Bi-directional Autoregressive Diffusion for Large Complex Motion Interpolation

CVPR 2026

Despite recent progress, diffusion-based video frame interpolation methods still struggle with large, complex motions, resulting in discontinuous motions and inconsistent object appearances across frames. We observe that these limitations arise from both the current full-sequence interpolation strat

Group Critical-token Policy Optimization for Autoregressive Image Generation

ICLR 2026poster

Recent studies have extended Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) to autoregressive (AR) visual generation and achieved promising progress. However, existing methods typically apply uniform optimization across all image tokens, while the varying contributions of different image toke…

InstantRetouch: Efficient and High-Fidelity Instruction-Guided Image Retouching with Bilateral Space

CVPR 2026

Language-guided photo retouching aims to adjust color and tone while preserving geometry and texture. Recently, diffusion-based retouching shows a superior visual quality, but often struggles with both fidelity issues due to its generative nature and efficiency because of its iterative sampling proc

PhotoAgent: Exploratory Visual Aesthetic Planning with Large Vision Models

ICML 2026oral

With the recent fast development of generative models, instruction-based image editing has shown great potential in generating high-quality images. However, the quality of editing highly depends on carefully designed instructions, placing the burden of task decomposition and sequencing entirely on t…

Realtime Video Frame Interpolation using One-Step Diffusion Sampling

ICLR 2026poster

Recent research on video Frame Interpolation (VFI) shows that a pretrained Video Diffusion Model (VDM) can solve many challenging scenarios, including large or complex motion. However, VDMs require tedious diffusion sampling, making the inference slow. One possible way to accelerate is to distill a…

HDR Image Generation via Gain Map Decomposed Diffusion

ICCV 2025poster

While diffusion models have demonstrated significant success in standard dynamic range (SDR) image synthesis, generating high dynamic range (HDR) images with higher luminance and broader color gamuts remains challenging. This arises primarily from two factors: (1) The incompatibility between pretrai…

NopeRoomGS: Indoor 3D Gaussian Splatting Optimization without Camera Pose Input

NeurIPS 2025poster

Recent advances in 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) have enabled real-time, high-fidelity view synthesis, but remain critically dependent on camera poses estimated by Structure-from-Motion (SfM), which is notoriously unreliable in textureless indoor environments. To eliminate this dependency, recent pos…

PolarFree: Polarization-based Reflection-Free Imaging

CVPR 2025poster

Reflection removal is challenging due to complex light interactions, where reflections obscure important details and hinder scene understanding. Polarization naturally provides a powerful cue to distinguish between reflected and transmitted light, enabling more accurate reflection removal. However,…

Unsupervised Diffusion-Based Degradation Modeling for Real-World Super-Resolution

AAAI 2025technical

Single image super-solution (SR) aims to restore a high-resolution (HR) image from a degraded low-resolution (LR) image. However, existing SR models still face a significant domain gap between synthetic and real-world datasets due to the mismatched degradation distributions, hindering SR models from…

High-Resolution and Few-shot View Synthesis from Asymmetric Dual-lens Inputs

ECCV 2024poster

"Novel view synthesis has achieved remarkable quality and efficiency by the paradigm of 3D Gaussian Splatting (3D-GS), but still faces two challenges: 1) significant performance degradation when trained with only few-shot samples due to a lack of geometry constraint, and 2) incapability of rendering…

Generalized Lightness Adaptation with Channel Selective Normalization

ICCV 2023poster

Lightness adaptation is vital to the success of image processing to avoid unexpected visual deterioration, which covers multiple aspects, e.g., low-light image enhancement, image retouching, and inverse tone mapping. Existing methods typically work well on their trained lightness conditions but perf…

Ingredient-Oriented Multi-Degradation Learning for Image Restoration

CVPR 2023poster

Learning to leverage the relationship among diverse image restoration tasks is quite beneficial for unraveling the intrinsic ingredients behind the degradation. Recent years have witnessed the flourish of various All-in-one methods, which handle multiple image degradations within a single model. In…

Transition-constant Normalization for Image Enhancement

NeurIPS 2023spotlight

Normalization techniques that capture image style by statistical representation have become a popular component in deep neural networks. Although image enhancement can be considered as a form of style transformation, there has been little exploration of how normalization affect the enhancement perfo…

Towards Bidirectional Arbitrary Image Rescaling: Joint Optimization and Cycle Idempotence

CVPR 2022poster

Deep learning based single image super-resolution models have been widely studied and superb results are achieved in upscaling low-resolution images with fixed scale factor and downscaling degradation kernel. To improve real world applicability of such models, there are growing interests to develop…
