ID-VTG: Image-Disambiguated Video Temporal Grounding

Video Temporal Grounding (VTG) faces significant challenges when natural language queries must distinguish between multiple events involving visually similar entities, particularly when relying on fine-grained visual attributes that are difficult to describe accurately in words alone. To address this, we introduce Image-Disambiguated Video Temporal Grounding (ID-VTG), a task that leverages multimodal queries combining a reference image and a text description to precisely localize segments where a specific instance performs a described action. To facilitate research, we construct two benchmarks: IDVTG-Gym, focusing on fine-grained, compositionally ordered gymnastics actions with athletes in similar uniforms; and IDVTG-InternVid, an open-world dataset featuring diverse entities (e.g., humans, animals, fictional characters) and significant temporal distractors. Methodologically, we propose the Visually-Guided Disambiguation Aggregation (VGD-Agg) framework based on a dual-branch fast-slow architecture. The fast branch efficiently generates preliminary event proposals, while the slow branch performs fine-grained frame-level matching between video frames and the reference image. We enhance discriminability via two learnable tokens: a Compare Token, which represents hard negatives to probe for the presence of the target instance (as referred to by the query image), and a Depress Value, which represents text-irrelevant events. Proposals that the Compare Token identifies as lacking the target instance are pushed toward the Depress Value, thus easing disambiguation via the text query. Extensive experiments validate our approach, which achieves state-of-the-art results on the proposed benchmarks. Code is available at https://github.com/oceanflowlab/ID-VTG.

RwoR: Generating Robot Demonstrations from Human Hand Collection for Policy Learning without Robot

Recent advancements in imitation learning have shown promising results in robotic manipulation, driven by the availability of high-quality training data. To improve data collection efficiency, some approaches focus on developing specialized teleoperation devices for robot control, while others directly use human hand demonstrations to obtain training data. However, the former requires both a robotic system and a skilled operator, limiting scalability, while the latter faces challenges in aligning the visual gap between human hand demonstrations and the deployed robot observations. To address this, we propose a human hand data collection system combined with our hand-to-gripper generative model, which translates human hand demonstrations into robot gripper demonstrations, effectively bridging the observation gap. Specifically, a GoPro fisheye camera is mounted on the human wrist to capture human hand demonstrations. We then train a generative model on a self-collected dataset of paired human hand and UMI gripper demonstrations, which have been processed using a tailored data pre-processing strategy to ensure alignment in both timestamps and observations. Therefore, given only human hand demonstrations, we are able to automatically extract the corresponding SE(3) actions and integrate them with high-quality generated robot demonstrations through our generation pipeline for training robotic policy model. In experiments, the robust manipulation performance demonstrates not only the quality of the generated robot demonstrations but also the efficiency and practicality of our data collection method.
