• Abstract: Multiview camera setups have proven useful in many computer vision applications for reducing ambiguities, mitigating occlusions, and increasing field-of-view coverage. However, the high computational cost associated with multiple views poses a significant challenge for end devices with limited computational resources. To address this issue, we propose a view selection approach that analyzes the target object or scenario from given views and selects the next best view for processing. Our approach features a reinforcement learning based camera selection module, MVSelect, that not only selects views but also facilitates joint training with the task network. Experimental results on multiview classification and detection tasks show that our approach achieves promising performance while using only 2 or 3 out of N available views, significantly reducing computational costs. Furthermore, analysis on the selected views reveals that certain cameras can be shut off with minimal performance impact, shedding light on future camera layout optimization for multiview systems.

  Video instance segmentation (VIS) is a challenging vision task that aims to detect, segment, and track objects in videos. We reduce the human annotations to only one point for each object in a video frame during training, and obtain high-quality mask predictions close to fully supervised models. Comprehensive experiments on three VIS benchmarks demonstrate competitive performance of the proposed framework, nearly matching fully supervised methods.

  Key objective in multi-view learning is to model the information common to multiple parallel views of a class of objects/events to improve downstream learning tasks. We present a neural method based on multi-view correlation to capture the information shared across a large number of views by subsampling them in a view-agnostic manner during training. Experiments on spoken word recognition, 3D object classification and pose-invariant face recognition demonstrate the robustness of view bootstrapping to model a large number of views.
