Generating human videos with realistic and controllable motions is a challenging task. While existing methods can generate visually compelling videos, they lack separate control over four key video elements: foreground subject, background video, human trajectory, and action patterns. In this paper, …
Transparent videos with alpha channels play a crucial role in film production, advertising, and augmented reality fields. However, there is currently no available method for producing transparent videos. Traditional methods are time-consuming and labor-intensive, and employing alternative approaches…
To capture individual gait patterns, excluding identity-irrelevant cues in walking videos, such as clothing texture and color, remains a persistent challenge for vision-based gait recognition. Traditional silhouette and pose-based methods, though theoretically effective at removing such distractions…
In recent years, diffusion models have revolutionized visual generation, outperforming traditional frameworks like Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs). However, generating images of humans with realistic semantic parts, such as hands and faces, remains a significant challenge due to their intric…
Existing score distillation methods are sensitive to classifier-free guidance (CFG) scale manifested as over-smoothness or instability at small CFG scales while over-saturation at large ones. To explain and analyze these issues we revisit the derivation of Score Distillation Sampling (SDS) and decip…
The research fields of parametric face model and 3D face reconstruction have been extensively studied. However, a critical question remains unanswered: how to tailor the face model for specific reconstruction settings. We argue that reconstruction with multi-view uncalibrated images demands a new mo…
Vision transformers (ViTs) have been an alternative design paradigm to convolutional neural networks (CNNs). However, the training of ViTs is much harder than CNNs, as it is sensitive to the training parameters, such as learning rate, optimizer and warmup epoch. The reasons for training difficulty a…
Convolution is one of the basic building blocks of CNN architectures. Despite its common use, standard convolution has two main shortcomings: Content-agnostic and Computation-heavy. Dynamic filters are content-adaptive, while further increasing the computational overhead. Depth-wise convolution is a…
