• Abstract summary: This paper presents the first segment-then-restore pipeline for restoring the videos of dynamic scenes in turbulent environment. We leverage mean optical flow with an unsupervised motion segmentation method to separate dynamic and static scene components prior to restoration. Benchmarked against existing restoration methods, our approach restores most of the geometric distortion and enhances sharpness for videos.

• Abstract: Tackling image degradation due to atmospheric turbulence, particularly in dynamic environment, remains a challenge for long-range imaging systems. Existing techniques have been primarily designed for static scenes or scenes with small motion. This paper presents the first segment-then-restore pipeline for restoring the videos of dynamic scenes in turbulent environment. We leverage mean optical flow with an unsupervised motion segmentation method to separate dynamic and static scene components prior to restoration. After camera shake compensation and segmentation, we introduce foreground/background enhancement leveraging the statistics of turbulence strength and a transformer model trained on a novel noise-based procedural turbulence generator for fast dataset augmentation. Benchmarked against existing restoration methods, our approach restores most of the geometric distortion and enhances sharpness for videos. We make our code, simulator, and data publicly available to advance the field of video restoration from turbulence: riponcs.github.io/TurbSegRes

  We present BTimer, the first motion-aware feed-forward model for real-time reconstruction and novel view synthesis of dynamic scenes. Our approach reconstructs the full scene in a 3D Gaussian Splatting representation at a given target ('bullet') timestamp by aggregating information from all the context frames. Given a casual monocular dynamic video, BTimer reconstructs a bullet-time scene within 150ms while reaching state-of-the-art performance on both static and dynamic scene datasets.

  We propose a novel approach to video-based motion segmentation to identify the components of a scene that are moving w.r.t. a fixed world frame. Our simple but effective iterative method, RoMo, combines optical flow and epipolar cues with a pre-trained video segmentation model. More importantly, the combination of an off-the-shelf SfM pipeline with our segmentation masks establishes a new state-of-the-art on camera calibration for scenes with dynamic content, outperforming existing methods by a substantial margin.

• Compressing Scene Dynamics: A Generative Approach [26.838900035206613]
  This paper proposes to learn generative priors from the motion patterns instead of video contents for generative video compression. The priors are derived from small motion dynamics in common scenes such as swinging trees in the wind and floating boat on the sea. A novel generative scene dynamics compression framework is built to realize ultra-low bit-rate communication and high-quality reconstruction for diverse scene contents.

  CustomCrafter preserves the model's motion generation and conceptual combination abilities without additional video and fine-tuning to recovery. For motion generation, we observed that VDMs tend to restore the motion of video in the early stage of denoising. In the later stage of denoising, we restore this module to repair the appearance details of the specified subject.

  We study the problem of decomposing the observed 3D scene into a static background and a dynamic foreground. This task is reminiscent of the classic background subtraction problem, but is significantly harder because all parts of the scene, static and dynamic, generate a large apparent motion. In particular, we consider egocentric videos and further separate the dynamic component into objects and the actor that observes and moves them.
