Coarse-grained time series (CGTS) are critical for business and macroeconomic analysis. However, CGTS are typically updated infrequently and contain few observations, so model-centric training on raw data is prone to overfitting and degraded forecast accuracy. To address this, we propose SI-CVAE, a
Point cloud completion is crucial for robust 3D perception but remains challenging. Coarse-to-fine methods can lead to unconstrained local guesses in the absence of key structures, whereas diffusion-based approaches may introduce geometric inconsistencies. To overcome these limitations, we present T
Time-resolved imaging is an emerging sensing modality that has been shown to enable advanced applications, including remote sensing, fluorescence lifetime imaging, and even non-line-of-sight sensing. Single-photon avalanche diodes (SPADs) outperform relevant time-resolved imaging technologies thanks…
Diffusion models have made breakthroughs in 3D generation tasks. Current 3D diffusion models focus on reconstructing target shape from images or a set of partial observations. While excelling in global context understanding, they struggle to capture the local details of complex shapes and limited to…
For binocular stereo, traditional cameras excel in capturing fine details and texture information but are limited in terms of dynamic range and their ability to handle rapid motion. On the contrary, event cameras provide pixel-level intensity changes with low latency and a wide dynamic range, albeit…
The polarization event camera PDAVIS is a novel bio-inspired neuromorphic vision sensor that reports both conventional polarization frames and asynchronous, continuously per-pixel polarization brightness changes (polarization events) with fast temporal resolution and large dynamic range. A deep neur…
In this paper, we present the first polarization-guided video glass segmentation propagation solution (PGVS-Net) that can robustly and coherently propagate glass segmentation in RGB-P video sequences. By leveraging spatiotemporal polarization and color information, our method combines multi-view pol…
Transparent and semi-transparent materials pose significant challenges for existing scene understanding and segmentation algorithms due to their lack of RGB texture which impedes the extraction of meaningful features. In this work, we exploit that the light-matter interactions on glass materials pro…
Camouflaged object segmentation (COS) aims to identify objects that are "perfectly" assimilate into their surroundings, which has a wide range of valuable applications. The key challenge of COS is that there exist high intrinsic similarities between the candidate objects and noise background. In thi…
We present a novel mirror segmentation method that leverages depth estimates from ToF-based cameras as an additional cue to disambiguate challenging cases where the contrast or relation in RGB colors between the mirror reflection and the surrounding scene is subtle. A key observation is that ToF dep…
Inspired by the complementarity between conventional frame-based and bio-inspired event-based cameras, we propose a multi-modal based approach to fuse visual cues from the frame- and event-domain to enhance the single object tracking performance, especially in degraded conditions (e.g., scenes with…
Existing deep learning based matting algorithms primarily resort to high-level semantic features to improve the overall structure of alpha mattes. However, we argue that advanced semantics extracted from CNNs contribute unequally for alpha perception and we are supposed to reconcile advanced semanti…
Glass is very common in our daily life. Existing computer vision systems neglect it and thus may have severe consequences, e.g., a robot may crash into a glass wall. However, sensing the presence of glass is not straightforward. The key challenge is that arbitrary objects/scenes can appear behind th…
Mirrors are everywhere in our daily lives. Existing computer vision systems do not consider mirrors, and hence may get confused by the reflected content inside a mirror, resulting in a severe performance degradation. However, separating the real content outside a mirror from the reflected content in…
Image correction aims to adjust an input image into a visually pleasing one with the detail in the under/over exposed regions recovered. However, existing image correction methods are mainly based on image pixel operations, and attempting to recover the lost detail from these under/over exposed regi…
