How can we teach humanoids to climb staircases and sit on chairs using the surrounding environment context? Arguably, the simplest way is to just show them-casually capture a human motion video and feed it to humanoids. We introduce…
We present Playable Environments - a new representation for interactive video generation and manipulation in space and time. With a single image at inference time, our novel framework allows the user to move objects in 3D while generating a…
3D vector graphics play a crucial role in various applications including 3D shape retrieval, conceptual design, and virtual reality interactions due to their ability to capture essential structural information with minimal representation.…
A 360 virtual reality (VR) video, recording a scene of interest in every direction, provides VR users with immersive viewing experience. However, transmission of a 360 VR video which is of a much larger size than a traditional video to…
In this paper, we propose a wavelet-based video codec specifically designed for VR displays that enables real-time playback of high-resolution 360{\deg} videos. Our codec exploits the fact that only a fraction of the full 360{\deg} video…
Modern text-to-video synthesis models demonstrate coherent, photorealistic generation of complex videos from a text description. However, most existing models lack fine-grained control over camera movement, which is critical for downstream…
Digital human avatars aim to simulate the dynamic appearance of humans in virtual environments, enabling immersive experiences across gaming, film, virtual reality, and more. However, the conventional process for creating and animating…
This paper proposed a new interaction paradigm in the virtual reality (VR) environments, which consists of a virtual mirror or window projected onto a virtual surface, representing the correct perspective geometry of a mirror or window…
Robots can use Visual Imitation Learning (VIL) to learn manipulation tasks from video demonstrations. However, translating visual observations into actionable robot policies is challenging due to the high-dimensional nature of video data.…
When video collections become huge, how to explore both within and across videos efficiently is challenging. Video summarization is one of the ways to tackle this issue. Traditional summarization approaches limit the effectiveness of video…
We introduce a method to convert stereo 360{\deg} (omnidirectional stereo) imagery into a layered, multi-sphere image representation for six degree-of-freedom (6DoF) rendering. Stereo 360{\deg} imagery can be captured from multi-camera…
A generic video summary is an abridged version of a video that conveys the whole story and features the most important scenes. Yet the importance of scenes in a video is often subjective, and users should have the option of customizing the…
Today, video cameras are deployed in dense for monitoring physical places e.g., city, industrial, or agricultural sites. In the current systems, each camera node sends its feed to a cloud server individually. However, this approach suffers…
Occlusion-free video generation is challenging due to surgeons' obstructions in the camera field of view. Prior work has addressed this issue by installing multiple cameras on a surgical light, hoping some cameras will observe the surgical…
Stereoscopic video technologies have been introduced to the consumer market in the past few years. A key factor in designing a 3D system is to understand how different visual cues and distortions affect the perceptual quality of…
Salient human detection (SHD) in dynamic 360{\deg} immersive videos is of great importance for various applications such as robotics, inter-human and human-object interaction in augmented reality. However, 360{\deg} video SHD has been…
We introduce a novel urban visualization system that integrates 3D urban model (CityGML) and 360{\deg} walkthrough videos. By aligning the videos with the model and dynamically projecting relevant video frames onto the geometries, our…
With increasing advancements in technologies for capturing 360{\deg} videos, advances in streaming such videos have become a popular research topic. However, streaming 360{\deg} videos require high bandwidth, thus escalating the need for…
Streaming 360{\deg} video demands high bandwidth and low latency, and poses significant challenges to Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and Mobile Network Operators (MNOs). The identification of 360{\deg} video traffic can therefore…
This paper presents a technology that enables the watching of videos at very high speed. Subtitles are widely used in DVD movies, and provide useful supplemental information for understanding video contents. We propose a "two-level…
