FDS: Frequency-Aware Denoising Score for Text-Guided Latent Diffusion Image Editing

Text-guided image editing using Text-to-Image (T2I) models often fails to yield satisfactory results, frequently introducing unintended modifications, such as the loss of local detail and color changes. In this paper, we analyze these failure cases and att ...

VolRecon: Volume Rendering of Signed Ray Distance Functions for Generalizable Multi-View Reconstruction

Sabine Süsstrunk, Yufan Ren, Tong Zhang

The success of the Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) in novel view synthesis has inspired researchers to propose neural implicit scene reconstruction. However, most existing neural implicit reconstruction methods optimize perscene parameters and therefore lack ...

Mitigating Object Dependencies: Improving Point Cloud Self-Supervised Learning through Object Exchange

Sabine Süsstrunk, Mathieu Salzmann, Tong Zhang, Yi Wu

In the realm of point cloud scene understanding, particularly in indoor scenes, objects are arranged following human habits, resulting in objects of certain semantics being closely positioned and displaying notable inter-object correlations. This can creat ...

InNeRF360: Text-Guided 3D-Consistent Object Inpainting on 360° Neural Radiance Fields

Sabine Süsstrunk, Dongqing Wang, Tong Zhang

We propose InNeRF360, an automatic system that accurately removes text-specified objects from 360 • Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF). The challenge is to effectively remove objects while inpainting perceptually consistent content for the missing regions, whic ...

Deep Non-Rigid Structure-From-Motion: A Sequence-to-Sequence Translation Perspective

Tong Zhang

Directly regressing the non-rigid shape and camera pose from the individual 2D frame is ill-suited to the Non-Rigid Structure-from-Motion (NRSfM) problem. This frame-by-frame 3D reconstruction pipeline overlooks the inherent spatial-temporal nature of NRSf ...

Boosting Semi-supervised Crowd Counting with Scale-based Active Learning

Tong Zhang

The core of active semi-supervised crowd counting is the sample selection criteria. However, the scale factor has been neglected in active learning approaches despite the fact that the scale of heads varies drastically in the crowd images. In this paper, w ...

AdaNCA: Neural Cellular Automata as Adaptors for More Robust Vision Transformer

Sabine Süsstrunk, Yitao Xu, Tong Zhang

Vision Transformers (ViTs) demonstrate remarkable performance in image classification through visual-token interaction learning, particularly when equipped with local information via region attention or convolutions. Although such architectures improve the ...

Mesh Neural Cellular Automata

Sabine Süsstrunk, Ehsan Pajouheshgar, Yitao Xu, Tong Zhang

Texture modeling and synthesis are essential for enhancing the realism of virtual environments. Methods that directly synthesize textures in 3D offer distinct advantages to the UV-mapping-based methods as they can create seamless textures and align more cl ...

TempSAL - Uncovering Temporal Information for Deep Saliency Prediction

Sabine Süsstrunk, Mathieu Salzmann, Tong Zhang, Bahar Aydemir

Deep saliency prediction algorithms complement the object recognition features, they typically rely on additional information such as scene context, semantic relationships, gaze direction, and object dissimilarity. However, none of these models consider th ...

Spatiotemporal Self-supervised Learning for Point Clouds in the Wild

Sabine Süsstrunk, Mathieu Salzmann, Tong Zhang

Self-supervised learning (SSL) has the potential to ben- efit many applications, particularly those where manually annotating data is cumbersome. One such situation is the semantic segmentation of point clouds. In this context, ex- isting methods employ co ...
