UniSim: A Neural Closed-Loop Sensor Simulator

no code implementations CVPR 2023 Ze Yang, Yun Chen, Jingkang Wang, Sivabalan Manivasagam, Wei-Chiu Ma, Anqi Joyce Yang, Raquel Urtasun

Previously recorded driving logs provide a rich resource to build these new scenarios from, but for closed loop evaluation, we need to modify the sensor data based on the new scene configuration and the SDV's decisions, as actors might be added or removed and the trajectories of existing actors and the SDV will differ from the original log.

Towards Zero Domain Gap: A Comprehensive Study of Realistic LiDAR Simulation for Autonomy Testing

no code implementations ICCV 2023 Sivabalan Manivasagam, Ioan Andrei Bârsan, Jingkang Wang, Ze Yang, Raquel Urtasun

We leverage this setting to analyze what aspects of LiDAR simulation, such as pulse phenomena, scanning effects, and asset quality, affect the domain gap with respect to the autonomy system, including perception, prediction, and motion planning, and analyze how modifications to the simulated LiDAR influence each part.

Label-Guided Knowledge Distillation for Continual Semantic Segmentation on 2D Images and 3D Point Clouds

1 code implementation ICCV 2023 Ze Yang, Ruibo Li, Evan Ling, Chi Zhang, Yiming Wang, Dezhao Huang, Keng Teck Ma, Minhoe Hur, Guosheng Lin

To address this issue, we propose a new label-guided knowledge distillation (LGKD) loss, where the old model output is expanded and transplanted (with the guidance of the ground truth label) to form a semantically appropriate class correspondence with the new model output.

RBGNet: Ray-based Grouping for 3D Object Detection

1 code implementation CVPR 2022 Haiyang Wang, Shaoshuai Shi, Ze Yang, Rongyao Fang, Qi Qian, Hongsheng Li, Bernt Schiele, LiWei Wang

In order to learn better representations of object shape to enhance cluster features for predicting 3D boxes, we propose a ray-based feature grouping module, which aggregates the point-wise features on object surfaces using a group of determined rays uniformly emitted from cluster centers.

Open Domain Dialogue Generation with Latent Images

no code implementations4 Apr 2020 Ze Yang, Wei Wu, Huang Hu, Can Xu, Wei Wang, Zhoujun Li

Thus, we propose learning a response generation model with both image-grounded dialogues and textual dialogues by assuming that the visual scene information at the time of a conversation can be represented by an image, and trying to recover the latent images of the textual dialogues through text-to-image generation techniques.
