Experiments with optical illusions have revealed surprising similarities between human and AI perception
Vision-language models (VLMs), capable of processing both images and text, have gained immense popularity due to their versatility in solving a wide range of tasks, from information retrieval in scanned documents to code generation from screenshots. However, the development of these powerful models has been hindered by a lack of understanding regarding the critical design choices that truly impact their performance. This knowledge gap makes it challenging for researchers to make meaningful progress in this field. To address this issue, a team of researchers from Hugging Face and Sorbonne Université conducted extensive experiments to unravel the factors that matter the

**Monocular Depth Estimation** is the task of estimating the depth value (distance relative to the camera) of each pixel given a single (monocular) RGB image. This challenging task is a key prerequisite for determining scene understanding for applications such as 3D scene reconstruction, autonomous driving, and AR. State-of-the-art methods usually fall into one of two categories: designing a complex network that is powerful enough to directly regress the depth map, or splitting the input into bins or windows to reduce computational complexity. The most popular benchmarks are the KITTI and NYUv2 datasets. Models are typically evaluated using RMSE or absolute relative error.

Developing large-scale datasets has been critical in computer vision and natural language processing. These datasets, rich in visual and textual information, are fundamental to developing algorithms capable of understanding and interpreting images. They serve as the backbone for enhancing machine learning models, particularly those tasked with deciphering the complex interplay between visual elements in images and their corresponding textual descriptions. A significant challenge in this field is the need for large-scale, accurately annotated datasets. These are essential for training models but are often not publicly accessible, limiting the scope of research and development. The ImageNet and OpenImages datasets, containing human-annotated

Large-scale pre-trained Vision and language models have demonstrated remarkable performance in numerous applications, allowing for the replacement of a fixed set of supported classes with zero-shot open vocabulary reasoning over (nearly arbitrary) natural language queries. However, recent research has revealed a fundamental flaw in these models. For instance, their inability to comprehend Visual Language Concepts (VLC) that extend 'beyond nouns,' such as the meaning of non-object words (e.g., attributes, actions, relations, states, etc.), or their difficulty with compositional reasoning, such as comprehending the significance of the word order in a sentence.

Numerous human-centric perception, comprehension, and creation tasks depend on whole-body pose estimation, including 3D whole-body mesh recovery, human-object interaction, and posture-conditioned human image and motion production. Furthermore, using user-friendly algorithms like OpenPose and MediaPipe, recording human postures for virtual content development and VR/AR has significantly increased in popularity. Although these tools are convenient, their performance still needs to improve, which limits their potential. Therefore, more developments in human pose assessment technologies are essential to realizing the promise of user-driven content production. Comparatively speaking, whole-body pose estimation presents more difficulties than human pose estimation with body-only key points detection due to

On the 91st Martian day, or sol, of NASA’s Mars 2020 Perseverance rover mission, the Ingenuity Mars Helicopter performed its sixth flight. The flight was designed to expand the flight envelope and demonstrate aerial-imaging capabilities by taking stereo images of a region of interest to the west. Ingenuity was commanded to climb to an altitude of 33 feet (10 meters) before translating 492 feet (150 meters) to the southwest at a ground speed of 9 mph (4 meters per second). At that point, it was to translate 49 feet (15 meters) to the south while taking images toward the west, then fly another 164 feet (50 meters) northeast and land.

**Object tracking** is the task of taking an initial set of object detections, creating a unique ID for each of the initial detections, and then tracking each of the objects as they move around frames in a video, maintaining the ID assignment. State-of-the-art methods involve fusing data from RGB and event-based cameras to produce more reliable object tracking. CNN-based models using only RGB images as input are also effective. The most popular benchmark is OTB. There are several evaluation metrics specific to object tracking, including HOTA, MOTA, IDF1, and Track-mAP.
