Visual document retrieval aims to retrieve a set of document pages relevant to a query from visually rich collections. Existing methods often employ Vision-Language Models (VLMs) to encode queries and visual pages into a shared embedding…
We propose a novel model named Multi-Channel Attention Selection Generative Adversarial Network (SelectionGAN) for guided image-to-image translation, where we translate an input image into another while respecting an external semantic…
In this work, we address the challenge of Scene Change Detection (SCD), where the goal is to identify variations between two images of the same location captured at different times. Existing SCD models often overlook the varying importance…
Most existing cross-modal retrieval methods employ two-stream encoders with different architectures for images and texts, \textit{e.g.}, CNN for images and RNN/Transformer for texts. Such discrepancy in architectures may induce different…
