📝 Abstract
Embodied visual perception relies on temporally coherent visual experience accumulated through continuous engagement with the environment. However, collecting large-scale egocentric binocular observations together with dense annotations remains costly and difficult. Moreover, visual experience is shaped not only by the environment but also by the embodiment of the observer, including viewing height, field of view, binocular geometry, and motion through the scene. To address these challenges, we present BinoGen, an automated framework for generating large-scale, embodiment-aware egocentric binocular visual experiences in indoor environments. BinoGen jointly models environmental and observer variation through generative scene synthesis, probabilistic object instantiation, appearance randomization, stochastic trajectory generation, and configurable binocular camera setups. The framework produces synchronized binocular videos together with dense multimodal supervision, including depth maps, optical flow, surface normals, semantic maps, object coordinates, and camera poses. Using BinoGen, we construct a dataset comprising more than 20 million annotated images for supervised learning. We demonstrate two complementary utilities of BinoGen. First, incorporating BinoGen data consistently improves real-world visual perception, including depth estimation, object detection, and video object tracking. Second, paired human-inspired and mouse-inspired observations from the same environments enable controlled investigation of how observer embodiment affects perceptual learning. Embodiment-specific adaptation substantially improves performance, while joint training enables a single model to perform competitively across both embodiments. Together, these results demonstrate that large-scale, controllable visual experience can improve embodied perception...
