• Abstract: This paper explores visual motion-based invariants, resulting in a new instantaneous domain where: a) the stationary environment is perceived as unchanged, even as the 2D images undergo continuous changes due to camera motion, b) obstacles can be detected and potentially avoided in specific subspaces, and c) moving objects can potentially be detected. To achieve this, we make use of nonlinear functions derived from measurable optical flow, which are linked to geometric 3D invariants. We present simulations involving a camera that translates and rotates relative to a 3D object, capturing snapshots of the camera projected images. We show that the object appears unchanged in the new domain over time. We process real data from the KITTI dataset and demonstrate how to segment space to identify free navigational regions and detect obstacles within a predetermined subspace. Additionally, we present preliminary results, based on the KITTI dataset, on the identification and segmentation of moving objects, as well as the visualization of shape constancy. This representation is straightforward, relying on functions for the simple de-rotation of optical flow. This representation only requires a single camera, it is pixel-based, making it suitable for parallel processing, and it eliminates the necessity for 3D reconstruction techniques.

  This paper focuses on visual motion-based invariants that result in a representation of 3D points in which the stationary environment remains invariant. We refer to the resulting optical flow-based invariants as 'Time-Clearance' and the well-known 'Time-to-Contact' We present simulations of a camera moving relative to a 3D object, snapshots of its projected images captured by a rectilinearly moving camera, and the object as it appears unchanged in the new domain over time.

  We present an optical-flow-based transformation that yields a consistent 2D invariant image output regardless of time instants, range of points in 3D, and the speed of the camera. In the new domain, projections of 3D points that deviate from the values of the predefined lookup image can be clearly identified as moving relative to the stationary 3D environment.

  This paper focuses on leveraging geometry information, such as depth, to model such feature transformation. We first lift the 2D image features to the 3D space defined for the ego vehicle via a predicted parametric depth distribution for each pixel in each view. We then aggregate the 3D feature volume based on the 3D space occupancy derived from depth to the BEV frame.

  We propose a novel framework for fine-grained object recognition that learns to recover object variation in 3D space from a single image. We represent an object as a composition of 3D shape and its appearance, while eliminating the effect of camera viewpoint. By incorporating 3D shape and appearance jointly in a deep representation, our method learns the discriminative representation of the object.

• Reinforced Axial Refinement Network for Monocular 3D Object Detection [160.34246529816085]
  Monocular 3D object detection aims to extract the 3D position and properties of objects from a 2D input image. Conventional approaches sample 3D bounding boxes from the space and infer the relationship between the target object and each of them, however, the probability of effective samples is relatively small in the 3D space. We propose to start with an initial prediction and refine it gradually towards the ground truth, with only one 3d parameter changed in each step. This requires designing a policy which gets a reward after several steps, and thus we adopt reinforcement learning to optimize it.
