• Abstract summary: We propose a new cross-modal BERT-style self-supervised learning paradigm, called Cross-BERT. To facilitate pretraining for irregular and sparse point clouds, we design two self-supervised tasks to boost cross-modal interaction. Our work highlights the effectiveness of leveraging cross-modal 2D knowledge to strengthen 3D point cloud representation and the transferable capability of BERT across modalities.

• Abstract: Introducing BERT into cross-modal settings raises difficulties in its optimization for handling multiple modalities. Both the BERT architecture and training objective need to be adapted to incorporate and model information from different modalities. In this paper, we address these challenges by exploring the implicit semantic and geometric correlations between 2D and 3D data of the same objects/scenes. We propose a new cross-modal BERT-style self-supervised learning paradigm, called Cross-BERT. To facilitate pretraining for irregular and sparse point clouds, we design two self-supervised tasks to boost cross-modal interaction. The first task, referred to as Point-Image Alignment, aims to align features between unimodal and cross-modal representations to capture the correspondences between the 2D and 3D modalities. The second task, termed Masked Cross-modal Modeling, further improves mask modeling of BERT by incorporating high-dimensional semantic information obtained by cross-modal interaction. By performing cross-modal interaction, Cross-BERT can smoothly reconstruct the masked tokens during pretraining, leading to notable performance enhancements for downstream tasks. Through empirical evaluation, we demonstrate that Cross-BERT outperforms existing state-of-the-art methods in 3D downstream applications. Our work highlights the effectiveness of leveraging cross-modal 2D knowledge to strengthen 3D point cloud representation and the transferable capability of BERT across modalities.

  We explore the great potential of a pre-trained vision Transformer (ViT) to bridge the vast distribution gap between two modalities. We propose a mask modeling strategy that randomly masks a specific modality of some tokens to enforce the interaction between tokens from different modalities interacting proactively. Experiments demonstrate that our plug-and-play training augmentation techniques can significantly boost state-of-the-art one-stream and two trackersstream to a large extent in terms of both tracking precision and success rate.

  This paper presents a novel approach that views each tracklet as a continuous stream. At each timestamp, only the current frame is fed into the network to interact with multi-frame historical features stored in a memory bank. To enhance the utilization of multi-frame features for robust tracking, a contrastive sequence enhancement strategy is proposed.
