• Authors: Lingyu Zhu, Esa Rahtu, Hang Zhao
• Abstract summary: This paper focuses on perceiving and navigating 3D environments using echoes and RGB image. In particular, we perform depth estimation by fusing RGB image with echoes, received from multiple orientations. We show that the echoes provide holistic and in-expensive information about the 3D structures complementing the RGB image.

• Abstract: This paper focuses on perceiving and navigating 3D environments using echoes and RGB image. In particular, we perform depth estimation by fusing RGB image with echoes, received from multiple orientations. Unlike previous works, we go beyond the field of view of the RGB and estimate dense depth maps for substantially larger parts of the environment. We show that the echoes provide holistic and in-expensive information about the 3D structures complementing the RGB image. Moreover, we study how echoes and the wide field-of-view depth maps can be utilised in robot navigation. We compare the proposed methods against recent baselines using two sets of challenging realistic 3D environments: Replica and Matterport3D. The implementation and pre-trained models will be made publicly available.

  Grounding referring expressions in RGBD image has been an emerging field. We present a novel task of 3D visual grounding in single-view RGBD image where the referred objects are often only partially scanned due to occlusion. Our approach first fuses the language and the visual features at the bottom level to generate a heatmap that localizes the relevant regions in the RGBD image. Then our approach conducts an adaptive feature learning based on the heatmap and performs the object-level matching with another visio-linguistic fusion to finally ground the referred object.
