Realistic and efficient 3D garment generation remains a longstanding challenge in computer vision and digital fashion. Existing methods typically rely on large vision- language models to produce serialized representations of 2D sewing patterns, which are then transformed into simulation-ready 3D mes
Diffusion models have shown great promise in synthesizing visually appealing images. However, it remains challenging to condition the synthesis at a fine-grained level, for instance, synthesizing image pixels following some generic color pattern. Existing image synthesis methods often produce conten…
We investigate coral reef semantic segmentation, in which coral reefs are governed by multifaceted factors, like genes, environmental changes, and internal interactions. Unlike segmenting structural units/instances, which are predictable and follow a set pattern, also referred to as commonsense or p…
We propose SharpDepth, a novel approach to monocular metric depth estimation that combines the metric accuracy of discriminative depth estimation methods (e.g., Metric3D, UniDepth) with the fine-grained boundary sharpness typically achieved by generative methods (e.g., Marigold, Lotus). Traditional…
Underwater visual understanding has recently gained increasing attention within the computer vision community for studying and monitoring underwater ecosystems. Among these coral reefs play an important and intricate role often referred to as the rainforests of the sea due to their rich biodiversity…
Neural radiance field (NeRF) is an emerging technique for 3D scene reconstruction and modeling. However current NeRF-based methods are limited in the capabilities of adding or removing objects. This paper fills the aforementioned gap by proposing a new language-driven method for object manipulation…
"Recent foundation models trained on a tremendous scale of data have shown great promise in a wide range of computer vision tasks and application domains. However, less attention has been paid to the marine realms, which in contrast cover the majority of our blue planet. The scarcity of labeled data…
In autonomous driving, performing robust semantic segmentation under adverse weather conditions is a long-standing challenge. Imperfect camera observations under adverse conditions result in images with reduced visibility, which hinders label annotation and semantic scene understanding based on thes…
In this paper, we address the problem of conditional scene decoration for 360deg images. Our method takes a 360deg background photograph of an indoor scene and generates decorated images of the same scene in the panorama view. To do this, we develop a 360-aware object layout generator that learns la…
Addressing domain shifts for complex perception tasks in autonomous driving has long been a challenging problem. In this paper, we show that existing domain adaptation methods pay little attention to the content mismatch issue between source and target domains, thus weakening the domain adaptation p…
Instance segmentation on 3D point clouds (3DIS) is a longstanding challenge in computer vision, where state-of-the-art methods are mainly based on full supervision. As annotating ground truth dense instance masks is tedious and expensive, solving 3DIS with weak supervision has become more practical.…
Existing 3D instance segmentation methods are predominated by the bottom-up design -- manually fine-tuned algorithm to group points into clusters followed by a refinement network. However, by relying on the quality of the clusters, these methods generate susceptible results when (1) nearby objects w…
In recent years, there has been increasing interest in applying stylization on 3D scenes from a reference style image, in particular onto neural radiance fields (NeRF). While performing stylization directly on NeRF guarantees appearance consistency over arbitrary novel views, it is a challenging pro…
Real-world image manipulation has achieved fantastic progress in recent years as a result of the exploration and utilization of GAN latent spaces. GAN inversion is the first step in this pipeline, which aims to map the real image to the latent code faithfully. Unfortunately, the majority of existing…
"We present a novel method for few-shot video classification, which performs appearance and temporal alignments. In particular, given a pair of query and support videos, we conduct appearance alignment via frame-level feature matching to achieve the appearance similarity score between the videos, wh…
"Furnishing and rendering indoor scenes has been a long-standing task for interior design, where artists create a conceptual design for the space, build a 3D model of the space, decorate, and then perform rendering. Although the task is important, it is tedious and requires tremendous effort. In thi…
"Object reconstruction from 3D point clouds has achieved impressive progress in the computer vision and computer graphics research field. However, reconstruction from time-varying point clouds (a.k.a. 4D point clouds) is generally overlooked. In this paper, we propose a new network architecture, nam…
"In this paper, we conduct a study on the state-of-the-art methods for text-to-image synthesis and propose a framework to evaluate these methods. We consider syntheses where an image contains a single or multiple objects. Our study outlines several issues in the current evaluation pipeline: (i) for…
With recent developments of convolutional neural networks, deep learning for 3D point clouds has shown significant progress in various 3D scene understanding tasks, e.g., object recognition, object detection.

Network pruning is an effective method to reduce the computational expense of over-parameterized neural networks for deployment on low-resource systems. Recent state-of-the-art techniques for retraining pruned networks such as weight rewinding and learning rate rewinding have been shown to outperfor…
In this work, we propose to use out-of-distribution samples, i.e., unlabeled samples coming from outside the target classes, to improve few-shot learning. Specifically, we exploit the easily available out-of-distribution samples to drive the classifier to avoid irrelevant features by maximizing the…
Learning an effective representation of 3D point clouds requires a good metric to measure the discrepancy between two 3D point sets, which is non-trivial due to their irregularity. Most of the previous works resort to using the Chamfer discrepancy or Earth Mover's distance, but those metrics are eit…
Deep learning techniques have become the to-go models for most vision-related tasks on 2D images.
