Regularizing Dynamic Radiance Fields with Kinematic FieldsWoobin Im, Geonho Cha, Sebin Lee et al.
This paper presents a novel approach for reconstructing dynamic radiance fields from monocular videos. We integrate kinematics with dynamic radiance fields, bridging the gap between the sparse nature of monocular videos and the real-world physics. Our method introduces the kinematic field, capturing motion through kinematic quantities: velocity, acceleration, and jerk. The kinematic field is jointly learned with the dynamic radiance field by minimizing the photometric loss without motion ground truth. We further augment our method with physics-driven regularizers grounded in kinematics. We propose physics-driven regularizers that ensure the physical validity of predicted kinematic quantities, including advective acceleration and jerk. Additionally, we control the motion trajectory based on rigidity equations formed with the predicted kinematic quantities. In experiments, our method outperforms the state-of-the-arts by capturing physical motion patterns within challenging real-world monocular videos.
Extending Segment Anything Model into Auditory and Temporal Dimensions for Audio-Visual SegmentationJuhyeong Seon, Woobin Im, Sebin Lee et al.
Audio-visual segmentation (AVS) aims to segment sound sources in the video sequence, requiring a pixel-level understanding of audio-visual correspondence. As the Segment Anything Model (SAM) has strongly impacted extensive fields of dense prediction problems, prior works have investigated the introduction of SAM into AVS with audio as a new modality of the prompt. Nevertheless, constrained by SAM's single-frame segmentation scheme, the temporal context across multiple frames of audio-visual data remains insufficiently utilized. To this end, we study the extension of SAM's capabilities to the sequence of audio-visual scenes by analyzing contextual cross-modal relationships across the frames. To achieve this, we propose a Spatio-Temporal, Bidirectional Audio-Visual Attention (ST-BAVA) module integrated into the middle of SAM's image encoder and mask decoder. It adaptively updates the audio-visual features to convey the spatio-temporal correspondence between the video frames and audio streams. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our proposed model outperforms the state-of-the-art methods on AVS benchmarks, especially with an 8.3% mIoU gain on a challenging multi-sources subset.
