Perceptual 3D Simulation With Physical World Modeling
Wanhee Lee, Klemen Kotar, Rahul Mysore Venkatesh +2
Predicting how a scene will evolve after a desired 3D transformation from images is a central goal in vision, graphics, and robotics. Yet unlike ideal simulators with full access t…
Physical Object Understanding with a Physically Controllable World Model
Rahul Venkatesh, Klemen Kotar, Lilian Naing Chen +9
A central challenge in visual intelligence is learning the physical structure of scenes from raw videos: how regions form objects and the laws that govern their interactions. Solvi…
Unified 3D Scene Understanding Through Physical World Modeling
Wanhee Lee, Klemen Kotar, Rahul Mysore Venkatesh +4
Understanding 3D scenes requires flexible combinations of visual reasoning tasks, including depth estimation, novel view synthesis, and object manipulation, all of which are essent…
Zero-shot World Models Are Developmentally Efficient Learners
Khai Loong Aw, Klemen Kotar, Wanhee Lee +6
Young children demonstrate early abilities to understand their physical world, estimating depth, motion, object coherence, interactions, and many other aspects of physical scene un…
Autoregressive Flow Matching for Motion Prediction
Johnathan Xie, Stefan Stojanov, Cristobal Eyzaguirre +2
Motion prediction has been studied in different contexts with models trained on narrow distributions and applied to downstream tasks in human motion prediction and robotics. Simult…
Taming generative video models for zero-shot optical flow extraction
Seungwoo Kim, Khai Loong Aw, Klemen Kotar +8
Extracting optical flow from videos remains a core computer vision problem. Motivated by the recent success of large general-purpose models, we ask whether frozen self-supervised v…
