• Abstract: Initial orbit determination (IOD) is an important early step in the processing chain that makes sense of and reconciles the multiple optical observations of a resident space object. IOD methods generally operate on line-of-sight (LOS) vectors extracted from images of the object, hence the LOS vectors can be seen as discrete point samples of the raw optical measurements. Typically, the number of LOS vectors used by an IOD method is much smaller than the available measurements (\ie, the set of pixel intensity values), hence current IOD methods arguably under-utilize the rich information present in the data. In this paper, we propose a \emph{direct} IOD method called D-IOD that fits the orbital parameters directly on the observed streak images, without requiring LOS extraction. Since it does not utilize LOS vectors, D-IOD avoids potential inaccuracies or errors due to an imperfect LOS extraction step. Two innovations underpin our novel orbit-fitting paradigm: first, we introduce a novel non-linear least-squares objective function that computes the loss between the candidate-orbit-generated streak images and the observed streak images. Second, the objective function is minimized with a gradient descent approach that is embedded in our proposed optimization strategies designed for streak images. We demonstrate the effectiveness of D-IOD on a variety of simulated scenarios and challenging real streak images.

  We introduce Deep Identity Learning (DIL), a novel learning strategy that includes a dedicated regularization term based on the properties of linear systems. Since it is purely image-data-independent, we term our model as Null-Shot deblurring Using Deep Identity Learning (NSD-DIL) Our experiments show that the proposed method outperforms both traditional and deep learning based deblurring methods.

  This paper introduces a novel approach that uses a 10-dimensional feature vector to represent the orientation and applies a Quadratically-Constrained Quadratic Program to derive the predicted orientation as a unit quaternion, supplemented by an uncertainty metric. Our numerical analysis demonstrates that our methodology effectively recovers orientations from 2D cryo-EM images in an end-to-end manner. Importantly, the inclusion of uncertainty allows for direct clean-up of the dataset at the 3D level.

  This paper presents a principled approach for solving the visual anomaly detection and segmentation problem. We propose the application of linear statistical dimensionality reduction techniques on the intermediate features produced by a pretrained DNN on the training data. We show that the emphfeature reconstruction error (FRE), which is the $ell$-norm of the difference between the original feature in the high-dimensional space and the pre-image of its low-dimensional reduced embedding, is extremely effective for anomaly detection.

• Detecting Rotated Objects as Gaussian Distributions and Its 3-D Generalization [81.29406957201458]
  Existing detection methods commonly use a parameterized bounding box (BBox) to model and detect (horizontal) objects. We argue that such a mechanism has fundamental limitations in building an effective regression loss for rotation detection. We propose to model the rotated objects as Gaussian distributions. We extend our approach from 2-D to 3-D with a tailored algorithm design to handle the heading estimation.

  In this paper, we argue that one effective alternative is to devise an approximate loss who can achieve trend-level alignment with SkewIoU loss. Specifically, we model the objects as Gaussian distribution and adopt Kalman filter to inherently mimic the mechanism of SkewIoU. The resulting new loss called KFIoU is easier to implement and works better compared with exact SkewIoU.
