Selected 5 Papers

MOFA-Video: Controllable Image Animation via Generative Motion Field Adaptions in Frozen Image-to-Video Diffusion Model
Muyao Niu, Xiaodong Cun, Xintao Wang, Yong Zhang, Ying Shan, Yinqiang Zheng
ECCV, 2024
project page / paper / code
We introduce MOFA-Video to adapt motions from different domains to the frozen Video Diffusion Model. MOFA-Video can effectively animate a single image using various types of control signals, including trajectories, keypoint sequences, and their combinations.
AniCrafter: Customizing Realistic Human-Centric Animation via Avatar-Background Conditioning in Video Diffusion Models
Muyao Niu, Mingdeng Cao, Yifan Zhan, Qingtian Zhu, Mingze Ma, Jiancheng Zhao, Yanhong Zeng, Zhihang Zhong, Xiao Sun, Yinqiang Zheng
arXiv, 2025
project page / paper / code
We leverage "3DGS Avatar + Background Video" as guidance for the video diffusion model to insert and animate anyone into any scene following given motion sequence.
MAD-Avatar: Motion-Aware Animatable Gaussian Avatars Deblurring
Muyao Niu, Yifan Zhan, Qingtian Zhu, Zhuoxiao Li, Wei Wang, Zhihang Zhong, Xiao Sun, Yinqiang Zheng
CVPR, 2026
paper / code
We introduce an innovative method for deriving sharp intrinsic 3D human Gaussian avatars from blurry videos via 3D human motion model and the physics-based blur formation model.
Visibility Constrained Wide-band Illumination Spectrum Design for Seeing-in-the-Dark
Muyao Niu, Zhuoxiao Li, Zhihang Zhong, Yinqiang Zheng
CVPR, 2023
paper / code
We designed an optimal illumination spectrum in the VIS-NIR range by considering human vision constraints, which significantly improves translation performance. A fully differentiable model was proposed, which includes the imaging process, human visual perception, and the enhancement network.
RS-NeRF: Neural Radiance Fields from Rolling Shutter Images
Muyao Niu, Tong Chen, Yifan Zhan, Zhuoxiao Li, Xiang Ji, Yinqiang Zheng
ECCV, 2024
paper / code
We improve NeRF to consider the RS distortions with two technologies: camera trajectory smoothness regularization and multi-sampling strategy.
