• Title: Topologically Persistent Features-based Object Recognition in Cluttered Indoor Environments
• Authors: Ekta U. Samani and Ashis G. Banerjee
• Abstract summary: Recognition of occluded objects in unseen indoor environments is a challenging problem for mobile robots. This work proposes a new slicing-based topological descriptor that captures the 3D shape of object point clouds. It yields similarities between the descriptors of the occluded and the corresponding unoccluded objects, enabling object unity-based recognition.

• Abstract: Recognition of occluded objects in unseen indoor environments is a challenging problem for mobile robots. This work proposes a new slicing-based topological descriptor that captures the 3D shape of object point clouds to address this challenge. It yields similarities between the descriptors of the occluded and the corresponding unoccluded objects, enabling object unity-based recognition using a library of trained models. The descriptor is obtained by partitioning an object's point cloud into multiple 2D slices and constructing filtrations (nested sequences of simplicial complexes) on the slices to mimic further slicing of the slices, thereby capturing detailed shapes through persistent homology-generated features. We use nine different sequences of cluttered scenes from a benchmark dataset for performance evaluation. Our method outperforms two state-of-the-art deep learning-based point cloud classification methods, namely, DGCNN and SimpleView.

  This paper proposes a video object-centric model for multiple-object tracking pipelines. It consists of an index-merge module that adapts the object-centric slots into detection outputs and an object memory module. Benefited from object-centric learning, we only require sparse detection labels for object localization and feature binding.

  We study the problem of object discovery -- separating objects from the background without manual labels. Existing approaches utilize appearance cues, such as color, texture, and location, to group pixels into object-like regions. We choose to focus on dynamic objects -- entities that can move independently in the world.
