Cognitive planning is the structural decomposition of complex tasks into a sequence of future behaviors. In the computational setting, performing cognitive planning entails grounding plans and concepts in one or more modalities in order to…
Recent approaches on visual scene understanding attempt to build a scene graph -- a computational representation of objects and their pairwise relationships. Such rich semantic representation is very appealing, yet difficult to obtain from…
Light adaptation or brightness correction is a key step in improving the contrast and visual appeal of an image. There are multiple light-related tasks (for example, low-light enhancement and exposure correction) and previous studies have…
Precise and reliable climate projections are required for climate adaptation and mitigation, but Earth system models still exhibit great uncertainties. Several approaches have been developed to reduce the spread of climate projections and…
We consider the problem of projecting a convex set onto a subspace, or equivalently formulated, the problem of computing a set obtained by applying a linear mapping to a convex feasible set. This includes the problem of approximating convex…
Projection mapping (PM) enables augmented reality (AR) experiences without requiring users to wear head-mounted displays and supports multi-user interaction. It is regarded as a promising technology for a variety of applications in which…
Location modeling, or determining where non-existing objects could feasibly appear in a scene, has the potential to benefit numerous computer vision tasks, from automatic object insertion to scene creation in virtual reality. Yet, this…
Fine localization in autonomous driving platforms is a task of broad interest, receiving much attention in recent years. Some localization algorithms use the Euclidean distance as a similarity measure between the local image acquired by a…
Terrains are the main part of an electronic game. To reduce human effort on game development, procedural techniques are used to generate synthetic terrains. However rendering a terrain is not a trivial task. Their rendering techniques must…
Spatial light modulation is important for many scientific and industrial applications. The spatial light modulator and optical data projector both rely on precisely configurable optical elements to shape a light beam. Here we explore an…
Camera display reflections are an issue in bright light situations, as they may prevent users from correctly positioning the subject in the picture. We propose a software solution to this problem, which consists in modifying the image in…

Communication of dense information between humans and machines is relatively low bandwidth. Many modern search and recommender systems operate as machine learning black boxes, giving little insight as to how they represent information or…
This paper tackles a new photometric stereo task, named universal photometric stereo. Unlike existing tasks that assumed specific physical lighting models; hence, drastically limited their usability, a solution algorithm of this task is…
Image composition aims to generate realistic composite image by inserting an object from one image into another background image, where the placement (e.g., location, size, occlusion) of inserted object may be unreasonable, which would…
Projecting climate change is a generalization problem: we extrapolate the recent past using physical models across past, present, and future climates. Current climate models require representations of processes that occur at scales smaller…
Faithful manipulation of shape, material, and illumination in 2D Internet images would greatly benefit from a reliable factorization of appearance into material (i.e., diffuse and specular) and illumination (i.e., environment maps). On the…
Undoing the image formation process and therefore decomposing appearance into its intrinsic properties is a challenging task due to the under-constraint nature of this inverse problem. While significant progress has been made on inferring…
Though a lot of improvement has been made to hair rendering techniques in the recent years, realistic rendering of hair remains a challenge, especially in real time. In this paper, we propose a fast technique to approximate the shading of…
A map is an abstract visual representation of a region, taken from a given space, usually designed for final human consumption. Traditional cartography focuses on the mapping of Euclidean spaces by using some distance metric. In this paper…
