WiFlow: Estimating Optical Flow using WiFi Channel State Information

Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →

WiFlow introduces a method for estimating optical flow using WiFi channel state information (CSI) instead of camera frames, addressing privacy and lighting issues. The paper presents a CSI-based flow estimator, a preprocessor evaluation, and three model architectures balancing accuracy and complexity. Additionally, it provides the first dataset for training and evaluating CSI-based optical flow estimators, with experiments offering insights into key design elements.

FlowWAM: Optical Flow as a Unified Action Representation for World Action Models

World Action Models (WAMs) are able to leverage pretrained video generators for both world modeling and action prediction. However, directly leveraging such video generators for control raises a new challenge: how to represent actions in a suitable form that aligns with pretrained video generators while carrying enough motion cues for accurate control.

FreeFlow: A Bias-free Hierarchical Transformer for Optical Flow Estimation

FreeFlow is a hierarchical transformer for optical flow estimation that eliminates traditional flow-specific inductive biases such as correlation volumes and feature warping. It relies on a single feed-forward encoder–decoder architecture that incorporates window attention, shifted-window attention, and reduced-resolution global attention. This design allows the model to scale with capacity while achieving state‑of‑the‑art accuracy on Sintel, KITTI‑2015, and Spring benchmarks, all while remaining memory efficient at 1080p inference.
