H2G: Hierarchy-Aware Hyperbolic Grouping for 3D Scenes

Hierarchical 3D grouping aims to recover scene groups across multiple granularities, from fine object parts to complete objects, without relying on semantic labels or a fixed vocabulary. The main challenge is to transform 2D foundation-model cues into coherent hierarchy supervision and embed that hierarchy in a 3D representation. We propose H2G, a hyperbolic affinity field for hierarchical 3D grouping. Our method derives semantically organized tree supervision by interpreting foundation-model affinities through Dasgupta's objective for similarity-based hierarchical clustering. This supervision is distilled into a single Lorentz hyperbolic feature field, whose geometry is well suited for tree-like branching structures. A hierarchy-aware objective aligns the field with fine-level assignments, coarse object structure, compact feature clusters, and LCA (Lowest Common Ancestor) ordering. This formulation represents multiple grouping levels in one feature space, enabling semantic hierarchical grouping grounded in 2D foundation-model knowledge.

Initiation of Interaction Detection Framework using a Nonverbal Cue for Human-Robot Interaction

This paper describes an initiation of interaction(IoI) detection framework without keywords for human-robot interaction(HRI) based on audio and vision sensor fusion in a domestic environment. In the proposed framework, the robot has its own audio and vision sensors, and can employ external vision sensor for stable human detection and tracking. When the user starts to speak while looking at the robot, the robot can localize his or her position by its sound source localization together with human tracking information. Then the robot can detect the IoI if it perceives the face of the speaker faces the robot. In case that the user does not speak directly, the robot can also detect the IoI if he or she looks at the robot for more than predefined periods of time. A state transition model for the proposed IoI detection framework is designed and verified by experiments with a mobile robot. In order to implement and associate our model in a robot architecture, all the components are implemented and integrated in the Robot Operating System(ROS) environment.

Observable bound for Gaussian illumination

We propose observable bounds for Gaussian illumination to maximize the signal-to-noise ratio, which minimizes the discrimination error between the presence and absence of a low-reflectivity target using Gaussian states. The observable bounds are achieved with mode-by-mode measurements. In the quantum regime using a two-mode squeezed vacuum state, our observable receiver outperforms the other feasible receivers whereas it cannot approach the quantum Chernoff bound. The corresponding observable cannot be implemented with heterodyne detections due to the additional vacuum noise. In the classical regime using a thermal state, a receiver implemented with a photon number difference measurement approaches its bound regardless of the signal mean photon number, while it asymptotically approaches the classical bound in the limit of a huge idler mean photon number.

CycleMorph: Cycle Consistent Unsupervised Deformable Image Registration

Image registration is a fundamental task in medical image analysis. Recently, deep learning based image registration methods have been extensively investigated due to their excellent performance despite the ultra-fast computational time. However, the existing deep learning methods still have limitation in the preservation of original topology during the deformation with registration vector fields. To address this issues, here we present a cycle-consistent deformable image registration. The cycle consistency enhances image registration performance by providing an implicit regularization to preserve topology during the deformation. The proposed method is so flexible that can be applied for both 2D and 3D registration problems for various applications, and can be easily extended to multi-scale implementation to deal with the memory issues in large volume registration. Experimental results on various datasets from medical and non-medical applications demonstrate that the proposed method provides effective and accurate registration on diverse image pairs within a few seconds. Qualitative and quantitative evaluations on deformation fields also verify the effectiveness of the cycle consistency of the proposed method.

Planning for target retrieval using a robotic manipulator in cluttered and occluded environments

This paper presents planning algorithms for a robotic manipulator with a fixed base in order to grasp a target object in cluttered environments. We consider a configuration of objects in a confined space with a high density so no collision-free path to the target exists. The robot must relocate some objects to retrieve the target while avoiding collisions. For fast completion of the retrieval task, the robot needs to compute a plan optimizing an appropriate objective value directly related to the execution time of the relocation plan. We propose planning algorithms that aim to minimize the number of objects to be relocated. Our objective value is appropriate for the object retrieval task because grasping and releasing objects often dominate the total running time. In addition to the algorithm working in fully known and static environments, we propose algorithms that can deal with uncertain and dynamic situations incurred by occluded views. The proposed algorithms are shown to be complete and run in polynomial time. Our methods reduce the total running time significantly compared to a baseline method (e.g., 25.1% of reduction in a known static environment with 10 objects
