challenging task using analysis-by-synthesis. The idea is to sequentially update a set of latent variables, e.g., pose, shape, and appearance, of the generative model until the generated image best agrees with the observation. However, convergence and efficiency are two challenges of this inference procedure. In this paper, we take a deeper look at the inference of analysis-by-synthesis from the perspective of visual navigation, and investigate what is a good navigation policy for this specific task. We evaluate three different strategies, including gradient descent, reinforcement learning and imitation learning, via thorough comparisons in terms of convergence, robustness and efficiency. Moreover, we show that a simple hybrid approach leads to an effective and efficient solution. We further compare these strategies to state-of-the-art methods, and demonstrate superior performance on synthetic and real-world datasets leveraging off-the-shelf pose-aware generative models.

  Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning has been extensively explored in large models to tackle complex understanding tasks. We provide the first comprehensive investigation of the potential of CoT reasoning to enhance autoregressive image generation. We propose the Potential Assessment Reward Model (PARM) and PARM++, specialized for autoregressive image generation.

  We propose a novel knowledge distillation technique to overcome the problem of reduced efficiency. We show how to use two large vision foundation models and distill the capabilities of these complementary models into one smaller model that maintains high accuracy at reduced computational cost. Our empirical results demonstrate that our distilled model with 3D data augmentation achieves performance superior to current state-of-the-art methods while significantly reducing computational load and enhancing practicality for real-world applications, such as semantic video correspondence.

  Self-supervised pre-training methods have not yet delivered on dense geometric vision tasks such as stereo matching or optical flow. We build on the recent cross-view completion framework, a variation of masked image modeling that leverages a second view from the same scene. We show for the first time that state-of-the-art results on stereo matching and optical flow can be reached without using any classical task-specific techniques.
