Primitive-based splatting methods like 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) have revolutionized novel view synthesis with real-time rendering. However, their point-based representations remain incompatible with mesh-based pipelines that power AR/VR and game engines. We present Mesh Splatting, a mesh-based r
Recent probabilistic methods for 3D triangular meshes capture diverse shapes by differentiable mesh connectivity, but face high computational costs with increased shape details. We introduce a new differentiable mesh processing method that addresses this challenge and efficiently handles meshes with…
We present a parallelized differentiable traffic simulator based on the Intelligent Driver Model (IDM), a car-following framework that incorporates driver behavior as key variables. Our vehicle simulator efficiently models vehicle motion, generating trajectories that can be supervised to fit real-wo
In this work, we introduce the Time-Aware World Model (TAWM), a model-based approach that explicitly incorporates temporal dynamics. By conditioning on the time-step size, $\Delta t$, and training over a diverse range of $\Delta t$ values – rather than sampling at a fixed time-step – TAWM learns bot…
We present a differentiable representation, DMesh, for general 3D triangular meshes. DMesh considers both the geometry and connectivity information of a mesh. In our design, we first get a set of convex tetrahedra that compactly tessellates the domain based on Weighted Delaunay Triangulation (WDT),…
In trajectory forecasting tasks for traffic, future output trajectories can be computed by advancing the ego vehicle’s state with predicted actions according to a kinematics model. By unrolling predicted trajectories via time integration and models of kinematic dynamics, predicted trajectories shoul…
Recently, GAN has successfully contributed to making single-image super-resolution (SISR) methods produce more realistic images. However, natural images have complex distribution in the real world, and a single classifier in the discriminator may not have enough capacity to classify real and fake sa…
We introduce a novel policy learning method that integrates analytical gradients from differentiable environments with the Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) algorithm. To incorporate analytical gradients into the PPO framework, we introduce the concept of an α-policy that stands as a locally superi…
While there have been advancements in autonomous driving control and traffic simulation, there have been little to no works exploring their unification with deep learning. Works in both areas seem to focus on entirely different exclusive problems, yet traffic and driving are inherently related in th…
Place recognition plays an important role in multi-robot collaborative perception, such as aerial-ground search and rescue, in order to identify the same place they have visited. Recently, approaches based on semantics showed the promising performance to address cross-view and cross-modal challenges…
Blind-spot network (BSN) and its variants have made significant advances in self-supervised denoising. Nevertheless, they are still bound to synthetic noisy inputs due to less practical assumptions like pixel-wise independent noise. Hence, it is challenging to deal with spatially correlated real-wor…
Recently, significant progress has been made on image denoising with strong supervision from large-scale datasets. However, obtaining well-aligned noisy-clean training image pairs for each specific scenario is complicated and costly in practice. Consequently, applying a conventional supervised denoi…
The goal of dynamic scene deblurring is to remove the motion blur in a given image. Typical learning-based approaches implement their solutions by minimizing the L1 or L2 distance between the output and the reference sharp image. Recent attempts adopt visual recognition features in training to impro…
Learning-based image denoising methods have been bounded to situations where well-aligned noisy and clean images are given, or samples are synthesized from predetermined noise models, e.g., Gaussian. While recent generative noise modeling methods aim to simulate the unknown distribution of real-worl…
Deep CNNs have achieved significant successes in image processing and its applications, including single image super-resolution (SR). However, conventional methods still resort to some predetermined integer scaling factors, e.g., x2 or x4. Thus, they are difficult to be applied when arbitrary target…
Recurrent neural networks (RNNs) are widely used for sequential data processing. Recent state-of-the-art video deblurring methods bank on convolutional recurrent neural network architectures to exploit the temporal relationship between neighboring frames. In this work, we aim to improve the accuracy…
In this paper, we propose a novel method to compress CNNs by reconstructing the network from a small set of spatial convolution kernels. Starting from a pre-trained model, we extract representative 2D kernel centroids using k-means clustering. Each centroid replaces the corresponding kernels of the…
