Open-Vocabulary and Referring Segmentation for 3D Gaussians Using 2D Detectors
Jameel Hassan, Yasiru Ranasinghe, Vishal Patel
3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) has emerged at the forefront of 3D scene reconstruction. Extending 3DGS with language-driven, open-vocabulary understanding has gained significant atte…
Thermo-VL: Extending Vision-Language Models to Thermal Infrared Perception
Rusiru Thushara, Yasiru Ranasinghe, Jay Paranjape +1
Vision-language models (VLMs) often fail under low illumination because their visual grounding is learned predominantly from RGB imagery, whereas thermal infrared preserves complem…
Thermal-Det: Language-Guided Cross-Modal Distillation for Open-Vocabulary Thermal Object Detection
Yasiru Ranasinghe, Elim Schenck, Florence Yellin +3
Existing open-vocabulary detectors focus on RGB images and fail to generalize to thermal imagery, where low texture and emissivity variations challenge RGB-based semantics. We pres…
SINR: Sparsity Driven Compressed Implicit Neural Representations
Dhananjaya Jayasundara, Sudarshan Rajagopalan, Yasiru Ranasinghe +2
Implicit Neural Representations (INRs) are increasingly recognized as a versatile data modality for representing discretized signals, offering benefits such as infinite query resol…
Zero-Shot Scene Understanding for Automatic Target Recognition Using Large Vision-Language Models
Yasiru Ranasinghe, Vibashan VS, James Uplinger +2
Automatic target recognition (ATR) plays a critical role in tasks such as navigation and surveillance, where safety and accuracy are paramount. In extreme use cases, such as milita…
