This paper presents EVSplitting, an efficient and visually consistent splitting algorithm for 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS). It is designed to make operating 3DGS as easy and effective as other 3D explicit representations, readily for industrial ...

Texture plays a vital role in enhancing visual richness in both real photographs and computer-generated imagery. However, the process of editing textures often involves laborious and repetitive manual adjustments of textons, which are the recurring local ...

In each step of the creative writing process, writers must grapple with their creative goals and individual perspectives. This process affects the writer’s sense of authenticity and their engagement with the written output. Fluent text generation by AIs ...

Humans are remarkably sensitive to the alignment of visual events with other stimuli, which makes synchronization one of the hardest tasks in video editing. A key observation of our work is that most of the alignment we do involves salient localizable ...

Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) have shown promising results in novel view synthesis. While achieving state-of-the-art rendering results, NeRF usually encodes all properties related to geometry and appearance of the scene together into several MLP (Multi-...

Pretrained language models have been shown to be effective in many software-related generation tasks; however, they are not well-suited for editing tasks as they are not designed to reason about edits. To address this, we propose a novel pretraining ...

Picking numbers is arguably the most frequently performed input task on smartwatches. This paper presents three new methods for picking numbers on smartwatches by performing directional swipes, twisting the wrist, and varying contact force on the screen. ...

We introduce ‘Colors - One’, a perceptually based color photo editing app built for the Apple ecosystem. The app’s core algorithm augments standard Poisson image editing methods to allow the prediction and editing of perceived image color, rather than ...

This document provides a set of guidelines for working groups that choose to use GitHub for their work.

Increased polarization and partisanship have become a consistent state of politics, media, and society, especially in the United States. As many news publishers are perceived as “biased” and some others have come under attack as being “fake news”, ...

Participatory Video (PV) is emerging as a rich and valuable method for monitoring and evaluating (M & E) projects in the International Development sector. Although shown to be useful for engaging communities within short-term monitoring exercises or ...

This article introduces Film Editing Patterns (FEP), a language to formalize film editing practices and stylistic choices found in movies. FEP constructs are constraints, expressed over one or more shots from a movie sequence, that characterize changes ...

A fully automatic method for descreening halftone images is presented based on convolutional neural networks with end-to-end learning. Incorporating context level information, the proposed method not only removes halftone artifacts but also synthesizes ...

Systematically biased editing, persistently maintained, can occur on Wikipedia while nominally following guidelines. Techniques for biasing an entry include deleting positive material, adding negative material, using a one-sided selection of sources, ...

Braille input enables fast nonvisual entry speeds on mobile touchscreen devices. Yet, the lack of tactile cues commonly results in typing errors, which are hard to correct. We propose Hybrid-Brailler, an input solution that combines physical and ...

The k-nearest neighbor classifier is one of the most commonly used non-parametric classifiers in pattern recognition fields. It received wide interest among researchers due to its effectiveness in its implementation and simplicity. However, the k-...

The advent of affordable virtual reality (VR) displays and 360° video cameras has sparked an interest in bringing cinematic experiences from the screen and into VR. However, it remains uncertain whether traditional approaches to filmmaking can be ...

In this paper we argue that mobile, design, content, and social media technologies are fundamentally transforming the role of the content developer in the workplace away from the originator of content and toward the more agile and iterative role of ...

'Voices from the Savannah' is a prestigious 'Coffee Table' book featuring many of the most important opinions involved in East African Wildlife conservation such as Dame Jane Goodall and Dr Dame Daphne Sheldrick. The author, Gary Roberts, considered it ...

We present an approach for adding directed gaze movements to characters animated using full-body motion capture. Our approach provides a comprehensive authoring solution that automatically infers plausible directed gaze from the captured body motion, ...
