We introduce HouseTour, a method for spatially-aware 3D camera trajectory and natural language summary generation from a collection of images depicting an existing 3D space. Unlike existing vision-language models (VLMs), which struggle with…
We propose to build realistic virtual worlds, called 360RVW, for large urban environments directly from 360{\deg} videos. We provide an interface for interactive exploration, where users can freely navigate via their own avatars. 360{\deg}…
We present AutoTour, a system that enhances user exploration by automatically generating fine-grained landmark annotations and descriptive narratives for photos captured by users. The key idea of AutoTour is to fuse visual features…
Real-estate image tagging is one of the essential use-cases to save efforts involved in manual annotation and enhance the user experience. This paper proposes an end-to-end pipeline (referred to as RE-Tagger) for the real-estate image…
Understanding high-dimensional data requires projecting it into lower-dimensional spaces, but any single projection inevitably loses information or introduces distortions. Tours address this limitation through animation of 2D projection…
This article discusses a high-dimensional visualization technique called the tour, which can be used to view data in more than three dimensions. We review the theory and history behind the technique, as well as modern software developments…
Immersive technologies are capable of transporting people to distant or inaccessible environments that they might not otherwise visit. Practitioners and researchers alike are discovering new ways to replicate and enhance existing tourism…
MetaDecorator, is a framework that empowers users to personalize virtual spaces. By leveraging text-driven prompts and image synthesis techniques, MetaDecorator adorns static panoramas captured by 360{\deg} imaging devices, transforming…
This paper presents a novel approach to the digital signing of electronic documents through the use of a camera-based interaction system, single-finger tracking for sign recognition, and multi commands executing hand gestures. The proposed…
In Virtual Product Placement (VPP) applications, the discrete integration of specific brand products into images or videos has emerged as a challenging yet important task. This paper introduces a novel three-stage fully automated VPP…
Photorealism is a complex concept that cannot easily be formulated mathematically. Deep Photo Style Transfer is an attempt to transfer the style of a reference image to a content image while preserving its photorealism. This is achieved by…
360{\deg} images and videos have become an economic and popular way to provide VR experiences using real-world content. However, the manipulation of the stereo panoramic content remains less explored. In this paper, we focus on the…
Virtual reality (VR) has emerged as a promising tool for assessing instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs) in older adults. However, the ecological validity of these simulations is often compromised by simplified or low-fidelity…
The disruption to tourism and travel caused by the COVID-related health crisis highlighted the potential of virtual tourism to provide a universally accessible way to engage in cultural experiences. 360-degree virtual tours, showing a…
Delivering immersive, 3D experiences for human communication requires a method to obtain 360 degree photo-realistic avatars of humans. To make these experiences accessible to all, only commodity hardware, like mobile phone cameras, should…
Geospatial data come from various sources, such as satellites, aircraft, and LiDAR. The variability of the source is not limited to the types of data acquisition techniques, as we have maps from different time periods. To incorporate these…
Nowadays stock photo agencies often have millions of images. Non-stop viewing of 20 million images at a speed of 10 images per second would take more than three weeks. This demonstrates the impossibility to inspect all images and the…
Widespread RGB-Depth (RGB-D) sensors and advanced 3D reconstruction technologies facilitate the capture of indoor spaces, improving the fields of augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and extended reality (XR). Nevertheless, current…
In this paper, a method for Automatic Image Registration (AIR) through histogram is proposed. Automatic image registration is one of the crucial steps in the analysis of remotely sensed data. A new acquired image must be transformed, using…
Photos can be treated as life logs of photo owners. Photos can be reliable information to estimate patterns of actions and movements of the owners. Based on this discussion, we are developing an interactive technique to explore the…
