Vision-language models (VLMs) with dynamic resolution vision encoders achieve strong performance, but face significant efficiency challenges due to long input sequences. A common approach is to assess the importance of tokens and prune those that are less informative. Recent methods utilizing a smal
Capturing high-quality images from only a few detected photons is a fundamental challenge in computational imaging. Single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) sensors promise high-quality imaging in regimes where conventional cameras fail, but raw quanta frames contain only sparse, noisy, binary photon de
"Understanding and modeling the popularity of User Generated Content (UGC) short videos on social media platforms presents a critical challenge with broad implications for content creators and recommendation systems. This study delves deep into the intricacies of predicting engagement for newly publ…
"Typical projectors are designed to programmably display 2D content at a single depth. In this work, we explore how to engineer a depth-varying projector system that is capable of forming desired patterns at multiple depths. To this end, we leverage a holographic approach, but a naı̈ve implementatio…
Active depth sensing achieves robust depth estimation but is usually limited by the sensing range. Naively increasing the optical power can improve sensing range but induces eye-safety concerns for many applications, including autonomous robots and augmented reality. In this paper, we propose an ada…
We present a novel structured light technique that uses Single Photon Avalanche Diode (SPAD) arrays to enable 3D scanning at high-frame rates and low-light levels. This technique, called "Single-Photon Structured Light", works by sensing binary images that indicates the presence or absence of photon…
We present inertial safety maps (ISM), a novel scene representation designed for fast detection of obstacles in scenarios involving camera or scene motion, such as robot navigation and human-robot interaction. ISM is a motion-centric representation that encodes both scene geometry and motion; differ…
This paper presents novel techniques for recovering 3D dense scene flow, based on differential analysis of 4D light fields. The key enabling result is a per-ray linear equation, called the ray flow equation, that relates 3D scene flow to 4D light field gradients. The ray flow equation is invariant t…
