Fine-Grained Spatially Varying Material Selection in Images

Julia Guerrero-Viu, Michael Fischer, Iliyan Georgiev +4

Selection is the first step in many image editing processes, enabling faster and simpler modifications of all pixels sharing a common modality. In this work, we present a method fo…

DiffusedWrinkles: A Diffusion-Based Model for Data-Driven Garment Animation

Raquel Vidaurre, Elena Garces, Dan Casas

We present a data-driven method for learning to generate animations of 3D garments using a 2D image diffusion model. In contrast to existing methods, typically based on fully conne…

Single-image Reflectance and Transmittance Estimation from Any Flatbed Scanner

Carlos Rodriguez-Pardo, David Pascual-Hernandez, Javier Rodriguez-Vazquez +2

Flatbed scanners have emerged as promising devices for high-resolution, single-image material capture. However, existing approaches assume very specific conditions, such as uniform…

TexTile: A Differentiable Metric for Texture Tileability

Carlos Rodriguez-Pardo, Dan Casas, Elena Garces +1

We introduce TexTile, a novel differentiable metric to quantify the degree upon which a texture image can be concatenated with itself without introducing repeating artifacts (i.e.,…

UMat: Uncertainty-Aware Single Image High Resolution Material Capture

Carlos Rodriguez-Pardo, Henar Dominguez-Elvira, David Pascual-Hernandez +1

We propose a learning-based method to recover normals, specularity, and roughness from a single diffuse image of a material, using microgeometry appearance as our primary cue. Prev…

How Will It Drape Like? Capturing Fabric Mechanics from Depth Images

Carlos Rodriguez-Pardo, Melania Prieto-Martin, Dan Casas +1

We propose a method to estimate the mechanical parameters of fabrics using a casual capture setup with a depth camera. Our approach enables to create mechanically-correct digital r…

SeamlessGAN: Self-Supervised Synthesis of Tileable Texture Maps

Carlos Rodriguez-Pardo, Elena Garces

We present SeamlessGAN, a method capable of automatically generating tileable texture maps from a single input exemplar. In contrast to most existing methods, focused solely on sol…

A Survey on Intrinsic Images: Delving Deep Into Lambert and Beyond

Elena Garces, Carlos Rodriguez-Pardo, Dan Casas +1

Intrinsic imaging or intrinsic image decomposition has traditionally been described as the problem of decomposing an image into two layers: a reflectance, the albedo invariant colo…

Neural Photometry-guided Visual Attribute Transfer

Carlos Rodriguez-Pardo, Elena Garces

We present a deep learning-based method for propagating spatially-varying visual material attributes (e.g. texture maps or image stylizations) to larger samples of the same or simi…

BRDF Estimation of Complex Materials with Nested Learning

Raquel Vidaurre, Dan Casas, Elena Garces +1

The estimation of the optical properties of a material from RGB-images is an important but extremely ill-posed problem in Computer Graphics. While recent works have successfully ap…
