• Abstract summary: We propose Spherical World-Locking as a general framework for egocentric scene representation. Compared to conventional head-locked egocentric representations with a 2D planar field-of-view, SWL effectively offsets challenges posed by self-motion. We design a unified encoder-decoder transformer architecture that preserves the spherical structure of the scene representation.

• Abstract: Egocentric videos provide comprehensive contexts for user and scene understanding, spanning multisensory perception to behavioral interaction. We propose Spherical World-Locking (SWL) as a general framework for egocentric scene representation, which implicitly transforms multisensory streams with respect to measurements of head orientation. Compared to conventional head-locked egocentric representations with a 2D planar field-of-view, SWL effectively offsets challenges posed by self-motion, allowing for improved spatial synchronization between input modalities. Using a set of multisensory embeddings on a worldlocked sphere, we design a unified encoder-decoder transformer architecture that preserves the spherical structure of the scene representation, without requiring expensive projections between image and world coordinate systems. We evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed framework on multiple benchmark tasks for egocentric video understanding, including audio-visual active speaker localization, auditory spherical source localization, and behavior anticipation in everyday activities.

  We propose to learn fine-grained action features that are invariant to the viewpoints by aligning egocentric and exocentric videos in time. To this end, we propose AE2, a self-supervised embedding approach with two key designs. For evaluation, we establish a benchmark for fine-grained video understanding in the ego-exo context.

  We propose a geometry-aware temporal aggregation module to handle the egomotion explicitly. The effect of egomotion is mitigated by estimating the temporal geometry transformation and exploiting it to update visual representations. It improves cross-modal localization robustness by disentangling visually-indicated audio representation.

  Learning depth and ego-motion from unlabeled videos via self-supervision from epipolar projection can improve the robustness and accuracy of the 3D perception and localization of vision-based robots. However, the rigid projection computed by ego-motion cannot represent all scene points, such as points on moving objects, leading to false guidance in these regions. We propose an Attentional Separation-and-Aggregation Network (ASANet) which can learn to distinguish and extract the scene's static and dynamic characteristics via the attention mechanism.
