  • Publication number: 20250356581
    Abstract: Systems and methods for generating a three-dimensional (3D) scene include generating a depth video based on a text description input, a high-definition (HD) map input, and an ego trajectory input wherein geometry consistency guidance is applied to enforce geometry consistency in the depth video. A color video is generated based on the text description input, the HD map input, the ego trajectory input, and the depth video wherein geometry consistency guidance is applied to enforce geometry consistency in the color video; and generating a 3D scene based on the depth video, the color video, and the ego trajectory input.

  • Publication number: 20250148757
    Abstract: Systems and methods for a self-improving data engine for autonomous vehicles is presented. To train the self-improving data engine for autonomous vehicles (SIDE), multi-modality dense captioning (MMDC) models can detect unrecognized classes from diversified descriptions for input images. A vision-language-model (VLM) can generate textual features from the diversified descriptions and image features from corresponding images to the diversified descriptions. Curated features, including curated textual features and curated image features, can be obtained by comparing similarity scores between the textual features and top-ranked image features based on their likelihood scores. Generate annotations, including bounding boxes and labels, can be generated for the curated features by comparing the similarity scores of labels generated by a zero-shot classifier and the curated textual features. The SIDE can be trained using the curated features, annotations, and feedback.

  • Publication number: 20250118063
    Abstract: Systems and methods include detecting one or more objects in an image and generating one or more captions for the image. One or more predicted categories of the one or more objects detected in the image and the one or more captions are matched. From the one or more predicted categories, a category that is not successfully predicted in the image is identified. Data is curated to improve the category that is not successfully predicted in the image. A perception model is finetuned using data curated.

  • Publication number: 20250118044
    Abstract: Systems and methods for identifying novel objects in an image include detecting one or more objects in an image and generating one or more captions for the image. One or more predicted categories of the one or more objects detected in the image and the one or more captions are matched to identify, from the one or more predicted categories, a category of a novel object in the image. An image feature and a text description feature are generated using a description of the novel object. A relevant image is selected using a similarity score between the image feature and the text description feature. A model is updated using the relevant image and associated description of the novel object.

  • Patent number: 11610420
    Abstract: Systems and methods for human detection are provided. The system aligns image level features between a source domain and a target domain based on an adversarial learning process while training a domain discriminator. The target domain includes humans in one or more different scenes. The system selects, using the domain discriminator, unlabeled samples from the target domain that are far away from existing annotated samples from the target domain. The system selects, based on a prediction score of each of the unlabeled samples, samples with lower prediction scores. The system annotates the samples with the lower prediction scores.
