• Abstract summary: Modern learning-based methods offer promising depth maps by inference in the wild. We adapt such depth inference models for object segmentation using the objects' "pop-out" prior in 3D. Our experiments on eight datasets consistently demonstrate the benefit of our method in terms of both performance and generalizability.

• Abstract: Depth cues are known to be useful for visual perception. However, direct measurement of depth is often impracticable. Fortunately, though, modern learning-based methods offer promising depth maps by inference in the wild. In this work, we adapt such depth inference models for object segmentation using the objects' "pop-out" prior in 3D. The "pop-out" is a simple composition prior that assumes objects reside on the background surface. Such compositional prior allows us to reason about objects in the 3D space. More specifically, we adapt the inferred depth maps such that objects can be localized using only 3D information. Such separation, however, requires knowledge about contact surface which we learn using the weak supervision of the segmentation mask. Our intermediate representation of contact surface, and thereby reasoning about objects purely in 3D, allows us to better transfer the depth knowledge into semantics. The proposed adaptation method uses only the depth model without needing the source data used for training, making the learning process efficient and practical. Our experiments on eight datasets of two challenging tasks, namely camouflaged object detection and salient object detection, consistently demonstrate the benefit of our method in terms of both performance and generalizability.

  We propose a new multi-view 3D object detector named OPEN. Our main idea is to effectively inject object-wise depth information into the network through our proposed object-wise position embedding. OPEN achieves a new state-of-the-art performance with 64.4% NDS and 56.7% mAP on the nuScenes test benchmark.

  We propose a new self-supervised method for pre-training the backbone of deep perception models operating on point clouds. The core idea is to train the model on a pretext task which is the reconstruction of the surface on which the 3D points are sampled. The intuition is that if the network is able to reconstruct the scene surface, given only sparse input points, then it probably also captures some fragments of semantic information.

  We propose a new method to address dynamic object movements through monocular 3D object detection. Specifically, we first detect 3D objects in the images and build the per-pixel correspondence of the dynamic pixels with the detected object pose. In this way, the depth of every pixel can be learned via a meaningful geometry model.

  Monocular 3D detection has drawn much attention from the community due to its low cost and setup simplicity. The most challenging sub-task lies in the instance depth estimation. We propose to reformulate the instance depth to the combination of the instance visual surface depth and the instance attribute depth.

  Human can infer the 3D geometry of a scene from a sketch instead of a realistic image, which indicates that the spatial structure plays a fundamental role in understanding the depth of scenes. We are the first to explore the learning of a depth-specific structural representation, which captures the essential feature for depth estimation and ignores irrelevant style information. Our S2R-DepthNet can be well generalized to unseen real-world data directly even though it is only trained on synthetic data.
