INSAIT research has been selected as a Highlight Paper at the October 19-23 International Conference on Computer Vision (ICCV 2025), one of the most prestigious conferences in artificial intelligence and computer vision, the St Kliment Ohridski University of Sofia said.

ObjectRelator, research developed at the Institute for Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence and Technology (INSAIT) of Sofia University, is a result of international collaboration with researchers from ETH Zurich, Fudan University in Yangpu, Shanghai, and the global technology company Ant Group, which serves over 1.3 billion users and 80 million merchants worldwide.

ObjectRelator is a significant advance in developing AI systems capable of "seeing" the world in a human-like manner. The model can consistently understand objects across different perspectives - from what the human eye perceives (egocentric view) to what is captured by an external camera (exocentric view).

While humans naturally perceive and interpret objects across viewpoints, this remains a challenge for current AI systems. Most state-of-the-art vision models, such as SAM and SAM2, can only segment objects from a single image. ObjectRelator overcomes this limitation, enabling new applications in robotics, virtual and augmented reality, and intelligent agents capable of transferring knowledge seamlessly across viewpoints, said Sofia University.
