Test-time adaptation for 6D pose tracking

We propose a test -time adaptation for 6D object pose tracking that learns to adapt a pre -trained model to track the 6D pose of novel objects. We consider the problem of 6D object pose tracking as a 3D keypoint detection and matching task and present a mo ...

Match Normalization: Learning-Based Point Cloud Registration for 6D Object Pose Estimation in the Real World

Mathieu Salzmann, Zheng Dang

In this work, we tackle the task of estimating the 6D pose of an object from point cloud data. While recent learning-based approaches have shown remarkable success on synthetic datasets, we have observed them to fail in the presence of real-world data. We ...

Wave-momentum shaping for moving objects in heterogeneous and dynamic media

Stefan Rotter, Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury, Bakhtiyar Orazbayev, Matthieu Francis Malléjac

Light and sound waves can move objects through the transfer of linear or angular momentum, which has led to the development of optical and acoustic tweezers, with applications ranging from biomedical engineering to quantum optics. Although impressive manip ...

Biases in Information Selection and Processing: Survey Evidence from the Pandemic

Andreas Fuster

We conduct two survey experiments to study which information people choose to consume and how it affects their beliefs. In the first experiment, respondents choose between optimistic and pessimistic article headlines related to the COVID-19 pandemic and ar ...

Combination of dielectrophoretic and hydrodynamic traps for the controlled contact between cells or beads and application to adhesion assays

Clémentine Sophie Sarah Lipp

Multicellular organisms require very well organized and finely balanced cell-cell communication, adhesion and coordination to ensure the organisms homeostasis. These functions rely on specialized receptors placed at the cells membrane whose binding to thei ...

Signal strength and integrated intensity in confocal and image scanning microscopy

Giorgio Tortarolo

The properties of signal strength and integrated intensity in a scanned imaging system are reviewed. These prop-erties are especially applied to confocal imaging systems, including image scanning microscopy. The integrated intensity, equal to the image of ...

Effects of item distinctiveness on the retrieval of objects and object-location bindings from visual working memory

Yury Markov

Visual working memory (VWM) is prone to interference from stored items competing for its limited capacity. Distinctiveness or similarity of the items is acknowledged to affect this competition, such that poor item distinctiveness causes a failure to discri ...

Between digital and territorial turns: A forking path

Elena Cogato Lanza, Chiara Cavalieri

This chapter looks at the intertwined evolution of two different ideas throughout the past century: that of ‘territory’, that has been reshaped and redefined in the field of architecture and urbanism, and that of ‘digital’, that while becoming dominant, ha ...

Measurement in the Age of Information

Marilyne Andersen, Forrest Simon Webler

Information is the resolution of uncertainty and manifests itself as patterns. Although complex, most observable phenomena are not random and instead are associated with deterministic, chaotic systems. The underlying patterns and symmetries expressed from ...

Visual Scene Understanding for Transportation: From Detecting Objects To Relationships

George Adaimi

Transportation, which deals with moving people and goods around, has a clear impact on the economic development of our society and our well-being. Traditionally, transportation was studied and analyzed using expensive sensors, such as induction loops, that ...

Learning to Represent and Reconstruct 3D Deformable Objects

Jan Bednarík

Representing and reconstructing 3D deformable shapes are two tightly linked problems that have long been studied within the computer vision field. Deformable shapes are truly ubiquitous in the real world, whether be it specific object classes such as human ...

Bio-inspired Reflex System for Learning Visual Information for Resilient Robotic Manipulation

Josephine Anna Eleanor Hughes, Kai Christian Junge

Humans have an incredible sense of self-preservation that is both instilled, and also learned through experience. One system which contributes to this is the pain and reflex system which both minimizes damage through involuntary reflex ac- tions and also s ...

Probabilistic Tracklet Scoring and Inpainting for Multiple Object Tracking

Mathieu Salzmann, Fatemehsadat Saleh

Despite the recent advances in multiple object tracking (MOT), achieved by joint detection and tracking, dealing with long occlusions remains a challenge. This is due to the fact that such techniques tend to ignore the long-term motion information. In this ...
