Modern convolutional neural networks apply the same operations on every pixel in an image. However, not all image regions are equally important. To address this inefficiency, we propose a method to dynamically apply convolutions conditioned…
We present an implicit video representation for occlusions, appearance, and motion disentanglement from monocular videos, which we call Video SPatiotemporal Splines (VideoSPatS). Unlike previous methods that map time and coordinates to…
Reconstructing dynamic 3D scenes from blurry monocular videos is challenging as motion-induced blur entangles object motion and geometry, hindering geometric consistency. We present Kinematics-GS, a kinematics-aware framework that models…
Most of the existing visual SLAM methods heavily rely on a static world assumption and easily fail in dynamic environments. Some recent works eliminate the influence of dynamic objects by introducing deep learning-based semantic information…

Pixels in image sensors have progressively become smaller, driven by the goal of producing higher-resolution imagery. However, ceteris paribus, a smaller pixel accumulates less light, making image quality worse. This interplay of…

Reasoning about complex visual scenes involves perception of entities and their relations. Scene graphs provide a natural representation for reasoning tasks, by assigning labels to both entities (nodes) and relations (edges). Unfortunately,…
