Fine-grained image classification remains challenging due to the large intra-class variance and small inter-class variance. Since the subtle visual differences are only in local regions of discriminative parts among subcategories, part…
Unsupervised image-to-image translation (UNIT) aims at learning a mapping between several visual domains by using unpaired training images. Recent studies have shown remarkable success for multiple domains but they suffer from two main…
In this paper, we present UniPaint, a unified generative space-time video inpainting framework that enables spatial-temporal inpainting and interpolation. Different from existing methods that treat video inpainting and video interpolation…
Semantic analysis on visible (RGB) and infrared (IR) images has gained significant attention due to their enhanced accuracy and robustness under challenging conditions including low-illumination and adverse weather. However, due to the lack…
Objective: The study aims to address the challenge of aligning Standard Fundus Images (SFIs) and Ultra-Widefield Fundus Images (UWFIs), which is difficult due to their substantial differences in viewing range and the amorphous appearance of…
In this paper, we introduce DiffusionMat, a novel image matting framework that employs a diffusion model for the transition from coarse to refined alpha mattes. Diverging from conventional methods that utilize trimaps merely as loose…
Illumination effects cause problems for many computer vision algorithms. We present a user-friendly interactive system for robust illumination-invariant image generation. Compared with the previous automated illumination-invariant image…
Affective Image Manipulation (AIM) aims to alter visual elements within an image to evoke specific emotional responses from viewers. However, existing AIM approaches rely on rigid \emph{one-to-one} mappings between emotions and visual cues,…
Image inpainting approaches have achieved significant progress with the help of deep neural networks. However, existing approaches mainly focus on leveraging the priori distribution learned by neural networks to produce a single inpainting…
Multi-modality image fusion (MMIF) combines complementary information from different image modalities to provide a comprehensive and objective interpretation of scenes. However, existing fusion methods cannot resist different weather…
We present ImageBind, an approach to learn a joint embedding across six different modalities - images, text, audio, depth, thermal, and IMU data. We show that all combinations of paired data are not necessary to train such a joint…
With generative models becoming increasingly sophisticated and diverse, detecting AI-generated images has become increasingly challenging. While existing AI-genereted Image detectors achieve promising performance on in-distribution…
Image matching approaches have been widely used in computer vision applications in which the image-level matching performance of matchers is critical. However, it has not been well investigated by previous works which place more emphases on…
This paper examines the limitations of advanced text-to-image models in accurately rendering unconventional concepts which are scarcely represented or absent in their training datasets. We identify how these limitations not only confine the…
Deployment of machine learning algorithms into real-world practice is still a difficult task. One of the challenges lies in the unpredictable variability of input data, which may differ significantly among individual users, institutions,…
