Video deblurring is essential task for autonomous driving, facial recognition, and security surveillance. Traditional methods directly estimate motion blur kernels, often introducing artifacts and leading to poor results. Recent approaches…

Reconstructing spatially and temporally coherent videos from time-varying measurements is a fundamental challenge in many scientific domains. A major difficulty arises from the sparsity of measurements, which hinders accurate recovery of…

Abnormality detection in video poses particular challenges due to the infinite size of the class of all irregular objects and behaviors. Thus no (or by far not enough) abnormal training samples are available and we need to find…

When different groups' values differ, one approach to model alignment is to steer models at inference time towards each group's preferences. However, techniques like in-context learning only consider similarity when drawing few-shot…

We present the first end to end approach for real time material estimation for general object shapes with uniform material that only requires a single color image as input. In addition to Lambertian surface properties, our approach fully…

Zero-shot action recognition relies on transferring knowledge from vision-language models to unseen actions using semantic descriptions. While recent methods focus on temporal modeling or architectural adaptations to handle video data, we…

Anomaly detection in videos refers to the identification of events that do not conform to expected behavior. However, almost all existing methods tackle the problem by minimizing the reconstruction errors of training data, which cannot…

The increasing ubiquity of video content and the corresponding demand for efficient access to meaningful information have elevated video summarization and video highlights as a vital research area. However, many state-of-the-art methods…

Anomaly identification is highly dependent on the relationship between the object and the scene, as different/same object actions in same/different scenes may lead to various degrees of normality and anomaly. Therefore, object-scene…

Comparing vision language models on videos is particularly complex, as the performances is jointly determined by the model's visual representation capacity and the frame-sampling strategy used to construct the input. Current video…

Human vision is dynamic and continuous. However, in video understanding with multimodal large language models (LLMs), existing methods primarily rely on static features extracted from images sampled at a fixed low frame rate of…
