Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for object recognition neural network for amodal center prediction. One of the methods includes receiving an image of an object captured by a camera. The image of the object is processed using an object recognition neural network that is configured to generate an object recognition output. The object recognition output includes data defining a predicted two-dimensional amodal center of the object, wherein the predicted two-dimensional amodal center of the object is a projection of a predicted three-dimensional center of the object under a camera pose of the camera that captured the image.

Abstract: This document describes scene understanding for cross reality systems using occupancy grids. In one aspect, a method includes recognizing one or more objects in a model of a physical environment generated using images of the physical environment. For each object, a bounding box is fit around the object. An occupancy grid that includes a multiple cells is generated within the bounding box around the object. A value is assigned to each cell of the occupancy grid based on whether the cell includes a portion of the object. An object representation that includes information describing the occupancy grid for the object is generated. The object representations are sent to one or more devices.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for training an object recognition neural network using multiple data sources. One of the methods includes receiving training data that includes a plurality of training images from a first source and images from a second source. A set of training images are obtained from the training data. For each training image in the set of training images, contrast equalization is applied to the training image to generate a modified image. The modified image is processed using the neural network to generate an object recognition output for the modified image. A loss is determined based on errors between, for each training image in the set, the object recognition output for the modified image generated from the training image and ground-truth annotation for the training image. Parameters of the neural network are updated based on the determined loss.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for scalable three-dimensional (3-D) object recognition in a cross reality system. One of the methods includes maintaining object data specifying objects that have been recognized in a scene. A stream of input images of the scene is received, including a stream of color images and a stream of depth images. A color image is provided as input to an object recognition system. A recognition output that identifies a respective object mask for each object in the color image is received. A synchronization system determines a corresponding depth image for the color image. A 3-D bounding box generation system determines a respective 3-D bounding box for each object that has been recognized in the color image. Data specifying one or more 3-D bounding boxes is received as output from the 3-D bounding box generation system.

Abstract: A system and method for stemming flow of information from a negative campaign are described. A status for each node of a set of preselected nodes in a social network graph is identified. The status indicates whether a node has been infected with information from a negative campaign. A source and a flow of the negative campaign are identified based on the status of the nodes from the set of preselected nodes and a topology of the social network graph. A susceptibility score is computed for one or more nodes of the social network. The susceptibility score is computed using a measure of vulnerability of nodes that have not received the information based on the flow of the negative campaign, and a measure of reachability of nodes from the source. Nodes susceptible to adopting and spreading the information from the negative campaign are identified based on the susceptibility score.
