Multi-Object Tracking in the Crowd

NSH 4305

Abstract: In this talk, I will focus on the problem of multi-object tracking in crowded scenes. Tracking within crowds is particularly challenging due to heavy occlusion and frequent crossover between tracking targets. The problem becomes more difficult when we only have noisy bounding boxes due to background and neighboring objects. Existing tracking methods try to [...]

Utilizing Panoptic Segmentation and a Locally-Conditioned Neural Representation to Build Richer 3D Maps

NSH 4305

Abstract: Advances in deep-learning based perception and maturation of volumetric RGB-D mapping algorithms have allowed autonomous robots to be deployed in increasingly complex environments. For robust operation in open-world conditions however, perceptual capabilities are still lacking. Limitations of commodity depth sensors mean that complex geometries and textures cannot be reconstructed accurately. Semantic understanding is still [...]
