ReVLA: Reverting Visual Domain Limitation of Robotic Foundation Models


Sombit Dey, Jan-Nico, Nikolay, Danda Pani Paudel, Luc Van Gool
Accepted at ICRA 2025

Fine-Grained Spatial and Verbal Losses for 3D Visual Grounding


Sombit Dey, Ozan Unal, Christos Sakaridis, Luc Van Gool
WACV 2025
arxiv / code / website /

We introduce two novel losses for 3D visual grounding: a visual-level offset loss on regressed vector offsets from each instance to the ground-truth referred instance and a language-related span loss on predictions for the word-level span of the referred instance in the description
