BEA-GS: BEyond RAdiance Supervision in 3DGS for Precise Object Extraction

Most Gaussian Splatting techniques that provide a 3D semantic representation of the scene do not optimize the underlying 3D geometry, making object-level editing or asset extraction challenging. Recent methods, such as COBGS, Trace3D, ObjectGS, acknowledge this limitation and propose approaches that modify the scene's geometry to represent the underlying semantics. We advance this concept further by proposing a novel solution that provides near perfect boundaries in object extraction. We do so by introducing two new losses in the optimization that take care of: 1) a loss that modifies the geometry of visible Gaussians to respect semantic boundaries, and 2) a loss that adjusts the geometry of non-visible Gaussians that appear once the object is extracted. Our first loss propagates gradients directly through the rasterization, allowing for seamless integration within the optimization of the Gaussian parameters. The second loss also propagates gradients to Gaussian parameters but does so without passing through the rasterization, enabling modification of the scene's geometry even when little transmittance reaches a Gaussian (partial or non-visible). Exhaustive comparisons with 12 state of the art methods across 4 datasets, using six metrics, demonstrate that our approach produces overall the best boundary segmentation to date.

Debiased-CAM to mitigate image perturbations with faithful visual explanations of machine learning

Model explanations such as saliency maps can improve user trust in AI by highlighting important features for a prediction. However, these become distorted and misleading when explaining predictions of images that are subject to systematic error (bias) by perturbations and corruptions. Furthermore, the distortions persist despite model fine-tuning on images biased by different factors (blur, color temperature, day/night). We present Debiased-CAM to recover explanation faithfulness across various bias types and levels by training a multi-input, multi-task model with auxiliary tasks for explanation and bias level predictions. In simulation studies, the approach not only enhanced prediction accuracy, but also generated highly faithful explanations about these predictions as if the images were unbiased. In user studies, debiased explanations improved user task performance, perceived truthfulness and perceived helpfulness. Debiased training can provide a versatile platform for robust performance and explanation faithfulness for a wide range of applications with data biases.

Enhancing Egocentric 3D Pose Estimation with Third Person Views

In this paper, we propose a novel approach to enhance the 3D body pose estimation of a person computed from videos captured from a single wearable camera. The key idea is to leverage high-level features linking first- and third-views in a joint embedding space. To learn such embedding space we introduce First2Third-Pose, a new paired synchronized dataset of nearly 2,000 videos depicting human activities captured from both first- and third-view perspectives. We explicitly consider spatial- and motion-domain features, combined using a semi-Siamese architecture trained in a self-supervised fashion. Experimental results demonstrate that the joint multi-view embedded space learned with our dataset is useful to extract discriminatory features from arbitrary single-view egocentric videos, without needing domain adaptation nor knowledge of camera parameters. We achieve significant improvement of egocentric 3D body pose estimation performance on two unconstrained datasets, over three supervised state-of-the-art approaches. Our dataset and code will be available for research purposes.
