Online-Adaptive Self-Supervised Learning with Visual Foundation Models for Autonomous Off-Road Driving
Abstract: Autonomous robot navigation in off-road environments currently presents a number of challenges. The lack of structure makes it difficult to handcraft geometry-based heuristics that are robust to the diverse set of scenarios the robot might encounter. Many of the learned methods that work well in urban scenarios require massive amounts of hand-labeled data, but [...]
VoxDet: Voxel Learning for Novel Instance Detection
Abstract: Detecting unseen instances based on multi-view templates is a challenging problem due to its open-world nature. Traditional methodologies, which primarily rely on 2D representations and matching techniques, are often inadequate in handling pose variations and occlusions. To solve this, we introduce VoxDet, a pioneer 3D geometry-aware framework that fully utilizes the strong 3D voxel [...]
