PhysTalk: Language-driven Real-time Physics in 3D Gaussian Scenes
Luca Collorone, Mert Kiray, Indro Spinelli +2
Realistic visual simulations are omnipresent, yet their creation requires computing time, rendering, and expert animation knowledge. Open-vocabulary visual effects generation from…
UnReflectAnything: RGB-Only Highlight Removal by Rendering Synthetic Specular Supervision
Alberto Rota, Mert Kiray, Mert Asim Karaoglu +4
Specular highlights distort appearance, obscure texture, and hinder geometric reasoning in both natural and surgical imagery. We present UnReflectAnything, an RGB-only framework th…
Dropping the D: RGB-D SLAM Without the Depth Sensor
Mert Kiray, Alican Karaomer, Benjamin Busam
We present DropD-SLAM, a real-time monocular SLAM system that achieves RGB-D-level accuracy without relying on depth sensors. The system replaces active depth input with three pret…
MS-CLR: Multi-Skeleton Contrastive Learning for Human Action Recognition
Mert Kiray, Alvaro Ritter, Nassir Navab +1
Contrastive learning has gained significant attention in skeleton-based action recognition for its ability to learn robust representations from unlabeled data. However, existing me…
PromptVFX: Text-Driven Fields for Open-World 3D Gaussian Animation
Mert Kiray, Paul Uhlenbruck, Nassir Navab +1
Visual effects (VFX) are key to immersion in modern films, games, and AR/VR. Creating 3D effects requires specialized expertise and training in 3D animation software and can be tim…
