Video super-resolution is one of the most popular tasks on mobile devices, being widely used for an automatic improvement of low-bitrate and low-resolution video streams. While numerous solutions have been proposed for this problem, they are usually quite computationally demanding, demonstrating low FPS rates and power efficiency on mobile devices. In this Mobile AI challenge, we address this problem and propose the participants to design an end-to-end real-time video super-resolution solution for mobile NPUs optimized for low energy consumption. The participants were provided with the REDS training dataset containing video sequences for a 4X video upscaling task. The runtime and power efficiency of all models was evaluated on the powerful MediaTek Dimensity 9000 platform with a dedicated AI processing unit capable of accelerating floating-point and quantized neural networks. All proposed solutions are fully compatible with the above NPU, demonstrating an up to 500 FPS rate and 0.2 [Watt / 30 FPS] power consumption. A detailed description of all models developed in the challenge is provided in this paper.

随着移动设备的普及，例如智能手机和可穿戴设备，更轻，更快的型号对于应用视频超级分辨率至关重要。但是，大多数以前的轻型模型倾向于集中于减少台式GPU模型推断的范围，这在当前的移动设备中可能不会节能。在本文中，我们提出了极端低功率超级分辨率（ELSR）网络，该网络仅在移动设备中消耗少量的能量。采用预训练和填充方法来提高极小模型的性能。广泛的实验表明，我们的方法在恢复质量和功耗之间取得了良好的平衡。最后，我们在目标总经理Dimenty 9000 PlantForm上，PSNR 27.34 dB和功率为0.09 w/30fps的竞争分数为90.9，在移动AI＆AIM 2022实时视频超级分辨率挑战中排名第一。

未经监督的人重新识别（重新ID）由于其解决监督重新ID模型的可扩展性问题而吸引了越来越多的关注。大多数现有的无监督方法采用迭代聚类机制，网络基于由无监督群集生成的伪标签进行培训。但是，聚类错误是不可避免的。为了产生高质量的伪标签并减轻聚类错误的影响，我们提出了一种新的群集关系建模框架，用于无监督的人重新ID。具体地，在聚类之前，基于曲线图相关学习（GCL）模块探索未标记图像之间的关系，然后将其用于聚类以产生高质量的伪标签。本，GCL适自适应地挖掘样本之间的关系迷你批次以减少培训时异常聚类的影响。为了更有效地训练网络，我们进一步提出了一种选择性对比学习（SCL）方法，具有选择性存储器银行更新策略。广泛的实验表明，我们的方法比在Market1501，Dukemtmc-Reid和MSMT17数据集上的大多数最先进的无人监督方法显示出更好的结果。我们将发布模型再现的代码。

基于学习的导航系统广泛用于自主应用，例如机器人，无人驾驶车辆和无人机。已经提出了专门的硬件加速器，以实现这种导航任务的高性能和能效。然而，硬件系统中的瞬态和永久性故障正在增加，并且可以灾难性地违反任务安全。同时，传统的基于冗余的保护方法挑战，用于部署资源受限的边缘应用。在本文中，我们通过从RL训练和推理的算法，对算法，故障模型和数据类型进行了实验评估导航系统的恢复性。我们进一步提出了两种有效的故障缓解技术，实现了基于学习的导航系统的2倍成功率和39％的飞行质量改进。

In this paper, we propose a robust 3D detector, named Cross Modal Transformer (CMT), for end-to-end 3D multi-modal detection. Without explicit view transformation, CMT takes the image and point clouds tokens as inputs and directly outputs accurate 3D bounding boxes. The spatial alignment of multi-modal tokens is performed implicitly, by encoding the 3D points into multi-modal features. The core design of CMT is quite simple while its performance is impressive. CMT obtains 73.0% NDS on nuScenes benchmark. Moreover, CMT has a strong robustness even if the LiDAR is missing. Code will be released at https://github.com/junjie18/CMT.

