Variational Disparity Estimation Framework for Plenoptic Image
This paper presents a computational framework for accurately estimating the
disparity map of plenoptic images. The proposed framework is based on the
variational principle and provides intrinsic sub-pixel precision. The
light-field motion tensor introduced in the framework allows us to combine
advanced robust data terms as well as provides explicit treatments for
different color channels. A warping strategy is embedded in our framework for
tackling the large displacement problem. We also show that by applying a simple
regularization term and a guided median filtering, the accuracy of displacement
field at occluded area could be greatly enhanced. We demonstrate the excellent
performance of the proposed framework by intensive comparisons with the Lytro
software and contemporary approaches on both synthetic and real-world datasets
Deep Person Generation: A Survey from the Perspective of Face, Pose and Cloth Synthesis
Deep person generation has attracted extensive research attention due to its
wide applications in virtual agents, video conferencing, online shopping and
art/movie production. With the advancement of deep learning, visual appearances
(face, pose, cloth) of a person image can be easily generated or manipulated on
demand. In this survey, we first summarize the scope of person generation, and
then systematically review recent progress and technical trends in deep person
generation, covering three major tasks: talking-head generation (face),
pose-guided person generation (pose) and garment-oriented person generation
(cloth). More than two hundred papers are covered for a thorough overview, and
the milestone works are highlighted to witness the major technical
breakthrough. Based on these fundamental tasks, a number of applications are
investigated, e.g., virtual fitting, digital human, generative data
augmentation. We hope this survey could shed some light on the future prospects
of deep person generation, and provide a helpful foundation for full
applications towards digital human
