• Abstract summary: We propose a vision-transformer-based model for omnidirectional videos named SalViT360. We introduce a spherical geometry-aware self-attention mechanism that is capable of effective omnidirectional video understanding. Our approach is the first to employ tangent images for omnidirectional saliency prediction prediction, and our experimental results on three ODV saliency datasets demonstrate its effectiveness compared to the state-of-the-art.

• Abstract: The growing interest in omnidirectional videos (ODVs) that capture the full field-of-view (FOV) has gained 360-degree saliency prediction importance in computer vision. However, predicting where humans look in 360-degree scenes presents unique challenges, including spherical distortion, high resolution, and limited labelled data. We propose a novel vision-transformer-based model for omnidirectional videos named SalViT360 that leverages tangent image representations. We introduce a spherical geometry-aware spatiotemporal self-attention mechanism that is capable of effective omnidirectional video understanding. Furthermore, we present a consistency-based unsupervised regularization term for projection-based 360-degree dense-prediction models to reduce artefacts in the predictions that occur after inverse projection. Our approach is the first to employ tangent images for omnidirectional saliency prediction, and our experimental results on three ODV saliency datasets demonstrate its effectiveness compared to the state-of-the-art.

  We learn an entangled representation, aiming to model layered scene geometry, motion forecasting and novel view synthesis together. Our approach chooses to disentangle scene geometry from scene motion, via lifting the 2D scene to 3D point clouds. To model future 3D scene motion, we propose a disentangled two-stage approach that initially forecasts ego-motion and subsequently the residual motion of dynamic objects.

At inference, HawkI employs a unique mutual information guidance formulation to steer the generated image towards faithfully replicating the semantic details of the input-image.

  We introduce Deceptive-NeRF/3DGS to enhance sparse-view reconstruction with only a limited set of input images. Specifically, we propose a deceptive diffusion model turning noisy images rendered from few-view reconstructions into high-quality pseudo-observations. Our system progressively incorporates diffusion-generated pseudo-observations into the training image sets, ultimately densifying the sparse input observations by 5 to 10 times.
