In recent years there have been remarkable breakthroughs in image-to-video generation. However, the 3D consistency and camera controllability of generated frames have remained unsolved. Recent studies have attempted to incorporate camera…
Drones and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV's) are becoming increasingly popular in the film and entertainment industries in part because of their maneuverability and the dynamic shots and perspectives they enable. While there exists methods…
Real time outdoor navigation in highly dynamic environments is an crucial problem. The recent literature on real time static SLAM don't scale up to dynamic outdoor environments. Most of these methods assume moving objects as outliers or…
Sparse sensor arrays offer a cost effective alternative to uniform arrays. By utilizing the co-array, a sparse array can match the performance of a filled array, despite having significantly fewer sensors. However, even sparse arrays can…
Specifying nuanced and compelling camera motion remains a significant hurdle for non-expert creators using generative tools, creating an "expressive gap" where generic text prompts fail to capture cinematic vision. This barrier limits…
KamerRaad is an AI tool that leverages large language models to help citizens interactively engage with Belgian political information. The tool extracts and concisely summarizes key excerpts from parliamentary proceedings, followed by the…
Event cameras are a kind of bio-inspired sensors that generate data when the brightness changes, which are of low-latency and high dynamic range (HDR). However, due to the nature of the sparse event stream, event-based mapping can only…
A scanning pixel camera is a novel low-cost, low-power sensor that is not diffraction limited. It produces data as a sequence of samples extracted from various parts of the scene during the course of a scan. It can provide very detailed…
The generalization ability of imitation learning policies for robotic manipulation is fundamentally constrained by the diversity of expert demonstrations, while collecting demonstrations across varied environments is costly and difficult in…
In this paper we address the issue of photo galleries synchronization, where pictures related to the same event are collected by different users. Existing solutions to address the problem are usually based on unrealistic assumptions, like…
We introduce a multi-user VR co-location framework that synchronizes users within a shared virtual environment aligned to physical space. Our approach combines a motion capture system with SLAM-based inside-out tracking to deliver smooth,…
Multi-view capture systems are complex systems to engineer. They require technical knowledge to install and intricate processes to setup related mainly to the sensors' spatial alignment (i.e. external calibration). However, with the ongoing…
Automatically understanding the contents of an image is a highly relevant problem in practice. In e-commerce and social media settings, for example, a common problem is to automatically categorize user-provided pictures. Nowadays, a…
Capturing an event from multiple camera angles can give a viewer the most complete and interesting picture of that event. To be suitable for broadcasting, a human director needs to decide what to show at each point in time. This can become…
High-speed image acquisition in light microscopy is essential for a wide range of applications, including observing dynamic biological processes and enabling high-throughput sample analysis. However, traditional imaging speeds are often…
We propose Framer for interactive frame interpolation, which targets producing smoothly transitioning frames between two images as per user creativity. Concretely, besides taking the start and end frames as inputs, our approach supports…
Recent advances in 3D foundation models have led to growing interest in reconstructing humans and their surrounding environments. However, most existing approaches focus on monocular inputs, and extending them to multi-view settings…
This paper proposes an algorithm that turns a regular video capturing urban scenes into a high-quality endless animation, known as a Cinemagraph. The creation of a Cinemagraph usually requires a static camera in a carefully configured…
To execute collaborative tasks in unknown environments, a robotic swarm needs to establish a global reference frame and locate itself in a shared understanding of the environment. However, it faces many challenges in real-world scenarios,…
