Recently, 3D multi-object tracking (MOT) has widely adopted the standard tracking-by-detection paradigm, which solves the association problem between detections and tracks. Many tracking-by-detection approaches establish constrained relationships between detections and tracks using a distance threshold to reduce confusion during association. However, this approach does not effectively and comprehensively utilize the information regarding objects due to the constraints of the distance threshold. In this paper, we propose GRAE-3DMOT, Geometry Relation-Aware Encoder 3D Multi-Object Tracking, which contains a geometric relation-aware encoder to produce informative features for association. The geometric relation-aware encoder consists of three components: a spatial relation-aware encoder, a spatiotemporal relation-aware encoder, and a distance-aware feature fusion layer. The spatial relation-aware encoder effectively aggregates detection features by comprehensively exploiting as many detections as possible. The spatiotemporal relation-aware encoder provides spatiotemporal relation-aware features by combing spatial and temporal relation features, where the spatiotemporal relation-aware features are transformed into association scores for MOT. The distance-aware feature fusion layer is integrated into both encoders to enhance the relation features of physically proximate objects. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed GRAE-3DMOT outperforms the state-of-the-art on the nuScenes. Our approach achieves 73.7% and 70.2% AMOTA on the nuScenes validation and test sets using CenterPoint detections. Code is available at https://github.com/altkddhfcjs/GRAE-3DMOT.

Existing view transformations in vision-centric 3D Semantic Scene Completion (SSC) inevitably experience erroneous feature duplication in the reconstructed voxel space due to occlusions, leading to a dilution of informative contexts. Furthermore, semantic classes exhibit high variability in their appearance in real-world driving scenarios. To address these issues, we introduce a novel 3D SSC method, called SOAP, including two key components: an occluded region-aware view projection and a scene-adaptive decoder. The occluded region-aware view projection effectively converts 2D image features into voxel space, refining the duplicated features of occluded regions using information gathered from previous observations. The sceneadaptive decoder guides query embeddings to learn diverse driving environments based on a comprehensive semantic repository. Extensive experiments validate that the proposed SOAP significantly outperforms existing methods for the vision-centric 3D SSC on automated driving datasets, SemanticKITTI and SSCBench.

3D traffic scene comprises various 3D information about car objects, including their pose and shape. However, most recent studies pay relatively less attention to reconstructing detailed shapes. Furthermore, most of them treat each 3D object as an independent one, resulting in losses of relative context inter-objects and scene context reflecting road circumstances. A novel monocular 3D pose and shape reconstruction algorithm, based on bi-contextual attention and attention-guided modeling (BAAM), is proposed in this work. First, given 2D primitives, we reconstruct 3D object shape based on attention-guided modeling that considers the relevance between detected objects and vehicle shape priors. Next, we estimate 3D object pose through bi-contextual attention, which leverages relation-context inter objects and scene-context between an object and road environment. Finally, we propose a 3D nonmaximum suppression algorithm to eliminate spurious objects based on their Bird-Eye-View distance. Extensive experiments demonstrate that the proposed BAAM yields state-of-the-art performance on ApolloCar3D. Also, they show that the proposed BAAM can be plugged into any mature monocular 3D object detector on KITTI and significantly boost their performance.

Recent graph-based face clustering methods predict the connectivity of enormous edges, including false positive edges that link nodes with different classes. However, those false positive edges, which connect negative node pairs, have the risk of integration of different clusters when their connectivity is incorrectly estimated. This paper proposes a novel face clustering method to address this problem. The proposed clustering method employs density-based clustering, which maintains edges that have higher density. For this purpose, we propose a reliable density estimation algorithm based on local connectivity between K nearest neighbors (KNN). We effectively exclude negative pairs from the KNN graph based on the reliable density while maintaining sufficient positive pairs. Furthermore, we develop a pairwise connectivity estimation network to predict the connectivity of the selected edges. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed clustering method significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art clustering methods on large-scale face clustering datasets and fashion image clustering datasets.

Images captured with irregular exposures inevitably present unsatisfactory visual effects, such as distorted hue and color tone. However, most recent studies mainly focus on underexposure correction, which limits their applicability to real-world scenarios where exposure levels vary. Furthermore, some works to tackle multiple exposure rely on the encoder-decoder architecture, resulting in losses of details in input images during down-sampling and up-sampling processes. With this regard, a novel correction algorithm for multiple exposure, called luminance-aware color transform (LACT), is proposed in this study. First, we reason the relative exposure condition between images to obtain luminance features based on a luminance comparison module. Next, we encode the set of transformation functions from the luminance features, which enable complex color transformations for both overexposure and underexposure images. Finally, we project the transformed representation onto RGB color space to produce exposure correction results. Extensive experiments demonstrate that the proposed LACT yields new state-of-the-arts on two multiple exposure datasets. Code is available at https://github.com/whdgusdl48/LACT.
