• Abstract: 3D inference from monocular vision using neural networks is an important research area of computer vision. Applications of the research area are various with many proposed solutions and have shown remarkable performance. Although many efforts have been invested, there are still unanswered questions, some of which are fundamental. In this paper, I discuss a problem that I hope will come to be known as a generalization of the Blind Perspective-n-Point (Blind PnP) problem for object-driven 3D inference based on 2D representations. The vital difference between the fundamental problem and the Blind PnP problem is that 3D inference parameters in the fundamental problem are attached directly to 3D points and the camera concept will be represented through the sharing of the parameters of these points. By providing an explainable and robust gradient-decent solution based on 2D representations for an important special case of the problem, the paper opens up a new approach for using available information-based learning methods to solve problems related to 3D object pose estimation from 2D images.

• On the Efficacy of 3D Point Cloud Reinforcement Learning [20.4424883945357]
  We focus on 3D point clouds, one of the most common forms of 3D representations. We systematically investigate design choices for 3D point cloud RL, leading to the development of a robust algorithm for various robotic manipulation and control tasks. We find that 3D point cloud RL can significantly outperform the 2D counterpart when agent-object / object-object relationship encoding is a key factor.

  This paper introduces a ray-based volumetric uncertainty estimator, which computes the entropy of the weight distribution of the color samples along each ray of the object's implicit neural representation. We show that it is possible to infer the uncertainty of the underlying 3D geometry given a novel view with the proposed estimator. We present a next-best-view selection policy guided by the ray-based volumetric uncertainty in neural radiance fields-based representations.

  State-of-the-art methods for large-scale driving-scene LiDAR semantic segmentation often project and process the point clouds in the 2D space. A straightforward solution to tackle the issue of 3D-to-2D projection is to keep the 3D representation and process the points in the 3D space. We develop a 3D cylinder partition and a 3D cylinder convolution based framework, termed as Cylinder3D, which exploits the 3D topology relations and structures of driving-scene point clouds.
