Geometry without Position? When Positional Embeddings Help and Hurt Spatial Reasoning

Jian Shi, Michael Birsak, Wenqing Cui +2

This paper revisits the role of positional embeddings (PEs) within vision transformers (ViTs) from a geometric perspective. We show that PEs are not mere token indices but effectiv…

MatCLIP: Light- and Shape-Insensitive Assignment of PBR Material Models

Michael Birsak, John Femiani, Biao Zhang +1

Assigning realistic materials to 3D models remains a significant challenge in computer graphics. We propose MatCLIP, a novel method that extracts shape- and lighting-insensitive de…

InstructEdit: Improving Automatic Masks for Diffusion-based Image Editing With User Instructions

Qian Wang, Biao Zhang, Michael Birsak +1

Recent works have explored text-guided image editing using diffusion models and generated edited images based on text prompts. However, the models struggle to accurately locate the…

MDP: A Generalized Framework for Text-Guided Image Editing by Manipulating the Diffusion Path

Qian Wang, Biao Zhang, Michael Birsak +1

Image generation using diffusion can be controlled in multiple ways. In this paper, we systematically analyze the equations of modern generative diffusion networks to propose a fra…

BlobGAN-3D: A Spatially-Disentangled 3D-Aware Generative Model for Indoor Scenes

Qian Wang, Yiqun Wang, Michael Birsak +1

3D-aware image synthesis has attracted increasing interest as it models the 3D nature of our real world. However, performing realistic object-level editing of the generated images…
