Underwater C3-JEPA: An Object-Centric Cross-View World Model for ROV Salvage
TLDR
Underwater C3-JEPA is a control-conditioned object-centric multi-view latent world model for ROV salvage, predicting task-object state for MPC and behavior-agent training.
评分理由
The paper's strengths include a novel object-centric cross-view predictive architecture and real-world validation, with low annotation cost via weak binding. Weaknesses are limited visibility into quantitative comparisons, baseline details, and the fact that the latent-state focus may not fully justify the 'world model' framing.

创新点
- Object-centric multi-view predictive world model (Underwater C3-JEPA) for near-field heavy-load underwater ROV salvage that predicts task-object state evolution in latent space without contact sensors.
- Cross-view, control-conditioned, context-extended architecture that encodes multi-camera observations into task-object and context tokens, fuses cross-camera evidence via held-out-view attention, and directly predicts future states conditioned on control.
- Weak binding mechanism to anchor target and gripper at low annotation cost.
- SIGReg to sharpen geometric representation.
- Predictive interface supporting model-predictive-control candidate evaluation and imagined-rollout behavior-agent training.
方法
The model encodes synchronized multi-view RGB observations and vehicle control signals into task-object and context tokens, fuses cross-camera evidence using held-out-view attention, and directly predicts future latent states conditioned on control. Weak binding anchors target and gripper at low annotation cost, while SIGReg sharpens geometric representations. Evaluation compares downstream probe transfer against a reconstruction-free latent baseline and validates on real underwater video using withheld-camera object-state recovery and persistence benchmarks.
关键结果
The learned representation transfers substantially more task-relevant information to downstream probes than a reconstruction-free latent baseline while keeping the predictor lightweight. Validation on real underwater video shows the same architecture recovers a withheld camera's object state and stays ahead of persistence, indicating the recipe transfers beyond simulation.
