- Abstract: Anticipating object state changes in images and videos is a challenging problem whose solution has important implications in vision-based scene understanding, automated monitoring systems, and action planning. In this work, we propose the first method for solving this problem. The proposed method predicts object state changes that will occur in the near future as a result of yet unseen human actions. To address this new problem, we propose a novel framework that integrates learnt visual features that represent the recent visual information, with natural language (NLP) features that represent past object state changes and actions. Leveraging the extensive and challenging Ego4D dataset which provides a large-scale collection of first-person perspective videos across numerous interaction scenarios, we introduce new curated annotation data for the object state change anticipation task (OSCA), noted as Ego4D-OSCA. An extensive experimental evaluation was conducted that demonstrates the efficacy of the proposed method in predicting object state changes in dynamic scenarios. The proposed work underscores the potential of integrating video and linguistic cues to enhance the predictive performance of video understanding systems. Moreover, it lays the groundwork for future research on the new task of object state change anticipation. The source code and the new annotation data (Ego4D-OSCA) will be made publicly available.

Accurately detecting active objects undergoing state changes is essential for comprehending human interactions and facilitating decision-making.
The existing methods for active object detection (AOD) primarily rely on visual appearance of the objects within input, such as changes in size, shape and relationship with hands.
We observe that the state changes are often the result of an interaction being performed upon the object, thus propose to use informed priors about object related plausible interactions to provide more reliable cues for AOD.
Our proposed framework achieves state-of-the-art performance on four datasets, namely Ego4D, Epic-Kitchens, MECCANO

We propose a novel framework for the task of object-centric video prediction, i.e., extracting the structure of a video sequence, as well as modeling objects dynamics and interactions from visual observations.
With the goal of learning meaningful object representations, we propose two object-centric video predictor (OCVP) transformer modules, which de-couple processing of temporal dynamics and object interactions.
In our experiments, we show how our object-centric prediction framework utilizing our OCVP predictors outperforms object-agnostic video prediction models on two different datasets.
