• Abstract: We tackle the task of scalable unsupervised object-centric representation learning on 3D scenes. Existing approaches to object-centric representation learning show limitations in generalizing to larger scenes as their learning processes rely on a fixed global coordinate system. In contrast, we propose to learn view-invariant 3D object representations in localized object coordinate systems. To this end, we estimate the object pose and appearance representation separately and explicitly map object representations across views while maintaining object identities. We adopt an amortized variational inference pipeline that can process sequential input and scalably update object latent distributions online. To handle large-scale scenes with a varying number of objects, we further introduce a Cognitive Map that allows the registration and query of objects on a per-scene global map to achieve scalable representation learning. We explore the object-centric neural radiance field (NeRF) as our 3D scene representation, which is jointly modeled within our unsupervised object-centric learning framework. Experimental results on synthetic and real datasets show that our proposed method can infer and maintain object-centric representations of 3D scenes and outperforms previous models.

  We introduce Object Scene Representation Transformer (OSRT), a 3D-centric model in which individual object representations naturally emerge through novel view synthesis. OSRT scales to significantly more complex scenes with larger diversity of objects and backgrounds than existing methods. It is multiple orders of magnitude faster at compositional rendering thanks to its light field parametrization and the novel Slot Mixer decoder.
