Despite considerable advances in natural image matting over the last decades, video matting still remains a difficult problem. The main challenges faced by existing methods are the large amount of user input required, and ...

Volume compaction is a geometric problem that aims to reduce the volume of a polyhedron via shape transform. Compactable structures are easier to transport and in some cases easier to manufacture, therefore, they are ...

360° VR videos provide users with an immersive visual experience. To encode 360° VR videos, spherical pixels must be mapped onto a two-dimensional domain to take advantage of the existing video encoding and storage standards. ...

Despite the recent impressive development of deep neural networks, using deep learning based methods to generate largescale Chinese fonts is still a rather challenging task due to the huge number of intricate Chinese glyphs, ...

Light field (LF) reconstruction is a fundamental technique in light field imaging and has applications in both software and hardware aspects. This paper presents an unsupervised learning method for LF-oriented view synthesis, ...

We propose a new method to obtain the representative colors and their distributions of an image. Our intuition is that it is possible to derive the global model from the local distributions. Beginning by sampling pure ...

Exposure correction is one of the fundamental tasks in image processing and computational photography. While various methods have been proposed, they either fail to produce visually pleasing results, or only work well for ...

This paper proposes a deep learning-based image tone enhancement approach that can maximally enhance the tone of an image while preserving the naturalness. Our approach does not require carefully generated ground-truth ...

We propose a novel approach to robot-operated active understanding of unknown indoor scenes, based on online RGBD reconstruction with semantic segmentation. In our method, the exploratory robot scanning is both driven by ...

Palette-based image decomposition has attracted increasing attention in recent years. A specific class of approaches have been proposed basing on the RGB-space geometry, which manage to construct convex hulls whose vertices ...
