我们提出了X-NERF，这是一种基于神经辐射场公式，从具有不同光谱敏感性的相机捕获的跨光谱场景表示的新颖方法，给出了从具有不同光谱灵敏度的相机捕获的图像。X-NERF在训练过程中优化了整个光谱的相机姿势，并利用归一化的跨设备坐标（NXDC）从任意观点呈现不同模态的图像，这些观点是对齐的，并以相同的分辨率对齐。在16个前面的场景上进行的实验，具有颜色，多光谱和红外图像，证实了X-NERF在建模跨光谱场景表示方面的有效性。

自我监督的单眼深度估计是一种有吸引力的解决方案，不需要难以供应的深度标签进行训练。卷积神经网络（CNN）最近在这项任务中取得了巨大成功。但是，他们的受欢迎的领域有限地限制了现有的网络体系结构，以便在本地进行推理，从而抑制了自我监督范式的有效性。鉴于Vision Transformers（VIT）最近取得的成功，我们提出了Monovit，这是一个崭新的框架，结合了VIT模型支持的全球推理以及自我监督的单眼深度估计的灵活性。通过将普通的卷积与变压器块相结合，我们的模型可以在本地和全球范围内推理，从而在较高的细节和准确性上产生深度预测，从而使MonoVit可以在已建立的Kitti数据集中实现最先进的性能。此外，Monovit证明了其在其他数据集（例如Make3D和Drivingstereo）上的出色概括能力。

我们通过求解立体声匹配对应关系来解决注册同步颜色（RGB）和多光谱（MS）图像的问题。目的是，我们引入了一个新颖的RGB-MS数据集，在室内环境中框架13个不同的场景，并提供了34个图像对，并以差距图的形式带有半密度的高分辨率高分辨率地面标签。为了解决这项任务，我们提出了一个深度学习架构，通过利用进一步的RGB摄像机来以自我监督的方式进行培训，这仅在培训数据获取过程中需要。在此设置中，我们可以通过将知识从更轻松的RGB-RGB匹配任务中提炼出基于大约11K未标记的图像三重列表的集合来使知识从更轻松的RGB-RGB匹配任务中提取知识，从而方便地学习跨模式匹配。实验表明，提议的管道为这项小说，具有挑战性的任务进行了未来的研究，为未来的研究设定了良好的性能栏（1.16像素的平均注册错误）。

我们提出了一个新颖的高分辨率和具有挑战性的立体声数据集框架室内场景，并以致密而准确的地面真相差异注释。我们数据集的特殊是存在几个镜面和透明表面的存在，即最先进的立体声网络失败的主要原因。我们的采集管道利用了一个新颖的深度时空立体声框架，该框架可以轻松准确地使用子像素精度进行标记。我们总共发布了419个样本，这些样本在64个不同的场景中收集，并以致密的地面差异注释。每个样本包括高分辨率对（12 MPX）以及一个不平衡对（左：12 MPX，右：1.1 MPX）。此外，我们提供手动注释的材料分割面具和15K未标记的样品。我们根据我们的数据集评估了最新的深层网络，强调了它们在解决立体声方面的开放挑战方面的局限性，并绘制了未来研究的提示。

Recent years have seen a proliferation of research on adversarial machine learning. Numerous papers demonstrate powerful algorithmic attacks against a wide variety of machine learning (ML) models, and numerous other papers propose defenses that can withstand most attacks. However, abundant real-world evidence suggests that actual attackers use simple tactics to subvert ML-driven systems, and as a result security practitioners have not prioritized adversarial ML defenses. Motivated by the apparent gap between researchers and practitioners, this position paper aims to bridge the two domains. We first present three real-world case studies from which we can glean practical insights unknown or neglected in research. Next we analyze all adversarial ML papers recently published in top security conferences, highlighting positive trends and blind spots. Finally, we state positions on precise and cost-driven threat modeling, collaboration between industry and academia, and reproducible research. We believe that our positions, if adopted, will increase the real-world impact of future endeavours in adversarial ML, bringing both researchers and practitioners closer to their shared goal of improving the security of ML systems.

