Accurately modeling how real-world materials reflect light remains a core challenge in inverse rendering, largely due to the scarcity of real measured reflectance data. Existing approaches rely heavily on synthetic datasets with simplified illumination and limited material realism, preventing models
Recent progress in 3D reconstruction has enabled realistic 3D models from dense image captures, yet challenges persist with sparse views, often leading to artifacts in unseen areas. Recent works leverage Video Diffusion Models (VDMs) to generate dense observations, filling the gaps when only sparse…
As a core step in structure-from-motion and SLAM, robust feature detection and description under challenging scenarios such as significant viewpoint changes remain unresolved despite their ubiquity. While recent works have identified the importance of local features in modeling geometric transformat…
We present a method for large-mask pluralistic image inpainting based on the generative framework of discrete latent codes. Our method learns latent priors discretized as tokens by only performing computations at the visible locations of the image. This is realized by a restrictive partial encoder t…
Synthesis of ergodic, stationary visual patterns is widely applicable in texturing, shape modeling, and digital content creation. The wide applicability of this technique thus requires the pattern synthesis approaches to be scalable, diverse, and authentic. In this paper, we propose an exemplar-base…
Features that are equivariant to a larger group of symmetries have been shown to be more discriminative and powerful in recent studies. However, higher-order equivariant features often come with an exponentially-growing computational cost. Furthermore, it remains relatively less explored how rotatio…
