Lighting-grounded Video Generation with Renderer-based Agent Reasoning

CVPR 2026

Diffusion models have achieved remarkable progress in video generation, but their controllability remains a major limitation. Key scene factors such as layout, lighting, and camera trajectory are often entangled or only weakly modeled, restricting their applicability in domains like filmmaking and v

Audio-Sync Video Generation with Multi-Stream Temporal Control

NeurIPS 2025poster

Audio is inherently temporal and closely synchronized with the visual world, making it a naturally aligned and expressive control signal for controllable video generation (e.g., movies). Beyond control, directly translating audio into video is essential for understanding and visualizing rich audio n…

Affective Image Filter: Reflecting Emotions from Text to Images

ICCV 2023poster

Understanding the emotions in text and presenting them visually is a very challenging problem that requires a deep understanding of natural language and high-quality image synthesis simultaneously. In this work, we propose Affective Image Filter (AIF), a novel model that is able to understand the vi…

L-CAD: Language-based Colorization with Any-level Descriptions using Diffusion Priors

NeurIPS 2023spotlight

Language-based colorization produces plausible and visually pleasing colors under the guidance of user-friendly natural language descriptions. Previous methods implicitly assume that users provide comprehensive color descriptions for most of the objects in the image, which leads to suboptimal perfor…

L-CoIns: Language-Based Colorization With Instance Awareness

CVPR 2023poster

Language-based colorization produces plausible colors consistent with the language description provided by the user. Recent studies introduce additional annotation to prevent color-object coupling and mismatch issues, but they still have difficulty in distinguishing instances corresponding to the sa…

L-CoDe:Language-Based Colorization Using Color-Object Decoupled Conditions

AAAI 2022technical

Colorizing a grayscale image is inherently an ill-posed problem with multi-modal uncertainty. Language-based colorization offers a natural way of interaction to reduce such uncertainty via a user-provided caption. However, the color-object coupling and mismatch issues make the mapping from word to c…

L-CoDer: Language-Based Colorization with Color-Object Decoupling Transformer

ECCV 2022poster

"Language-based colorization requires the colorized image to be consistent with the the user-provided language caption. A most recent work proposes to decouple the language into color and object conditions in solving the problem. Though decent progress has been made, its performance is limited by th…

STRPM: A Spatiotemporal Residual Predictive Model for High-Resolution Video Prediction

CVPR 2022poster

Although many video prediction methods have obtained good performance in low-resolution (64 128) videos, predictive models for high-resolution (512 4K) videos have not been fully explored yet, which are more meaningful due to the increasing demand for high-quality videos. Compared with low-resolutio…

MAU: A Motion-Aware Unit for Video Prediction and Beyond

NeurIPS 2021poster

Accurately predicting inter-frame motion information plays a key role in video prediction tasks. In this paper, we propose a Motion-Aware Unit (MAU) to capture reliable inter-frame motion information by broadening the temporal receptive field of the predictive units. The MAU consists of two modules,…
