TT4D: A Pipeline and Dataset for Table Tennis 4D Reconstruction From Monocular Videos

We present TT4D, a large-scale, high-fidelity table tennis dataset. It provides $140+$ hours of reconstructed singles and doubles gameplay from monocular broadcast videos, featuring multimodal annotations like high-quality camera calibrations, precise 3D ball positions, ball spin, time segmentation, and 3D human meshes over time. This rich data provides a new foundation for virtual replay, in-depth player analysis, and robot learning. The dataset's combination of scale and precision is achieved through a novel reconstruction pipeline. Prior methods first partition a game sequence into individual shot segments based on the 2D ball track, and only then attempt reconstruction. However, 2D-based time segmentation collapses under occlusion and varied camera viewpoints, preventing reliable reconstruction. We invert this paradigm by first lifting the entire unsegmented 2D ball track to 3D through a learned lifting network. This 3D trajectory then allows us to reliably perform time segmentation. The learned lifting network also infers the ball's spin, handles unreliable ball detections, and successfully reconstructs the ball trajectory in cases of high occlusion. This lift-first design is necessary, as our pipeline is the only method capable of reconstructing table tennis gameplay from general-view broadcast monocular videos. We demonstrate the dataset's fidelity through two downstream tasks: estimating the racket's pose \& velocity at impact, and training a generative model of competitive rallies.

Btech thesis report on adversarial attack detection and purification of adverserially attacked images

This is Btech thesis report on detection and purification of adverserially attacked images. A deep learning model is trained on certain training examples for various tasks such as classification, regression etc. By training, weights are adjusted such that the model performs the task well not only on training examples judged by a certain metric but has an excellent ability to generalize on other unseen examples as well which are typically called the test data. Despite the huge success of machine learning models on a wide range of tasks, security has received a lot less attention along the years. Robustness along various potential cyber attacks also should be a metric for the accuracy of the machine learning models. These cyber attacks can potentially lead to a variety of negative impacts in the real world sensitive applications for which machine learning is used such as medical and transportation systems. Hence, it is a necessity to secure the system from such attacks. Int this report, I focus on a class of these cyber attacks called the adversarial attacks in which the original input sample is modified by small perturbations such that they still look visually the same to human beings but the machine learning models are fooled by such inputs. In this report I discuss 2 novel ways to counter the adversarial attack using AutoEncoders, 1) by detecting the presence of adversaries and 2) purifying these adversaries to make target classification models robust against such attacks.

Delay-aware Robust Control for Safe Autonomous Driving and Racing

Delays endanger safety of autonomous systems operating in a rapidly changing environment, such as nondeterministic surrounding traffic participants in autonomous driving and high-speed racing. Unfortunately, delays are typically not considered during the conventional controller design or learning-enabled controller training phases prior to deployment in the physical world. In this paper, the computation delay from nonlinear optimization for motion planning and control, as well as other unavoidable delays caused by actuators, are addressed systematically and unifiedly. To deal with all these delays, in our framework: 1) we propose a new filtering approach with no prior knowledge of dynamics and disturbance distribution to adaptively and safely estimate the time-variant computation delay; 2) we model actuation dynamics for steering delay; 3) all the constrained optimization is realized in a robust tube model predictive controller. For the application merits, we demonstrate that our approach is suitable for both autonomous driving and autonomous racing. Our approach is a novel design for a standalone delay compensation controller. In addition, in the case that a learning-enabled controller assuming no delay works as a primary controller, our approach serves as the primary controller's safety guard.

Towards Adversarial Purification using Denoising AutoEncoders

With the rapid advancement and increased use of deep learning models in image identification, security becomes a major concern to their deployment in safety-critical systems. Since the accuracy and robustness of deep learning models are primarily attributed from the purity of the training samples, therefore the deep learning architectures are often susceptible to adversarial attacks. Adversarial attacks are often obtained by making subtle perturbations to normal images, which are mostly imperceptible to humans, but can seriously confuse the state-of-the-art machine learning models. We propose a framework, named APuDAE, leveraging Denoising AutoEncoders (DAEs) to purify these samples by using them in an adaptive way and thus improve the classification accuracy of the target classifier networks that have been attacked. We also show how using DAEs adaptively instead of using them directly, improves classification accuracy further and is more robust to the possibility of designing adaptive attacks to fool them. We demonstrate our results over MNIST, CIFAR-10, ImageNet dataset and show how our framework (APuDAE) provides comparable and in most cases better performance to the baseline methods in purifying adversaries. We also design adaptive attack specifically designed to attack our purifying model and demonstrate how our defense is robust to that.
