3D anime character generation has become increasingly important in digital entertainment, including animation production, virtual reality, gaming, and virtual influencers. Unlike realistic human modeling, anime-style characters require exaggerated proportions, stylized surface details, and artistica…
Prevailing 3D texture generation methods, which often rely on multi-view fusion, are frequently hindered by inter-view inconsistencies and incomplete coverage of complex surfaces, limiting the fidelity and completeness of the generated content. To overcome these challenges, we introduce TEXTRIX, a n
Generating high-resolution 3D shapes using volumetric representations such as Signed Distance Functions (SDFs) presents substantial computational and memory challenges. We introduce Direct3D-S2, a scalable 3D generation framework based on sparse volumes that achieves superior output quality with dra…
Current state-of-the-art text-to-3D generation methods struggle to produce 3D models with fine details and delicate structures due to limitations in differentiable mesh representation techniques. This limitation is particularly pronounced in anime character generation, where intricate features such…
Depth Anything has achieved remarkable success in monocular depth estimation with strong generalization ability. However, it suffers from temporal inconsistency in videos, hindering its practical applications. Various methods have been proposed to alleviate this issue by leveraging video generation…
Generating high-quality 3D assets from text and images has long been challenging, primarily due to the absence of scalable 3D representations capable of capturing intricate geometry distributions. In this work, we introduce Direct3D, a native 3D generative model scalable to in-the-wild input images,…
In this paper, we introduce **Era3D**, a novel multiview diffusion method that generates high-resolution multiview images from a single-view image. Despite significant advancements in multiview generation, existing methods still suffer from camera prior mismatch, inefficacy, and low resolution, resu…
Labelling LiDAR point clouds for training autonomous driving is extremely expensive and difficult. LiDAR simulation aims at generating realistic LiDAR data with labels for training and verifying self-driving algorithms more efficiently. Recently, Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) have been proposed for…
Neural Radiance Fields (NeRFs) aim to synthesize novel views of objects and scenes, given the object-centric camera views with large overlaps. However, we conjugate that this paradigm does not fit the nature of the street views that are collected by many self-driving cars from the large-scale unboun…
We present an approach to contrastive representation learning for semantic segmentation. Our approach leverages the representational power of existing feature extractors to find corresponding regions across images. These cross-image correspondences are used as auxiliary labels to guide the pixel-lev…
Full-motion cost volumes play a central role in current state-of-the-art optical flow methods. However, constructed using simple feature correlations, they lack the ability to encapsulate prior, or even non-local, knowledge. This creates artifacts in poorly constrained, ambiguous regions, such as oc…
In Autonomous Driving (AD), detection and tracking of obstacles on the roads is a critical task. Deep-learning based methods using annotated LiDAR data have been the most widely adopted approach for this. Unfortunately, annotating 3D point cloud is a very challenging, time- and money-consuming task.
State-of-the-art stereo matching networks have difficulties in generalizing to new unseen environments due to significant domain differences, such as color, illumination, contrast, and texture. In this paper, we aim at designing a domain-invariant stereo matching network (DSMNet) that generalizes we…
We propose a robust baseline method for instance segmentation which are specially designed for large-scale outdoor LiDAR point clouds. Our method includes a novel dense feature encoding technique, allowing the localization and segmentation of small, far-away objects, a simple but effective solution…
In the stereo matching task, matching cost aggregation is crucial in both traditional methods and deep neural network models in order to accurately estimate disparities. We propose two novel neural net layers, aimed at capturing local and the whole-image cost dependencies respectively. The first is…
Data diversity in terms of types, styles, as well as radiometric, exposure and texture conditions widely exists in training and test data of vision applications. However, learning in traditional neural networks (NNs) only tries to find a model with fixed parameters that optimize the average behavior…
This paper presents a linear time fully connected guided filter by introducing the minimum spanning tree (MST) to the guided filter (GF). Since the intensity based filtering kernel of GF is apt to overly smooth edges and the fixed-shape local box support region adopted by GF is not geometric-adaptiv…
In this paper, we design a new edge-aware structure, named segment graph, to represent the image and we further develop a novel double weighted average image filter (SGF) based on the segment graph. In our SGF, we use the tree distance on the segment graph to define the internal weight function of t…