When simulating soft robots, both their morphology and their controllers play important roles in task performance. This paper introduces a new method to co-evolve these two components in the same process. We do that by using the hyperNEAT algorithm to generate two separate neural networks in one pass, one responsible for the design of the robot body structure and the other for the control of the robot. The key difference between our method and most existing approaches is that it does not treat the development of the morphology and the controller as separate processes. Similar to nature, our method derives both the "brain" and the "body" of an agent from a single genome and develops them together. While our approach is more realistic and doesn't require an arbitrary separation of processes during evolution, it also makes the problem more complex because the search space for this single genome becomes larger and any mutation to the genome affects "brain" and the "body" at the same time. Additionally, we present a new speciation function that takes into consideration both the genotypic distance, as is the standard for NEAT, and the similarity between robot bodies. By using this function, agents with very different bodies are more likely to be in different species, this allows robots with different morphologies to have more specialized controllers since they won't crossover with other robots that are too different from them. We evaluate the presented methods on four tasks and observe that even if the search space was larger, having a single genome makes the evolution process converge faster when compared to having separated genomes for body and control. The agents in our population also show morphologies with a high degree of regularity and controllers capable of coordinating the voxels to produce the necessary movements.

Filming sport videos from an aerial view has always been a hard and an expensive task to achieve, especially in sports that require a wide open area for its normal development or the ones that put in danger human safety. Recently, a new solution arose for aerial filming based on the use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), which is substantially cheaper than traditional aerial filming solutions that require conventional aircrafts like helicopters or complex structures for wide mobility. In this paper, we describe the design process followed for building a customized UAV suitable for sports aerial filming. The process includes the requirements definition, technical sizing and selection of mechanical, hardware and software technologies, as well as the whole integration and operation settings. One of the goals is to develop technologies allowing to build low cost UAVs and to manage them for a wide range of usage scenarios while achieving high levels of flexibility and automation. This work also shows some technical issues found during the development of the UAV as well as the solutions implemented.

We describe a Physics-Informed Neural Network (PINN) that simulates the flow induced by the astronomical tide in a synthetic port channel, with dimensions based on the Santos - S\~ao Vicente - Bertioga Estuarine System. PINN models aim to combine the knowledge of physical systems and data-driven machine learning models. This is done by training a neural network to minimize the residuals of the governing equations in sample points. In this work, our flow is governed by the Navier-Stokes equations with some approximations. There are two main novelties in this paper. First, we design our model to assume that the flow is periodic in time, which is not feasible in conventional simulation methods. Second, we evaluate the benefit of resampling the function evaluation points during training, which has a near zero computational cost and has been verified to improve the final model, especially for small batch sizes. Finally, we discuss some limitations of the approximations used in the Navier-Stokes equations regarding the modeling of turbulence and how it interacts with PINNs.

How would you fairly evaluate two multi-object tracking algorithms (i.e. trackers), each one employing a different object detector? Detectors keep improving, thus trackers can make less effort to estimate object states over time. Is it then fair to compare a new tracker employing a new detector with another tracker using an old detector? In this paper, we propose a novel performance measure, named Tracking Effort Measure (TEM), to evaluate trackers that use different detectors. TEM estimates the improvement that the tracker does with respect to its input data (i.e. detections) at frame level (intra-frame complexity) and sequence level (inter-frame complexity). We evaluate TEM over well-known datasets, four trackers and eight detection sets. Results show that, unlike conventional tracking evaluation measures, TEM can quantify the effort done by the tracker with a reduced correlation on the input detections. Its implementation is publicly available online at https://github.com/vpulab/MOT-evaluation.

Reinforcement learning allows machines to learn from their own experience. Nowadays, it is used in safety-critical applications, such as autonomous driving, despite being vulnerable to attacks carefully crafted to either prevent that the reinforcement learning algorithm learns an effective and reliable policy, or to induce the trained agent to make a wrong decision. The literature about the security of reinforcement learning is rapidly growing, and some surveys have been proposed to shed light on this field. However, their categorizations are insufficient for choosing an appropriate defense given the kind of system at hand. In our survey, we do not only overcome this limitation by considering a different perspective, but we also discuss the applicability of state-of-the-art attacks and defenses when reinforcement learning algorithms are used in the context of autonomous driving.
