• Abstract: As human-machine interaction continues to evolve, the capacity for environmental perception is becoming increasingly crucial. Integrating the two most common types of sensory data, images, and point clouds, can enhance detection accuracy. However, currently, no model exists that can simultaneously detect an object's position in both point clouds and images and ascertain their corresponding relationship. This information is invaluable for human-machine interactions, offering new possibilities for their enhancement. In light of this, this paper introduces an end-to-end Consistency Object Detection (COD) algorithm framework that requires only a single forward inference to simultaneously obtain an object's position in both point clouds and images and establish their correlation. Furthermore, to assess the accuracy of the object correlation between point clouds and images, this paper proposes a new evaluation metric, Consistency Precision (CP). To verify the effectiveness of the proposed framework, an extensive set of experiments has been conducted on the KITTI and DAIR-V2X datasets. The study also explored how the proposed consistency detection method performs on images when the calibration parameters between images and point clouds are disturbed, compared to existing post-processing methods. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method exhibits excellent detection performance and robustness, achieving end-to-end consistency detection.

  Video object detection (VOD) needs to concern the high across-frame variation in object appearance, and the diverse deterioration in some frames. Most of contemporary aggregation methods are tailored for two-stage detectors, suffering from high computational costs. This study invents a very simple yet potent strategy of feature selection and aggregation, gaining significant accuracy at marginal computational expense.

  RGB detectors still outperform event-based detectors due to sparsity of the event data and missing visual details. We develop a novel knowledge distillation approach to shrink the performance gap between these two modalities. We show that object-centric distillation allows to significantly improve the performance of the event-based student object detector.

  Image-to-point cloud registration aims to determine the relative camera pose between an RGB image and a reference point cloud. Matching individual points with pixels can be inherently ambiguous due to modality gaps. We propose a framework to capture quantity-aware correspondences between local point sets and pixel patches.

  Humans perform co-saliency detection by first summarizing the consensus knowledge in the whole group and then searching corresponding objects in each image. Previous methods usually lack robustness, scalability, or stability for the first process and simply fuse consensus features with image features for the second process. We propose a novel consensus-aware dynamic convolution model to explicitly and effectively perform the "summarize and search" process.

We introduce a similarity measure module to explicitly model the contradicting attributes of these two tasks. Considering the uncertainty of labeling in both tasks' datasets, we propose an adversarial learning network to achieve both higher order similarity measure and network confidence estimation.
