Text to 3D Scene Generation with Rich Lexical Grounding
The ability to map descriptions of scenes to 3D geometric representations has
many applications in areas such as art, education, and robotics. However, prior
work on the text to 3D scene generation task has used manually specified object
categories and language that identifies them. We introduce a dataset of 3D
scenes annotated with natural language descriptions and learn from this data
how to ground textual descriptions to physical objects. Our method successfully
grounds a variety of lexical terms to concrete referents, and we show
quantitatively that our method improves 3D scene generation over previous work
using purely rule-based methods. We evaluate the fidelity and plausibility of
3D scenes generated with our grounding approach through human judgments. To
ease evaluation on this task, we also introduce an automated metric that
strongly correlates with human judgments.Comment: 10 pages, 7 figures, 3 tables. To appear in ACL-IJCNLP 201
Single-Shot Multi-Person 3D Pose Estimation From Monocular RGB
We propose a new single-shot method for multi-person 3D pose estimation in
general scenes from a monocular RGB camera. Our approach uses novel
occlusion-robust pose-maps (ORPM) which enable full body pose inference even
under strong partial occlusions by other people and objects in the scene. ORPM
outputs a fixed number of maps which encode the 3D joint locations of all
people in the scene. Body part associations allow us to infer 3D pose for an
arbitrary number of people without explicit bounding box prediction. To train
our approach we introduce MuCo-3DHP, the first large scale training data set
showing real images of sophisticated multi-person interactions and occlusions.
We synthesize a large corpus of multi-person images by compositing images of
individual people (with ground truth from mutli-view performance capture). We
evaluate our method on our new challenging 3D annotated multi-person test set
MuPoTs-3D where we achieve state-of-the-art performance. To further stimulate
research in multi-person 3D pose estimation, we will make our new datasets, and
associated code publicly available for research purposes.Comment: International Conference on 3D Vision (3DV), 201
LabelFusion: A Pipeline for Generating Ground Truth Labels for Real RGBD Data of Cluttered Scenes
Deep neural network (DNN) architectures have been shown to outperform
traditional pipelines for object segmentation and pose estimation using RGBD
data, but the performance of these DNN pipelines is directly tied to how
representative the training data is of the true data. Hence a key requirement
for employing these methods in practice is to have a large set of labeled data
for your specific robotic manipulation task, a requirement that is not
generally satisfied by existing datasets. In this paper we develop a pipeline
to rapidly generate high quality RGBD data with pixelwise labels and object
poses. We use an RGBD camera to collect video of a scene from multiple
viewpoints and leverage existing reconstruction techniques to produce a 3D
dense reconstruction. We label the 3D reconstruction using a human assisted
ICP-fitting of object meshes. By reprojecting the results of labeling the 3D
scene we can produce labels for each RGBD image of the scene. This pipeline
enabled us to collect over 1,000,000 labeled object instances in just a few
days. We use this dataset to answer questions related to how much training data
is required, and of what quality the data must be, to achieve high performance
from a DNN architecture
