RegionAligner: Bridging Ego-Exo Views for Object Correspondence via Unified Text-Visual Learning

Matches the same object between first-person and third-person views: a VLM names the task-relevant objects to narrow the search region, and multi-level supervision aligns regions across views. Works in both supervised and unsupervised settings on Ego-Exo4D.

RegionAligner addresses the challenge of establishing object correspondence between egocentric (first-person) and exocentric (third-person) views by developing a unified text-visual learning framework.

Key Contributions

  • Vision-Language Model Integration: Leverages large VLMs to effectively filter visual distractors in multi-view scenarios
  • Region-Guided Supervision: Introduces novel region-guided supervision mechanism for improved correspondence learning
  • Unsupervised Extension: Provides an unsupervised learning approach for scenarios with limited labeled data

Results

Our method achieves significant improvements on the Ego-Exo4D benchmark:

  • 10.16% IoU improvement on ego-to-exo correspondence
  • 6.04% IoU improvement on exo-to-ego correspondence
