• Abstract: Transposed convolution is crucial for generating high-resolution outputs, yet has received little attention compared to convolution layers. In this work we revisit transposed convolution and introduce a novel layer that allows us to place information in the image selectively and choose the `stroke breadth' at which the image is synthesized, whilst incurring a small additional parameter cost. For this we introduce three ideas: firstly, we regress offsets to the positions where the transpose convolution results are placed; secondly we broadcast the offset weight locations over a learnable neighborhood; and thirdly we use a compact parametrization to share weights and restrict offsets. We show that simply substituting upsampling operators with our novel layer produces substantial improvements across tasks as diverse as instance segmentation, object detection, semantic segmentation, generative image modeling, and 3D magnetic resonance image enhancement, while outperforming all existing variants of transposed convolutions. Our novel layer can be used as a drop-in replacement for 2D and 3D upsampling operators and the code will be publicly available.

  We propose a novel approach to improve NeRF's performance with sparse inputs. We first adopt a voxel-based ray sampling strategy to ensure that the sampled rays intersect with a certain voxel in 3D space. We then randomly sample additional points within the voxel and apply a Transformer to infer the properties of other points on each ray, which are then incorporated into the volume rendering.

  In this work, we present a novel meta-auxiliary framework, while leveraging the newly developed 3D GANs as generator. In the first stage, we invert the input image to an editable latent code using off-the-shelf inversion techniques. The auxiliary network is proposed to refine the generator parameters with the given image as input, which both predicts offsets for weights of convolutional layers and sampling positions of volume rendering. In the second stage, we perform meta-learning to fast adapt the auxiliary network to the input image, then the final reconstructed image is synthesized via the meta-learned auxiliary network.
