• Title: Factored Neural Representation for Scene Understanding
• Authors: Yu-Shiang Wong, Niloy J. Mitra
• Abstract summary: We introduce a factored neural scene representation that can directly be learned from a monocular RGB-D video to produce object-level neural presentations. We evaluate ours against a set of neural approaches on both synthetic and real data to demonstrate that the representation is efficient, interpretable, and editable.

• Abstract: A long-standing goal in scene understanding is to obtain interpretable and editable representations that can be directly constructed from a raw monocular RGB-D video, without requiring specialized hardware setup or priors. The problem is significantly more challenging in the presence of multiple moving and/or deforming objects. Traditional methods have approached the setup with a mix of simplifications, scene priors, pretrained templates, or known deformation models. The advent of neural representations, especially neural implicit representations and radiance fields, opens the possibility of end-to-end optimization to collectively capture geometry, appearance, and object motion. However, current approaches produce global scene encoding, assume multiview capture with limited or no motion in the scenes, and do not facilitate easy manipulation beyond novel view synthesis. In this work, we introduce a factored neural scene representation that can directly be learned from a monocular RGB-D video to produce object-level neural presentations with an explicit encoding of object movement (e.g., rigid trajectory) and/or deformations (e.g., nonrigid movement). We evaluate ours against a set of neural approaches on both synthetic and real data to demonstrate that the representation is efficient, interpretable, and editable (e.g., change object trajectory).

  We propose tokenizing the visual world into a compact set of scene elements. We then leverage pre-trained image foundation models and LiDAR neural networks to encode all the scene elements in an open-vocabulary manner. Our proposed representation can efficiently encode the multi-frame multi-modality observations with a few hundred tokens.
