Point-Query Quadtree for Crowd Counting, Localization, and More

Chengxin Liu, Hao Lu, Zhiguo Cao +1

We show that crowd counting can be viewed as a decomposable point querying process. This formulation enables arbitrary points as input and jointly reasons whether the points are cr…

Make-It-4D: Synthesizing a Consistent Long-Term Dynamic Scene Video from a Single Image

Liao Shen, Xingyi Li, Huiqiang Sun +4

We study the problem of synthesizing a long-term dynamic video from only a single image. This is challenging since it requires consistent visual content movements given large camer…

Diffusion-Augmented Depth Prediction with Sparse Annotations

Jiaqi Li, Yiran Wang, Zihao Huang +4

Depth estimation aims to predict dense depth maps. In autonomous driving scenes, sparsity of annotations makes the task challenging. Supervised models produce concave objects due t…

Fast Full-frame Video Stabilization with Iterative Optimization

Weiyue Zhao, Xin Li, Zhan Peng +4

Video stabilization refers to the problem of transforming a shaky video into a visually pleasing one. The question of how to strike a good trade-off between visual quality and comp…

Box-DETR: Understanding and Boxing Conditional Spatial Queries

Wenze Liu, Hao Lu, Yuliang Liu +1

Conditional spatial queries are recently introduced into DEtection TRansformer (DETR) to accelerate convergence. In DAB-DETR, such queries are modulated by the so-called conditiona…

On Point Affiliation in Feature Upsampling

Wenze Liu, Hao Lu, Yuliang Liu +1

We introduce the notion of point affiliation into feature upsampling. By abstracting a feature map into non-overlapped semantic clusters formed by points of identical semantic mean…

NVDS+: Towards Efficient and Versatile Neural Stabilizer for Video Depth Estimation

Yiran Wang, Min Shi, Jiaqi Li +7

Video depth estimation aims to infer temporally consistent depth. One approach is to finetune a single-image model on each video with geometry constraints, which proves inefficient…

Learning Probabilistic Coordinate Fields for Robust Correspondences

Weiyue Zhao, Hao Lu, Xinyi Ye +2

We introduce Probabilistic Coordinate Fields (PCFs), a novel geometric-invariant coordinate representation for image correspondence problems. In contrast to standard Cartesian coor…

A2B: Anchor to Barycentric Coordinate for Robust Correspondence

Weiyue Zhao, Hao Lu, Zhiguo Cao +1

There is a long-standing problem of repeated patterns in correspondence problems, where mismatches frequently occur because of inherent ambiguity. The unique position information a…

Vision Transformer Off-the-Shelf: A Surprising Baseline for Few-Shot Class-Agnostic Counting

Zhicheng Wang, Liwen Xiao, Zhiguo Cao +1

Class-agnostic counting (CAC) aims to count objects of interest from a query image given few exemplars. This task is typically addressed by extracting the features of query image a…