A recent study has shown a phenomenon called neural collapse in that the within-class means of features and the classifier weight vectors converge to the vertices of a simplex equiangular tight frame at the terminal phase of training for classification. In this paper, we explore the corresponding structures of the last-layer feature centers and classifiers in semantic segmentation. Based on our empirical and theoretical analysis, we point out that semantic segmentation naturally brings contextual correlation and imbalanced distribution among classes, which breaks the equiangular and maximally separated structure of neural collapse for both feature centers and classifiers. However, such a symmetric structure is beneficial to discrimination for the minor classes. To preserve these advantages, we introduce a regularizer on feature centers to encourage the network to learn features closer to the appealing structure in imbalanced semantic segmentation. Experimental results show that our method can bring significant improvements on both 2D and 3D semantic segmentation benchmarks. Moreover, our method ranks 1st and sets a new record (+6.8% mIoU) on the ScanNet200 test leaderboard. Code will be available at https://github.com/dvlab-research/Imbalanced-Learning.

Witnessing the impressive achievements of pre-training techniques on large-scale data in the field of computer vision and natural language processing, we wonder whether this idea could be adapted in a grab-and-go spirit, and mitigate the sample inefficiency problem for visuomotor driving. Given the highly dynamic and variant nature of the input, the visuomotor driving task inherently lacks view and translation invariance, and the visual input contains massive irrelevant information for decision making, resulting in predominant pre-training approaches from general vision less suitable for the autonomous driving task. To this end, we propose PPGeo (Policy Pre-training via Geometric modeling), an intuitive and straightforward fully self-supervised framework curated for the policy pretraining in visuomotor driving. We aim at learning policy representations as a powerful abstraction by modeling 3D geometric scenes on large-scale unlabeled and uncalibrated YouTube driving videos. The proposed PPGeo is performed in two stages to support effective self-supervised training. In the first stage, the geometric modeling framework generates pose and depth predictions simultaneously, with two consecutive frames as input. In the second stage, the visual encoder learns driving policy representation by predicting the future ego-motion and optimizing with the photometric error based on current visual observation only. As such, the pre-trained visual encoder is equipped with rich driving policy related representations and thereby competent for multiple visuomotor driving tasks. Extensive experiments covering a wide span of challenging scenarios have demonstrated the superiority of our proposed approach, where improvements range from 2% to even over 100% with very limited data. Code and models will be available at https://github.com/OpenDriveLab/PPGeo.

This paper illustrates the technologies of user next intent prediction with a concept knowledge graph. The system has been deployed on the Web at Alipay, serving more than 100 million daily active users. Specifically, we propose AlipayKG to explicitly characterize user intent, which is an offline concept knowledge graph in the Life-Service domain modeling the historical behaviors of users, the rich content interacted by users and the relations between them. We further introduce a Transformer-based model which integrates expert rules from the knowledge graph to infer the online user's next intent. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed system can effectively enhance the performance of the downstream tasks while retaining explainability.

Human parsing aims to partition humans in image or video into multiple pixel-level semantic parts. In the last decade, it has gained significantly increased interest in the computer vision community and has been utilized in a broad range of practical applications, from security monitoring, to social media, to visual special effects, just to name a few. Although deep learning-based human parsing solutions have made remarkable achievements, many important concepts, existing challenges, and potential research directions are still confusing. In this survey, we comprehensively review three core sub-tasks: single human parsing, multiple human parsing, and video human parsing, by introducing their respective task settings, background concepts, relevant problems and applications, representative literature, and datasets. We also present quantitative performance comparisons of the reviewed methods on benchmark datasets. Additionally, to promote sustainable development of the community, we put forward a transformer-based human parsing framework, providing a high-performance baseline for follow-up research through universal, concise, and extensible solutions. Finally, we point out a set of under-investigated open issues in this field and suggest new directions for future study. We also provide a regularly updated project page, to continuously track recent developments in this fast-advancing field: https://github.com/soeaver/awesome-human-parsing.
