PixColor: Pixel Recursive Colorization
We propose a novel approach to automatically produce multiple colorized
versions of a grayscale image. Our method results from the observation that the
task of automated colorization is relatively easy given a low-resolution
version of the color image. We first train a conditional PixelCNN to generate a
low resolution color for a given grayscale image. Then, given the generated
low-resolution color image and the original grayscale image as inputs, we train
a second CNN to generate a high-resolution colorization of an image. We
demonstrate that our approach produces more diverse and plausible colorizations
than existing methods, as judged by human raters in a "Visual Turing Test"
Temporal shape super-resolution by intra-frame motion encoding using high-fps structured light
One of the solutions of depth imaging of moving scene is to project a static
pattern on the object and use just a single image for reconstruction. However,
if the motion of the object is too fast with respect to the exposure time of
the image sensor, patterns on the captured image are blurred and reconstruction
fails. In this paper, we impose multiple projection patterns into each single
captured image to realize temporal super resolution of the depth image
sequences. With our method, multiple patterns are projected onto the object
with higher fps than possible with a camera. In this case, the observed pattern
varies depending on the depth and motion of the object, so we can extract
temporal information of the scene from each single image. The decoding process
is realized using a learning-based approach where no geometric calibration is
needed. Experiments confirm the effectiveness of our method where sequential
shapes are reconstructed from a single image. Both quantitative evaluations and
comparisons with recent techniques were also conducted.Comment: 9 pages, Published at the International Conference on Computer Vision

Building Proteins in a Day: Efficient 3D Molecular Reconstruction
Discovering the 3D atomic structure of molecules such as proteins and viruses
is a fundamental research problem in biology and medicine. Electron
Cryomicroscopy (Cryo-EM) is a promising vision-based technique for structure
estimation which attempts to reconstruct 3D structures from 2D images. This
paper addresses the challenging problem of 3D reconstruction from 2D Cryo-EM
images. A new framework for estimation is introduced which relies on modern
stochastic optimization techniques to scale to large datasets. We also
introduce a novel technique which reduces the cost of evaluating the objective
function during optimization by over five orders or magnitude. The net result
is an approach capable of estimating 3D molecular structure from large scale
datasets in about a day on a single workstation.Comment: To be presented at IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern
