OpenMask3D: Open-Vocabulary 3D Instance Segmentation
Ayça Takmaz, Elisabetta Fedele, Robert W. Sumner +3
We introduce the task of open-vocabulary 3D instance segmentation. Current approaches for 3D instance segmentation can typically only recognize object categories from a pre-defined…
Animating Sand, Mud, and Snow
Robert W. Sumner, James F. O'Brien, Jessica K. Hodgins
Computer animations often lack the subtle environmental changes that should occur due to the actions of the characters. Squealing car tires usually leave no skid marks, airplanes r…
3D Segmentation of Humans in Point Clouds with Synthetic Data
Ayça Takmaz, Jonas Schult, Irem Kaftan +5
Segmenting humans in 3D indoor scenes has become increasingly important with the rise of human-centered robotics and AR/VR applications. To this end, we propose the task of joint 3…
Experiments as Code: A Concept for Reproducible, Auditable, Debuggable, Reusable, & Scalable Experiments
Leonel Aguilar, Michal Gath-Morad, Jascha Grübel +7
A common concern in experimental research is the auditability and reproducibility of experiments. Experiments are usually designed, provisioned, managed, and analyzed by diverse te…
The Hitchhiker's Guide to Fused Twins: A Review of Access to Digital Twins in situ in Smart Cities
Jascha Grübel, Tyler Thrash, Leonel Aguilar +5
Smart Cities already surround us, and yet they are still incomprehensibly far from directly impacting everyday life. While current Smart Cities are often inaccessible, the experien…
Emergence of integrated institutions in a large population of self-governing communities
Seth Frey, Robert W Sumner
Most aspects of our lives are governed by large, highly developed institutions that integrate several governance tasks under one authority structure. But theorists differ as to the…
Crowd Behaviour during High-Stress Evacuations in an Immersive Virtual Environment
Mehdi Moussaïd, Mubbasir Kapadia, Tyler Thrash +4
Understanding the collective dynamics of crowd movements during stressful emergency situations is central to reducing the risk of deadly crowd disasters. Yet, their systematic expe…
Towards a living earth simulator
M. Paolucci, D. Kossman, R. Conte +17
The Living Earth Simulator (LES) is one of the core components of the FuturICT architecture. It will work as a federation of methods, tools, techniques and facilities supporting al…
