Benchmarking Video Frame Interpolation

no code implementations25 Mar 2024 Simon Kiefhaber, Simon Niklaus, Feng Liu, Simone Schaub-Meyer

Video frame interpolation, the task of synthesizing new frames in between two or more given ones, is becoming an increasingly popular research target.

Explorative Inbetweening of Time and Space

no code implementations21 Mar 2024 Haiwen Feng, Zheng Ding, Zhihao Xia, Simon Niklaus, Victoria Abrevaya, Michael J. Black, Xuaner Zhang

We introduce bounded generation as a generalized task to control video generation to synthesize arbitrary camera and subject motion based only on a given start and end frame.

Fast View Synthesis of Casual Videos

no code implementations4 Dec 2023 Yao-Chih Lee, Zhoutong Zhang, Kevin Blackburn-Matzen, Simon Niklaus, Jianming Zhang, Jia-Bin Huang, Feng Liu

Specifically, we build a global static scene model using an extended plane-based scene representation to synthesize temporally coherent novel video.

Video Frame Interpolation with Many-to-many Splatting and Spatial Selective Refinement

no code implementations29 Oct 2023 Ping Hu, Simon Niklaus, Lu Zhang, Stan Sclaroff, Kate Saenko

In this work, we first propose a fully differentiable Many-to-Many (M2M) splatting framework to interpolate frames efficiently.

Towards Accurate Reconstruction of 3D Scene Shape from A Single Monocular Image

1 code implementation28 Aug 2022 Wei Yin, Jianming Zhang, Oliver Wang, Simon Niklaus, Simon Chen, Yifan Liu, Chunhua Shen

To do so, we propose a two-stage framework that first predicts depth up to an unknown scale and shift from a single monocular image, and then exploits 3D point cloud data to predict the depth shift and the camera's focal length that allow us to recover 3D scene shapes.

Towards Domain-agnostic Depth Completion

1 code implementation29 Jul 2022 Guangkai Xu, Wei Yin, Jianming Zhang, Oliver Wang, Simon Niklaus, Simon Chen, Jia-Wang Bian

Our method leverages a data-driven prior in the form of a single image depth prediction network trained on large-scale datasets, the output of which is used as an input to our model.

Many-to-many Splatting for Efficient Video Frame Interpolation

1 code implementation CVPR 2022 Ping Hu, Simon Niklaus, Stan Sclaroff, Kate Saenko

Motion-based video frame interpolation commonly relies on optical flow to warp pixels from the inputs to the desired interpolation instant.

Learning to Recover 3D Scene Shape from a Single Image

1 code implementation CVPR 2021 Wei Yin, Jianming Zhang, Oliver Wang, Simon Niklaus, Long Mai, Simon Chen, Chunhua Shen

Despite significant progress in monocular depth estimation in the wild, recent state-of-the-art methods cannot be used to recover accurate 3D scene shape due to an unknown depth shift induced by shift-invariant reconstruction losses used in mixed-data depth prediction training, and possible unknown camera focal length.

Neural Scene Flow Fields for Space-Time View Synthesis of Dynamic Scenes

3 code implementations CVPR 2021 Zhengqi Li, Simon Niklaus, Noah Snavely, Oliver Wang

We present a method to perform novel view and time synthesis of dynamic scenes, requiring only a monocular video with known camera poses as input.

Revisiting Adaptive Convolutions for Video Frame Interpolation

Learned Dual-View Reflection Removal

no code implementations1 Oct 2020 Simon Niklaus, Xuaner Cecilia Zhang, Jonathan T. Barron, Neal Wadhwa, Rahul Garg, Feng Liu, Tianfan Xue

Traditional reflection removal algorithms either use a single image as input, which suffers from intrinsic ambiguities, or use multiple images from a moving camera, which is inconvenient for users.

Softmax Splatting for Video Frame Interpolation

2 code implementations CVPR 2020 Simon Niklaus, Feng Liu

In contrast, how to perform forward warping has seen less attention, partly due to additional challenges such as resolving the conflict of mapping multiple pixels to the same target location in a differentiable way.

3D Ken Burns Effect from a Single Image

According to this depth estimate, our framework then maps the input image to a point cloud and synthesizes the resulting video frames by rendering the point cloud from the corresponding camera positions.

Context-aware Synthesis for Video Frame Interpolation

no code implementations CVPR 2018 Simon Niklaus, Feng Liu

Finally, unlike common approaches that blend the pre-warped frames, our method feeds them and their context maps to a video frame synthesis neural network to produce the interpolated frame in a context-aware fashion.
