One-step Diffusion with Distribution Matching Distillation

CVPR 2024poster

Diffusion models generate high-quality images but require dozens of forward passes. We introduce Distribution Matching Distillation (DMD) a procedure to transform a diffusion model into a one-step image generator with minimal impact on image quality. We enforce the one-step image generator match the…

Learning To Generate Line Drawings That Convey Geometry and Semantics

CVPR 2022poster

This paper presents an unpaired method for creating line drawings from photographs. Current methods often rely on high quality paired datasets to generate line drawings. However, these datasets often have limitations due to the subjects of the drawings belonging to a specific domain, or in the amoun…

What You Can Learn by Staring at a Blank Wall

ICCV 2021poster

We present a passive non-line-of-sight method that infers the number of people or activity of a person from the observation of a blank wall in an unknown room. Our technique analyzes complex imperceptible changes in indirect illumination in a video of the wall to reveal a signal that is correlated w…

Inferring Light Fields From Shadows

CVPR 2018poster

We present a method for inferring a 4D light field of a hidden scene from 2D shadows cast by a known occluder on a diffuse wall. We do this by determining how light naturally reflected off surfaces in the hidden scene interacts with the occluder. By modeling the light transport as a linear system, a…

On the Importance of Label Quality for Semantic Segmentation

CVPR 2018poster

Convolutional networks (ConvNets) have become the dominant approach to semantic image segmentation. Producing accurate, pixel--level labels required for this task is a tedious and time consuming process; however, producing approximate, coarse labels could take only a fraction of the time and effort.…

Synthesizing Images of Humans in Unseen Poses

CVPR 2018poster

We address the computational problem of novel human pose synthesis. Given an image of a person and a desired pose, we produce a depiction of that person in that pose, retaining the appearance of both the person and background. We present a modular generative neural network that synthesizes unseen po…
