The task of view synthesis is essential in both computer vision and graphics, enabling the re-rendering of scenes from various viewpoints akin to the human eye. This capability is vital for everyday tasks and fosters creativity by allowing the envisioning and crafting of immersive objects with depth and perspective. Researchers at Dyson Robotics Lab aim…

Integrating natural language understanding with image perception has led to the development of large vision language models (LVLMs), which showcase remarkable reasoning capabilities. Despite their progress, LVLMs often encounter challenges in accurately anchoring generated text to visual inputs, manifesting as inaccuracies like hallucinations of non-existent scene elements or misinterpretations of object attributes and relationships. Researchers…

The landscape of image segmentation has been profoundly transformed by the introduction of the Segment Anything Model (SAM), a paradigm known for its remarkable zero-shot segmentation capability. SAM’s deployment across a wide array of applications, from augmented reality to data annotation, underscores its utility. However, SAM’s computational intensity, particularly its image encoder’s demand of 2973…
