• Abstract summary: Previous approaches mainly predict the next best view near the agent's location, which is prone to getting stuck in local areas. We introduce a novel dataset AiMDoom with a map generator for the Doom video game, enabling to better benchmark active 3D mapping in diverse indoor environments. We propose a new method we call next-best-path (NBP), which predicts long-term goals rather than focusing solely on short-sighted views.

• Abstract: This work addresses the problem of active 3D mapping, where an agent must find an efficient trajectory to exhaustively reconstruct a new scene. Previous approaches mainly predict the next best view near the agent's location, which is prone to getting stuck in local areas. Additionally, existing indoor datasets are insufficient due to limited geometric complexity and inaccurate ground truth meshes. To overcome these limitations, we introduce a novel dataset AiMDoom with a map generator for the Doom video game, enabling to better benchmark active 3D mapping in diverse indoor environments. Moreover, we propose a new method we call next-best-path (NBP), which predicts long-term goals rather than focusing solely on short-sighted views. The model jointly predicts accumulated surface coverage gains for long-term goals and obstacle maps, allowing it to efficiently plan optimal paths with a unified model. By leveraging online data collection, data augmentation and curriculum learning, NBP significantly outperforms state-of-the-art methods on both the existing MP3D dataset and our AiMDoom dataset, achieving more efficient mapping in indoor environments of varying complexity.

  Recent learning-based methods integrate neural implicit representations and optimizable feature grids to approximate surfaces of 3D scenes. In this work we depart from fitting LiDAR data exactly, instead letting the network optimize a non-metric monotonic implicit field defined in 3D space. Our algorithm achieves high-quality dense 3D mapping performance as captured by multiple quantitative and perceptual measures and visual results obtained for Mai City, Newer College, and KITTI benchmarks.

  We propose an OccNeRF method for training occupancy networks without 3D supervision. We parameterize the reconstructed occupancy fields and reorganize the sampling strategy to align with the cameras' infinite perceptive range. For semantic occupancy prediction, we design several strategies to polish the prompts and filter the outputs of a pretrained open-vocabulary 2D segmentation model.

  LocATe is an end-to-end approach that jointly localizes and recognizes actions in a 3D sequence. Unlike transformer-based object-detection and classification models which consider image or patch features as input, LocATe's transformer model is capable of capturing long-term correlations between actions in a sequence. We introduce a new, challenging, and more realistic benchmark dataset, BABEL-TAL-20 (BT20), where the performance of state-of-the-art methods is significantly worse.
