PixTrack: Precise 6DoF Object Pose Tracking using NeRF Templates and Feature-metric Alignment

We present PixTrack, a vision based object pose tracking framework using novel view synthesis and deep feature-metric alignment. We follow an SfM-based relocalization paradigm where we use a Neural Radiance Field to canonically represent the tracked object. Our evaluations demonstrate that our method produces highly accurate, robust, and jitter-free 6DoF pose estimates of objects in both monocular RGB images and RGB-D images without the need of any data annotation or trajectory smoothing. Our method is also computationally efficient making it easy to have multi-object tracking with no alteration to our algorithm through simple CPU multiprocessing. Our code is available at: https://github.com/GiantAI/pixtrack

Toward the Chiral Limit of QCD: Quenched and Dynamical Domain Wall Fermions

A serious difficulty in conventional lattice field theory calculations is the coupling between the chiral and continuum limits. With both staggered and Wilson fermions, the chiral limit cannot be realized without first taking the limit of vanishing lattice spacing. In this talk, we report on extensive studies of the domain wall formulation of lattice fermions, which avoids this difficulty at the expense of requiring that fermion propagators be computed in five dimensions. A variety of results will be described for quenched and dynamical simulations at both zero and finite temperature. Conclusions about the benefits of this new method and some new physical results will be presented. These results were obtained on the QCDSP machines recently put into operation at Columbia and the RIKEN Brookhaven Research Center.
