Overview

The hypothesis that image datasets gathered online “in the wild“ can produce biased object recognizers, e.g. preferring professional photography or certain viewing angles, is studied. A new “in the lab“ data collection infrastructure is proposed consisting of a drone which captures images as it circles around objects. It's inexpensive and easily replicable nature may also potentially lead to a scalable data collection effort by the vision community. The procedure's usefulness is demonstrated by creating a dataset of Objects Obtained With fLight (OOWL). Currently, OOWL contains 120,000 images of 500 objects and is the largest “in the lab“ image dataset available when both number of classes and objects per class are considered.

Project

Prior works on single view 3D reconstruction mostly relies on 3D model supervisions, which is impractical for real world applications. Recently, there are some works focus on single view 3D reconstruction without using 3D supervisions. Inspired by this direction of work, we investigate whether noisy 3D CAD models from commercial scanning device assist the problem of single view 3D reconstruction.

We also formed a paper reading group which covers most of the recent work of single view 3D reconstruction. Please check our paper reading list.

2019

Project

To investigate the problem of 3D reconstruction of real world objects, a new dataset containing 343 object scans are curated. A turntable along with a camera is used to captured images of an object from multiple views. These views are then imported to Agisoft to construct real world 3D models. In addition, in further extend the drone data collecion framework, we research various algorithms, including using OpenCV CSRT Tracker to make Intel Drone to autonomously circulate objects.

We also formed a paper reading group which covers most of the recent work of 3D representations, including voxel, point cloud, mesh and primitives. Please check our paper reading list.

2018

Project

The datset of OOWL and OOWL in the wild are collected which are later used in Catastrophic Child’s Play: Easy to Perform, Hard to Defend Adversarial Attacks and PIEs: Pose Invariant Embeddings respectively.
