ASIC: Aligning Sparse in-the-wild Image Collections

The above is also true for an image of a works assume either ground-truth keypoint annotations or "never-before-seen" object (as opposed to a common object a large dataset of images of a single object category. However, category such as cars) where humans demonstrate surprisingly neither of the above assumptions hold true for the longtail robust generalization despite lacking an object or category of the objects present in the world. We present a selfsupervised specific priors [6]. These correspondences in turn inform technique that directly optimizes on a sparse collection downstream inferences about the object such as shape, of images of a particular object/object category to affordances, and more. In this work, we tackle this problem obtain consistent dense correspondences across the collection. of "low-shot dense correspondence" - i.e. given only a small We use pairwise nearest neighbors obtained from deep in-the-wild image collection ( 10-30 images) of an object features of a pre-trained vision transformer (ViT) model as or object category, we recover dense and consistent correspondences noisy and sparse keypoint matches and make them dense across the entire collection.
