In controllable image synthesis, generating coherent and consistent images from multiple references with spatial layout awareness remains an open challenge. We propose LAMIC, a Layout-Aware Multi-Image Composition framework that, for the first time, extends single-reference diffusion models to multi
Low earth orbit (LEO) satellite communication system is vital due to its global coverage and low latency. To meet higher data rates, orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) technology is recommended for adoption. In this paper, we analyze the nonlinear behavior of high-power amplifier (HPA…
Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) excel at 2D visual understanding but remain limited in their ability to reason about 3D space. In this work, we leverage large-scale high-quality 3D scene data with open-set annotations to introduce 1) a novel supervised fine-tuning dataset and 2) a new evalu…
We revisit scene-level 3D object detection as the output of an object-centric framework capable of both localization and mapping using 3D oriented boxes as the underlying geometric primitive. While existing 3D object detection approaches operate globally and implicitly rely on the a priori existence…
To build photorealistic avatars that users can embody, human modelling must be complete (cover the full body), driveable (able to reproduce the current motion and appearance from the user), and generalizable (_i.e._, easily adaptable to novel identities). Towards these goals, _paired_ captures, that…
Large Language Models (LLM) have revolutionized Natural Language Processing (NLP), improving state-of-the-art and exhibiting emergent capabilities across various tasks. However, their application in extracting information from visually rich documents, which is at the core of many document processing…
Selected mapping (SLM) is an efficient peak-to-average-power-ratio (PAPR) reduction algorithm for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. Conventional SLM requires extra resources for side information transmission. If the side information is transmitted implicitly, significantly h…
High data throughput is desired in the wireless communication system design. Rate adaptation is an efficient way to update the data rate in the dynamic wireless environment. Conventional rate adaptation algorithms rely on the feedback of acknowledgment/negative acknowledgment (ACK/NACK) messages or…
Fog computing is emerging as a promising paradigm to perform distributed, low-latency computation. Efficient computation peer offloading is critical to fully utilize the computational resources in fog networks. In this paper, we consider computation peer offloading problem in a fog network with time…
In wireless sensor networks (WSN s), energy is always precious for sensor nodes. To save energy, censoring is introduced to cut the total number of transmission by only transmitting informative data. This algorithm, however, ignores the energy consumption during the delivery of parameters, which can…
Object detection in videos has drawn increasing attention recently with the introduction of the large-scale ImageNet VID dataset. Different from object detection in static images, temporal information in videos is vital for object detection. To fully utilize temporal information, state-of-the-art me…
Light field cameras have been recently shown to be very effective in applications such as multifocusing and 3D reconstruction. These cameras can provide depth cues from both defocus and correspondence in a single snapshot. In this paper, we present a fast response aggregation framework for depth est…
Deep Convolution Neural Networks (CNNs) have shown impressive performance in various vision tasks such as image classification, object detection and semantic segmentation. For object detection, particularly in still images, the performance has been significantly increased last year thanks to powerfu…
Learning and capturing both appearance and dynamic representations are pivotal for crowd video understanding. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have shown its remarkable potential in learning appearance representations from images. However, the learning of dynamic representation, and how it can b…
Crowded scene understanding is a fundamental problem in computer vision. In this study, we develop a multi-task deep model to jointly learn and combine appearance and motion features for crowd understanding. We propose crowd motion channels as the input of the deep model and the channel design is in…
