Building Category Graphs Representation with Spatial and Temporal Attention for Visual Navigation

Given an object of interest, visual navigation aims to reach the object's location based on a sequence of partial observations. To this end, an agent needs to 1) learn a piece of certain knowledge about the relations of object categories in the world during training and 2) look for the target object based on the pre-learned object category relations and its moving trajectory in the current unseen environment. In this paper, we propose a Category Relation Graph (CRG) to learn the knowledge of object category layout relations and a Temporal-Spatial-Region (TSR) attention architecture to perceive the long-term spatial-temporal dependencies of objects helping the navigation. We learn prior knowledge of object layout, establishing a category relationship graph to deduce the positions of specific objects. Subsequently, we introduced TSR to capture the relationships of objects in temporal, spatial, and regions within the observation trajectories. Specifically, we propose a Temporal attention module (T) to model the temporal structure of the observation sequence, which implicitly encodes the historical moving or trajectory information. Then, a Spatial attention module (S) is used to uncover the spatial context of the current observation objects based on the category relation graph and past observations. Last, a Region attention module (R) shifts the attention to the target-relevant region. Based on the visual representation extracted by our method, the agent can better perceive the environment and easily learn superior navigation policy. Experiments on AI2-THOR demonstrate our CRG-TSR method significantly outperforms existing methods regarding both effectiveness and efficiency. The code has been included in the supplementary material and will be publicly available.
