In this paper, we propose a unified neural network for panoptic segmentation, a task aiming to achieve more fine-grained segmentation. Following existing methods combining semantic and instance segmentation, our method ...

Smoothing noises while preserving strong edges in images is an important problem in image processing. Image smoothing filters can be either explicit (based on local weighted average) or implicit (based on global optimization). ...

In this paper, we present a practically robust method for computing foldover-free volumetric mappings with hard linear constraints. Central to this approach is a projection algorithm that monotonically and efficiently ...

In this paper, we propose a PatchMatch-based Multi-View Stereo (MVS) algorithm which can efficiently estimate geometry for the textureless area. Conventional PatchMatch-based MVS algorithms estimate depth and normal ...

Image composition extracts the content of interest (COI) from a source image and blends it into a target image to generate a new image. In the majority of existing works, the COI is manually extracted and then overlaid on ...

Indirect illumination involving with visually rich participating media such as turbulent smoke and loud explosions contributes significantly to the appearances of other objects in a rendering scene. However, previous ...

Freeform surfaces whose principal curvature line network is regularly distributed, are essential to many real applications like CAD modeling, architecture design, and industrial fabrication. However, most designed surfaces ...
