In image enhancement tasks, such as low-light and underwater image enhancement, a degraded image can correspond to multiple plausible target images due to dynamic photography conditions. This naturally results in a one-to-many mapping problem. To address this, we propose a Bayesian Enhancement Model
Video instance segmentation (VIS) for low-light content remains highly challenging for both humans and machines alike, due to noise, blur and other adverse conditions. The lack of large-scale annotated datasets and the limitations of current synthetic pipelines, particularly in modeling temporal deg
Recent significant advances in 3D scene representation have been driven by 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS), which has enabled real-time rendering with photorealistic quality. 3DGS often requires a large number of primitives to achieve high fidelity, leading to redundant representations and high resourc
Online video super-resolution (VSR) is an important technique for many real-world video processing applications, which aims to restore the current high-resolution video frame based on temporally previous frames. Most of the existing online VSR methods solely employ one neighboring previous frame to…
Blind video super-resolution (BVSR) is a low-level vision task which aims to generate high-resolution videos from low-resolution counterparts in unknown degradation scenarios. Existing approaches typically predict blur kernels that are spatially invariant in each video frame or even the entire video…
While video compression based on implicit neural representations (INRs) has recently demonstrated great potential, existing INR-based video codecs still cannot achieve state-of-the-art (SOTA) performance compared to their conventional or autoencoder-based counterparts given the same coding configura…
Recent advances in implicit neural representations (INRs) have shown significant promise in modeling visual signals for various low-vision tasks including image super-resolution (ISR). INR-based ISR methods typically learn continuous representations, providing flexibility for generating high-resolut…
Instance segmentation for low-light imagery remains largely unexplored due to the challenges imposed by such conditions, for example shot noise due to low photon count, color distortions and reduced contrast. In this paper, we propose an end-to-end solution to address this challenging task. Our prop…
Neural video compression has recently demonstrated significant potential to compete with conventional video codecs in terms of rate-quality performance. These learned video codecs are however associated with various issues related to decoding complexity (for autoencoder-based methods) and/or system…
Existing works on video frame interpolation (VFI) mostly employ deep neural networks that are trained by minimizing the L1, L2, or deep feature space distance (e.g. VGG loss) between their outputs and ground-truth frames. However, recent works have shown that these metrics are poor indicators of per…
"Knowledge distillation (KD) has emerged as a promising technique in deep learning, typically employed to enhance a compact student network through learning from their high-performance but more complex teacher variant. When applied in the context of image super-resolution, most KD approaches are mod…
Recent advances in implicit neural representation (INR)-based video coding have demonstrated its potential to compete with both conventional and other learning- based approaches. With INR methods, a neural network is trained to overfit a video sequence, with its parameters compressed to obtain a com…
Learning-based video compression is currently a popular research topic, offering the potential to compete with conventional standard video codecs. In this context, Implicit Neural Representations (INRs) have previously been used to represent and compress image and video content, demonstrating relati…
Video frame interpolation (VFI) is currently a very active research topic, with applications spanning computer vision, post production and video encoding. VFI can be extremely challenging, particularly in sequences containing large motions, occlusions or dynamic textures, where existing approaches f…
