Understanding the world from a first-person perspective is essential in Augmented Reality (AR), as it introduces unique challenges and significant visual transformations compared to third-person views. While synthetic data has greatly benefited vision models in third-person views, its utilization in tasks involving embodied egocentric perception still needs to be explored. A major obstacle in this…
Enhancing the receptive field of models is crucial for effective 3D medical image segmentation. Traditional convolutional neural networks (CNNs) often struggle to capture global information from high-resolution 3D medical images. One proposed solution is the utilization of depth-wise convolution with larger kernel sizes to capture a wider range of features. However, CNN-based approaches need help…
Large-scale pre-trained vision-language models, exemplified by CLIP (Radford et al., 2021), exhibit remarkable generalizability across diverse visual domains and real-world tasks. However, their zero-shot in-distribution (ID) performance faces limitations on certain downstream datasets. Additionally, when evaluated in a closed-set manner, these models often struggle with out-of-distribution (OOD) samples from novel classes, posing safety risks in…
