• Abstract: Non-line-of-sight (NLOS) imaging, recovering the hidden volume from indirect reflections, has attracted increasing attention due to its potential applications. Despite promising results, existing NLOS reconstruction approaches are constrained by the reliance on empirical physical priors, e.g., single fixed path compensation. Moreover, these approaches still possess limited generalization ability, particularly when dealing with scenes at a low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). To overcome the above problems, we introduce a novel learning-based solution, comprising two key designs: Learnable Path Compensation (LPC) and Adaptive Phasor Field (APF). The LPC applies tailored path compensation coefficients to adapt to different objects in the scene, effectively reducing light wave attenuation, especially in distant regions. Meanwhile, the APF learns the precise Gaussian window of the illumination function for the phasor field, dynamically selecting the relevant spectrum band of the transient measurement. Experimental validations demonstrate that our proposed approach, only trained on synthetic data, exhibits the capability to seamlessly generalize across various real-world datasets captured by different imaging systems and characterized by low SNRs.

  Low-light image enhancement (LIE) aims at precisely and efficiently recovering an image degraded in poor illumination environments. Recent advanced LIE techniques are using deep neural networks, which require lots of low-normal light image pairs, network parameters, and computational resources. We devise a novel unsupervised LIE framework based on diffusion priors and lookup tables to achieve efficient low-light image recovery.

  Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) have become indispensable tools in computer vision and natural language processing.

To rectify these biases and redirect the model's focus toward vision information, we introduce two simple, training-free strategies.

We introduce LFSRDiff, the first diffusion-based LF image SR model, by incorporating the LF disentanglement mechanism.

  Time-resolved non-line-of-sight (NLOS) imaging methods reconstruct hidden scenes by inverting the optical paths of indirect illumination measured at visible relay surfaces. We introduce a fully-differentiable end-to-end NLOS inverse rendering pipeline that self-calibrates the imaging parameters during the reconstruction of hidden scenes. We demonstrate the robustness of our method to consistently reconstruct geometry and albedo, even under significant noise levels.
