Human-Object Interaction (HOI) detection aims to localize human-object pairs and classify their interactions from a single image, a task that demands strong visual understanding and nuanced contextual reasoning. Recent approaches have leveraged Vision-Language Models (VLMs) to introduce semantic pri
While most autoregressive LLMs are constrained to one-by-one decoding, diffusion LLMs (dLLMs) have attracted growing interest for their potential to dramatically accelerate inference through parallel decoding. Despite this promise, the conditional independence assumption in dLLMs causes parallel dec…
Blind-spot networks (BSNs) enable self-supervised image denoising by preventing access to the target pixel, allowing clean signal estimation without ground-truth supervision. However, this approach assumes pixel-wise noise independence, which is violated in real-world sRGB images due to spatially co
Space-time video super-resolution (STVSR) is a task aimed at simultaneously upsampling a video in both spatial and temporal dimensions. Previous studies on STVSR have primarily focused on task-specific architectures and modeling paradigms, while effective pretraining strategies remain underexplored.
Recent advancements in self-supervised denoising have made it possible to train models without needing a large amount of noisy-clean image pairs. A significant development in this area is the use of blind-spot networks (BSNs), which use single noisy images as training pairs by masking some input inf…
Diffusion transformers demonstrate significant potential for various generation tasks but are challenged by high computational cost. Recently, feature caching methods have been introduced to improve inference efficiency by storing features at certain timesteps and reusing them at subsequent timestep…
Transformer-based Super-Resolution (SR) methods have demonstrated superior performance compared to convolutional neural network (CNN)-based SR approaches due to their capability to capture long-range dependencies. However, their high computational complexity necessitates the development of lightweig…
The image enhancement methods based on 3D lookup tables (3D LUTs) efficiently reduce both model size and runtime by interpolating pre-calculated values at the vertices. However, the 3D LUT methods have a limitation due to their lack of spatial information, as they convert color values on a point-by-…
Estimating the 6D pose of unseen objects from monocular RGB images remains a challenging problem, especially due to the lack of prior object-specific knowledge. To tackle this issue, we propose RefPose, an innovative approach to object pose estimation that leverages a reference image and geometric c…
Semantic watermarking techniques for latent diffusion models (LDMs) are robust against regeneration attacks, but often suffer from detection performance degradation due to the loss of frequency integrity. To tackle this problem, we propose a novel embedding method called Hermitian Symmetric Fourier…
State Space Models (SSMs) have emerged as efficient alternatives to Transformers, mitigating their quadratic computational cost. However, the application of Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning (PEFT) methods to SSMs remains largely unexplored. In particular, prompt-based methods like Prompt Tuning and P…
"Under-display camera (UDC) image restoration aims to restore images distorted by the OLED display panel covering the frontal camera on a smartphone. Previous deep learning-based UDC restoration methods focused on restoring the image within the RGB domain with the collection of real or synthetic RGB…
As demands for high-quality videos continue to rise, high-resolution and high-dynamic range (HDR) imaging techniques are drawing attention. To generate an HDR video from low dynamic range (LDR) images, one of the critical steps is the motion compensation between LDR frames, for which most existing w…
Single-image super-resolution (SISR) networks trained with perceptual and adversarial losses provide high-contrast outputs compared to those of networks trained with distortion-oriented losses, such as L1 or L2. However, it has been shown that using a single perceptual loss is insufficient for accur…
There have been many image denoisers using deep neural networks, which outperform conventional model-based methods by large margins. Recently, self-supervised methods have attracted attention because constructing a large real noise dataset for supervised training is an enormous burden. The most repr…
"Predicting the object’s 6D pose from a single RGB image is a fundamental computer vision task. Generally, the distance between transformed object vertices is employed as an objective function for pose estimation methods. However, projective geometry in the camera space is not considered in those me…
"In hash-based image retrieval systems, degraded or transformed inputs usually generate different codes from the original, deteriorating the retrieval accuracy. To mitigate this issue, data augmentation can be applied during training. However, even if augmented samples of an image are similar in rea…
Multi-exposure high dynamic range (HDR) imaging aims to generate an HDR image from multiple differently exposed low dynamic range (LDR) images. It is a challenging task due to two major problems: (1) there are usually misalignments among the input LDR images, and (2) LDR images often have incomplete…
Recent learning-based lossless image compression methods encode an image in the unit of subimages and achieve comparable performances to conventional non-learning algorithms. However, these methods do not consider the performance drop in the high-frequency region, giving equal consideration to the l…
Supervised deep learning-based hash and vector quantization are enabling fast and large-scale image retrieval systems. By fully exploiting label annotations, they are achieving outstanding retrieval performances compared to the conventional methods. However, it is painstaking to assign labels precis…
Image retrieval methods that employ hashing or vector quantization have achieved great success by taking advantage of deep learning. However, these approaches do not meet expectations unless expensive label information is sufficient. To resolve this issue, we propose the first quantization-based sem…
Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have shown dramatic improvements in single image super-resolution (SISR) by using large-scale external samples. Despite their remarkable performance based on the external dataset, they cannot exploit internal information within a specific image. Another problem i…
Real-noise denoising is a challenging task because the statistics of real-noise do not follow the normal distribution, and they are also spatially and temporally changing. In order to cope with various and complex real-noise, we propose a well-generalized denoising architecture and a transfer learni…
Recently, many convolutional neural networks for single image super-resolution (SISR) have been proposed, which focus on reconstructing the high-resolution images in terms of objective distortion measures. However, the networks trained with objective loss functions generally fail to reconstruct the…
This paper presents a method to aggregate deep features for an object-based image retrieval system. Several recent works have demonstrated that it is quite important to selectively aggregate features with a weighting scheme and extract features from the limited regions likely to contain specific obj…
We propose a new skin detection method based on multi-seeds propagation in a multi-layer graph representation of an image. Initially, some of nodes in the graph are set to be foreground or background seeds based on a simple Bayesian skin detector, and they are propagated through the graph to find th…
