Manga is a culturally distinctive multimodal medium and one of the most influential forms of Japanese popular culture. As AI systems increasingly target manga understanding, OCR, and translation, Manga109 has become a foundational dataset…
Image retargeting aims to alter the size of the image with attention to the contents. One of the main obstacles to training deep learning models for image retargeting is the need for a vast labeled dataset. Labeled datasets are unavailable…
Personalized text-to-image generation methods can generate customized images based on the reference images, which have garnered wide research interest. Recent methods propose a finetuning-free approach with a decoupled cross-attention…
We introduce a framework that automates the transformation of static anime illustrations into manipulatable 2.5D models. Current professional workflows require tedious manual segmentation and the artistic ``hallucination'' of occluded…
We propose FocusTune, a focus-guided sampling technique to improve the performance of visual localization algorithms. FocusTune directs a scene coordinate regression model towards regions critical for 3D point triangulation by exploiting…
Image retargeting aims to change the aspect-ratio of an image while maintaining its content and structure with less visual artifacts. Existing methods still generate many artifacts or fail to maintain original content or structure. To…
Anime video generation faces significant challenges due to the scarcity of anime data and unusual motion patterns, leading to issues such as motion distortion and flickering artifacts, which result in misalignment with human preferences.…
We present a neural network to estimate the visual information of important pixels in image and video, which is used in content-aware media retargeting applications. Existing techniques are successful in proposing retargeting methods. Yet,…
In this paper, we propose a multi-stage and high-resolution model for image synthesis that uses fine-grained attributes and masks as input. With a fine-grained attribute, the proposed model can detailedly constrain the features of the…
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) has emerged as a powerful framework to improve factuality in large language models (LLMs) by grounding their outputs in retrieved documents. However, ensuring perfect retrieval of relevant information…
We propose a novel diffusion-based framework for automatic colorization of Anime-style facial sketches. Our method preserves the structural fidelity of the input sketch while effectively transferring stylistic attributes from a reference…
Human video generation remains challenging due to the difficulty of jointly modeling human appearance, motion, and camera viewpoint under limited multi-view data. Existing methods often address these factors separately, resulting in limited…
Video retargeting for digital face animation is used in virtual reality, social media, gaming, movies, and video conference, aiming to animate avatars' facial expressions based on videos of human faces. The standard method to represent…
We introduce region-specific image refinement as a dedicated problem setting: given an input image and a user-specified region (e.g., a scribble mask or a bounding box), the goal is to restore fine-grained details while keeping all…
We consider a missing data problem in the context of automatic segmentation methods for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) brain scans. Usually, automated MRI scan segmentation is based on multiple scans (e.g., T1-weighted, T2-weighted, T1CE,…
Image retargeting is a new image processing task that renders the change of aspect ratio in images. One of the most famous image-retargeting algorithms is seam-carving. Although seam-carving is fast and straightforward, it usually distorts…
We investigate the challenges of style transfer in multi-modal visual narratives. Among static visual narratives such as comics and manga, there are distinct visual styles in terms of presentation. They include style features across…
Cosplay has grown from its origins at fan conventions into a billion-dollar global dress phenomenon. To facilitate imagination and reinterpretation from animated images to real garments, this paper presents an automatic costume image…
Preserving semantics, in particular in terms of contacts, is a key challenge when retargeting motion between characters of different morphologies. Our solution relies on a low-dimensional embedding of the character's mesh, based on rigged…
This paper addresses the challenge of example-based non-stationary texture synthesis. We introduce a novel twostep approach wherein users first modify a reference texture using standard image editing tools, yielding an initial rough target…
