Loki: Representation over Architecture for Diffusion-Based Portrait Animation
Pouyan Navard, Sernam Lim
Portrait animation transfers a driver clip's facial expression and head pose onto a single reference image while preserving the reference's identity. State-of-the-art diffusion sys…
SeamCam: Quantifying Seamless Camouflage via Multi-Cue Visual Detectability
Amin Karimi Monsefi, Abolfazl Meyarian, Mridul Khurana +6
Animals are described as effectively camouflaged when they blend seamlessly with their surrounding, yet no standardized quantitative measure of this seamlessness exists. We address…
LLaVA-LE: Large Language-and-Vision Assistant for Lunar Exploration
Gokce Inal, Pouyan Navard, Alper Yilmaz
Recent advances in multimodal vision-language models (VLMs) have enabled joint reasoning over visual and textual information, yet their application to planetary science remains lar…
ERDES: A Benchmark Video Dataset for Retinal Detachment and Macular Status Classification in Ocular Ultrasound
Yasemin Ozkut, Pouyan Navard, Srikar Adhikari +4
Retinal detachment (RD) is a vision-threatening condition that requires prompt intervention to preserve sight. A critical factor in treatment urgency and visual prognosis is macula…
KnobGen: Controlling the Sophistication of Artwork in Sketch-Based Diffusion Models
Pouyan Navard, Amin Karimi Monsefi, Mengxi Zhou +3
Recent advances in diffusion models have significantly improved text-to-image (T2I) generation, but they often struggle to balance fine-grained precision with high-level control. M…
