Aesthetic Image Captioning from Weakly-Labelled Photographs
(2019)Aesthetic image captioning (AIC) refers to the multimodal task of generating critical textual feedbacks for photographs. While in natural image captioning (NIC), deep models are trained in an end-to-end manner using ... -
AlphaGAN: Generative adversarial networks for natural image matting
(2018)We present the first generative adversarial network (GAN) for natural image matting. Our novel generator network is trained to predict visually appealing alphas with the addition of the adversarial loss from the discriminator ... -
Automatic Palette Extraction for Image Editing
(2018)Interactive palette based colour editing applications have grown in popularity in recent years, but while many methods propose fast palette extraction techniques, they typically rely on the user to define the number of ... -
Autonomous Tracking For Volumetric Video Sequences
(2021)As a rapidly growing medium, volumetric video is gaining attention beyond academia, reaching industry and creative communities alike. This brings new challenges to reduce the barrier to entry from a technical ... -
Beckett in VR: Exploring Narrative Using Free-Viewpoint Video
(2018)This poster describes a reinterpretation of Samuel Beckett’s theatrical text Playfor virtual reality (VR). It is an aesthetic reflection on practice that follows up an a technical project description submittedto ISMAR 2017 ... -
A Benchmark for 3D Reconstruction from Aerial Imagery in an Urban Environment
(2021)This paper presents a novel benchmark to evaluate 3D reconstruction methods using aerial images in a large- scale urban scenario. In particular, it presents an evaluation of open-source state-of-the-art pipelines for ... -
Bridging the Blue
(Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh: ETC Press, 2020,, 2020)Bridging the Blue is an attempt to harness tech-nology as an enabler of empathy through using its qualities and possibilities to challenge how we listen. Feedback to date suggests that Bridging the the Blue offers an ... -
A Case Study on the Use of Volumetric Video in Augmented Reality for Cultural Heritage
(2020)Interest in the use of augmented reality (AR) is currently growing alongside advances in visual display and 3D reconstruction technologies. With the integration of volumetric video (VV), AR can be enhanced with representations ... -
CatNet: Class Incremental 3D ConvNets for Lifelong Egocentric Gesture Recognition
(2020)Egocentric gestures are the most natural form of communication for humans to interact with wearable devices such as VR/AR helmets and glasses. A major issue in such scenarios for real-world applications is that may easily ... -
Colour Correction for Stereoscopic Omnidirectional Images
(2018)Stereoscopic omnidirectional images (ODI) when viewed with a head-mounted display are a way to generate an immersive experience. Unfortunately, their creation is not an easy process, and different problems can be present ... -
Deep Convolutional Neural Networks for estimating lens distortion parameters
(2019)In this paper we present a convolutional neural network (CNN) to predict multiple lens distortion parameters from a single input image. Unlike other methods, our network is suitable to create high resolution output as ... -
Deep Tone Mapping Operator for High Dynamic Range Images
(2019)A computationally fast tone mapping operator (TMO) that can quickly adapt to a wide spectrum of high dynamic range (HDR) content is quintessential for visualization on varied low dynamic range (LDR) output devices such as ... -
DeepStereoBrush: Interactive Depth Map Creation
(2018)In this paper, we introduce a novel interactive depth map creation approach for image sequences which uses depth-scribbles as input at user-defined keyframes. These scribbled depth values are then propagated within these ... -
Delivery of omnidirectional video using saliency prediction and optimal bitrate allocation
(2020)In this work, we propose and investigate a user-centric framework for the delivery of omnidirectional video (ODV) on VR systems by taking advantage of visual attention (saliency) models for bitrate allocation module. For ... -
Director's cut - A combined dataset for visual attention analysis in cinematic VR content
(2018)Methods of storytelling in cinema have well established conventions that have been built over the course of its history and the development of the format. In 360° film many of the techniques that have formed part of this ... -
Director's Cut - Analysis of Aspects of Interactive Storytelling for VR Films
(2018)In this paper we explore methods that are currently used by professional virtual reality (VR) filmmakers to tell their stories and guide users, we analyze how end-users view 360 degree video in the presence of directional ... -
Director's Cut - Analysis of VR Film Cuts for Interactive Storytelling
(2018)The usage of film cuts, or transitions, is a powerful technique in interactive storytelling to express the film story by leading the viewers attention. To explore how existing transition techniques are currently being ... -
DublinCity: Annotated LiDAR Point Cloud and its Applications
(2019)Scene understanding of full-scale 3D models of an urban area remains a challenging task. While advanced computer vision techniques offer cost-effective approaches to analyse 3D urban elements, a precise and densely ... -
Dynamic Environment Mapping for Augmented Reality Applications on Mobile Devices
(2018)Augmented Reality is a topic of foremost interest nowadays. Its main goal is to seamlessly blend virtual content in real-world scenes. Due to the lack of computational power in mobile devices, rendering a virtual object ... -
Egocentric Gesture Recognition for Head-Mounted AR devices
(2018)Natural interaction with virtual objects in AR/VR environments makes for a smooth user experience. Gestures are a natural extension from real world to augmented space to achieve these interactions. Finding discriminating ...
