For instance, a single traffic camera captures half a million frames every day or a commuter bus acting as a city sensor...
Fu_Tell_Me_What_Happened_Unifying_Text-Guided_Video_Completion_via_Multimodal_CVPR_2023
Abstract Generating a video given the first several static frames is challenging as it anticipates reasonable future frames with temporal coherence. Besides video prediction, the ability to rewind from the last frame or infilling between the head and tail is also crucial, but they have rarely been explored for video co...
1. Introduction Generative video modeling [15, 70, 84] has made great progress, which first succeeds in unconditional video gen-eration [40,64]. More recently, video prediction [28,36,47] has been trying the controllable setting, which anticipates the future by completing a video from the past frames or a static starti...
Huang_Neural_Kernel_Surface_Reconstruction_CVPR_2023
Abstract We present a novel method for reconstructing a 3D im-plicit surface from a large-scale, sparse, and noisy point cloud. Our approach builds upon the recently introduced Neural Kernel Fields (NKF) [ 58] representation. It enjoys similar generalization capabilities to NKF , while simulta-neously addressing its ma...
1. Introduction The goal of 3D reconstruction is to recover geometry from partial measurements of a shape. In this work, we aimto map a sparse set of oriented points sampled from the sur-face of a shape to a 3D implicit field. This is a challenging inverse problem since point clouds acquired from real-world sensors are ...
Guillaro_TruFor_Leveraging_All-Round_Clues_for_Trustworthy_Image_Forgery_Detection_and_CVPR_2023
Abstract In this paper we present TruFor, a forensic framework that can be applied to a large variety of image manipula-tion methods, from classic cheapfakes to more recent ma-nipulations based on deep learning. We rely on the ex-traction of both high-level and low-level traces through a transformer-based fusion archit...
1. Introduction Manipulating images has never been easier, with new powerful editing tools appearing by the day. These new opportunities stimulate the creativity of benign and mali-cious users alike. Previously, crafting a multimedia disin-formation campaign required sophisticated skills, and at-tackers could do little...
Chen_Train-Once-for-All_Personalization_CVPR_2023
Abstract We study the problem of how to train a “personalization-friendly” model such that given only the task descriptions, the model can be adapted to different end-users’ needs, e.g., for accurately classifying different subsets of objects. One baseline approach is to train a “generic” model for classi-fying a wide ...
1. Introduction Recent years have witnessed multiple breakthroughs in visual recognition [10, 17, 23, 25, 36], thanks to the advance in deep learning and the accessibility to large datasets. Specifically, existing works have shown the possibility to train a gigantic and versatile “generic” model capable of classifying ...
Jayasundara_FlexNeRF_Photorealistic_Free-Viewpoint_Rendering_of_Moving_Humans_From_Sparse_Views_CVPR_2023
Abstract We present FlexNeRF , a method for photorealistic free-viewpoint rendering of humans in motion from monocular videos. Our approach works well with sparse views, which is a challenging scenario when the subject is exhibiting fast/complex motions. We propose a novel approach which jointly optimizes a canonical t...
1. Introduction Free-viewpoint rendering of a scene is an important problem often attempted under constrained settings: on subjects demonstrating simple motion carefully captured with multiple cameras [17, 19, 20]. However, photoreal-istic free-viewpoint rendering of moving humans captured from a monocular video still ...
Abousamra_Topology-Guided_Multi-Class_Cell_Context_Generation_for_Digital_Pathology_CVPR_2023
Abstract In digital pathology, the spatial context of cells is impor-tant for cell classification, cancer diagnosis and prognosis. To model such complex cell context, however, is challeng-ing. Cells form different mixtures, lineages, clusters and holes. To model such structural patterns in a learnable fashion, we intro...
1. Introduction Deep learning has advanced our learning ability in digital pathology. Deep-learning-based methods have achieved im-pressive performance in various tasks including but not lim-ited to: cell detection and classification [2,23,24,52], nuclei instance segmentation [8, 18, 19, 21, 26, 32–34, 42, 51], sur-viv...
Fang_DepGraph_Towards_Any_Structural_Pruning_CVPR_2023
Abstract Structural pruning enables model acceleration by re-moving structurally-grouped parameters from neural net-works. However, the parameter-grouping patterns vary widely across different models, making architecture-specific pruners, which rely on manually-designed grouping schemes, non-generalizable to new archit...
1. Introduction The recent emergence of edge computing applications calls for the necessity for deep neural compression [16, 22, 25,33,34,61,65–67,69,75]. Among the many network com-pression paradigms, pruning has proven itself to be highly effective and practical [7, 11, 30, 31, 44, 58, 59, 74]. The goal of network pr...
Guo_Vid2Avatar_3D_Avatar_Reconstruction_From_Videos_in_the_Wild_via_CVPR_2023
Abstract We present Vid2Avatar, a method to learn human avatars from monocular in-the-wild videos. Reconstructing humans that move naturally from monocular in-the-wild videos is difficult. Solving it requires accurately separating humans from arbitrary backgrounds. Moreover, it requires recon-structing detailed 3D surf...

Method We introduce Vid2Avatar, a method for detailed geome-try and appearance reconstruction of implicit neural avatars from monocular videos in the wild. Our method is schemat-ically illustrated in Fig. 2...
