Intelligent Design Method (智能设计方法) [Code]

My research interest mainly include computer vision and graphics, intelligent design and their applications, especially edge detection, neural radiance field. The representative papers are highlighted.

Limited by the encoder-decoder architecture, learning-based edge detectors usually have difficulty predicting edge maps that satisfy both correctness and crispness. With the recent success of the diffusion probabilistic model (DPM), we found it is especially suitable for accurate and crisp edge detection...

We study the problem of reconstructing 3D feature curves of an object from a set of calibrated multi-view images. To do so, we learn a neural implicit field representing the density distribution of 3D edges which we refer to as Neural Edge Field (NEF). Inspired by NeRF...

Learning-based edge detection usually suffers from predicting thick edges. Through extensive quantitative study with a new edge crispness measure, we find that noisy human-labeled edges are the main cause of thick predictions...

Learning-based edge detection has hereunto been strongly supervised with pixel-wise annotations which are tedious to obtain manually. We study the problem of self-training edge detection, leveraging the untapped wealth of large-scale unlabeled image datasets...

Increasing artwork plagiarism incidents stresses the urgent need for proper copyright protection on behalf of the creators. The latest development in this context focuses on embedding watermarks via deep encoder-decoder networks...

Template matching is a fundamental task in computer vision and has been studied for decades. It plays an essential role in manufacturing industry...

When viewing ancient artworks, people try to build connections with them to ‘read’ the correct messages from the past. A proper descriptive caption is essential for viewers...
