MicroZoom: Structure-Preserving Detail Synthesis at Extreme Scale

Huy Huynh, Jingwei Ma, Brian Curless +2

We introduce MicroZoom, a generative framework for gigapixel image synthesis at the microscopic scale. Given a standard photograph and a sparse set of consumer-grade microscope clo…

GarmentZoom: Generating Zoomable Images from Garment Listings

Renjie Zhao, Jingwei Ma, Huy Huynh Cao +3

Online product listings for garments often include an overview photo and a close-up to show garment details. However, each photo focuses on either field of view or garment detail,…

COMIC: Agentic Sketch Comedy Generation

Susung Hong, Brian Curless, Ira Kemelmacher-Shlizerman +1

We propose a fully automated AI system that produces short comedic videos similar to sketch shows such as Saturday Night Live. Starting from character references, the system employ…

UltraZoom: Generating Gigapixel Images from Regular Photos

Jingwei Ma, Vivek Jayaram, Brian Curless +2

We present UltraZoom, a system for generating gigapixel-resolution images of objects from casually captured inputs, such as handheld phone photos. Given a full-shot image (global,…

GenEscape: Hierarchical Multi-Agent Generation of Escape Room Puzzles

Mengyi Shan, Brian Curless, Ira Kemelmacher-Shlizerman +1

We challenge text-to-image models with generating escape room puzzle images that are visually appealing, logically solid, and intellectually stimulating. While base image models st…

Generating Fit Check Videos with a Handheld Camera

Bowei Chen, Brian Curless, Ira Kemelmacher-Shlizerman +1

Self-captured full-body videos are popular, but most deployments require mounted cameras, carefully-framed shots, and repeated practice. We propose a more convenient solution that…

How Animals Dance (When You're Not Looking)

Xiaojuan Wang, Aleksander Holynski, Brian Curless +2

We present a framework for generating music-synchronized, choreography aware animal dance videos. Our framework introduces choreography patterns -- structured sequences of motion b…

MusicInfuser: Making Video Diffusion Listen and Dance

Susung Hong, Ira Kemelmacher-Shlizerman, Brian Curless +1

We introduce MusicInfuser, an approach that aligns pre-trained text-to-video diffusion models to generate high-quality dance videos synchronized with specified music tracks. Rather…

Linearly Constrained Diffusion Implicit Models

Vivek Jayaram, Ira Kemelmacher-Shlizerman, Steven M. Seitz +1

We introduce Linearly Constrained Diffusion Implicit Models (CDIM), a fast and accurate approach to solving noisy linear inverse problems using diffusion models. Traditional diffus…

Inverse Painting: Reconstructing The Painting Process

Bowei Chen, Yifan Wang, Brian Curless +2

Given an input painting, we reconstruct a time-lapse video of how it may have been painted. We formulate this as an autoregressive image generation problem, in which an initially b…

Generative Inbetweening: Adapting Image-to-Video Models for Keyframe Interpolation

Xiaojuan Wang, Boyang Zhou, Brian Curless +3

We present a method for generating video sequences with coherent motion between a pair of input key frames. We adapt a pretrained large-scale image-to-video diffusion model (origin…

Infinite Texture: Text-guided High Resolution Diffusion Texture Synthesis

Yifan Wang, Aleksander Holynski, Brian L. Curless +1

We present Infinite Texture, a method for generating arbitrarily large texture images from a text prompt. Our approach fine-tunes a diffusion model on a single texture, and learns…

Don't Look at the Camera: Achieving Perceived Eye Contact

Alice Gao, Samyukta Jayakumar, Marcello Maniglia +4

We consider the question of how to best achieve the perception of eye contact when a person is captured by camera and then rendered on a 2D display. For single subjects photographe…

Generative Powers of Ten

Xiaojuan Wang, Janne Kontkanen, Brian Curless +6

We present a method that uses a text-to-image model to generate consistent content across multiple image scales, enabling extreme semantic zooms into a scene, e.g., ranging from a…

HRTF Estimation in the Wild

Vivek Jayaram, Ira Kemelmacher-Shlizerman, Steven M. Seitz

Head Related Transfer Functions (HRTFs) play a crucial role in creating immersive spatial audio experiences. However, HRTFs differ significantly from person to person, and traditio…

Animating Street View

Mengyi Shan, Brian Curless, Ira Kemelmacher-Shlizerman +1

We present a system that automatically brings street view imagery to life by populating it with naturally behaving, animated pedestrians and vehicles. Our approach is to remove exi…
