In recent years, substantial progress has been achieved in learning-based reconstruction of 3D objects. At the same time, generative models were proposed that can generate highly realistic images. However, despite this success in these closely related tasks, texture reconstruction of 3D objects has received little attention from the research community and state-of-the-art methods are either limited to comparably low resolution or constrained experimental setups. A major reason for these limitations is that common representations of texture are inefficient or hard to interface for modern deep learning techniques. In this paper, we propose Texture Fields, a novel texture representation which is based on regressing a continuous 3D function parameterized with a neural network. Our approach circumvents limiting factors like shape discretization and parameterization, as the proposed texture representation is independent of the shape representation of the 3D object. We show that Texture Fields are able to represent high frequency texture and naturally blend with modern deep learning techniques. Experimentally, we find that Texture Fields compare favorably to state-of-the-art methods for conditional texture reconstruction of 3D objects and enable learning of probabilistic generative models for texturing unseen 3D models. We believe that Texture Fields will become an important building block for the next generation of generative 3D models.

Recent literature has shown that features obtained from supervised training of CNNs may over-emphasize texture rather than encoding high-level information. In self-supervised learning in particular, texture as a low-level cue may provide shortcuts th at prevent the network from learning higher level representations. To address these problems we propose to use classic methods based on anisotropic diffusion to augment training using images with suppressed texture. This simple method helps retain important edge information and suppress texture at the same time. We empirically show that our method achieves state-of-the-art results on object detection and image classification with eight diverse datasets in either supervised or self-supervised learning tasks such as MoCoV2 and Jigsaw. Our method is particularly effective for transfer learning tasks and we observed improved performance on five standard transfer learning datasets. The large improvements (up to 11.49%) on the Sketch-ImageNet dataset, DTD dataset and additional visual analyses with saliency maps suggest that our approach helps in learning better representations that better transfer.
Learning-based image compression was shown to achieve a competitive performance with state-of-the-art transform-based codecs. This motivated the development of new learning-based visual compression standards such as JPEG-AI. Of particular interest to these emerging standards is the development of learning-based image compression systems targeting both humans and machines. This paper is concerned with learning-based compression schemes whose compressed-domain representations can be utilized to perform visual processing and computer vision tasks directly in the compressed domain. Such a characteristic has been incorporated as part of the scope and requirements of the new emerging JPEG-AI standard. In our work, we adopt the learning-based JPEG-AI framework for performing material and texture recognition using the compressed-domain latent representation at varing bit-rates. For comparison, performance results are presented using compressed but fully decoded images in the pixel domain as well as original uncompressed images. The obtained performance results show that even though decoded images can degrade the classification performance of the model trained with original images, retraining the model with decoded images will largely reduce the performance gap for the adopted texture dataset. It is also shown that the compressed-domain classification can yield a competitive performance in terms of Top-1 and Top-5 accuracy while using a smaller reduced-complexity classification model.
We introduce one-shot texture segmentation: the task of segmenting an input image containing multiple textures given a patch of a reference texture. This task is designed to turn the problem of texture-based perceptual grouping into an objective benc hmark. We show that it is straight-forward to generate large synthetic data sets for this task from a relatively small number of natural textures. In particular, this task can be cast as a self-supervised problem thereby alleviating the need for massive amounts of manually annotated data necessary for traditional segmentation tasks. In this paper we introduce and study two concrete data sets: a dense collage of textures (CollTex) and a cluttered texturized Omniglot data set. We show that a baseline model trained on these synthesized data is able to generalize to natural images and videos without further fine-tuning, suggesting that the learned image representations are useful for higher-level vision tasks.
This paper investigates a novel task of generating texture images from perceptual descriptions. Previous work on texture generation focused on either synthesis from examples or generation from procedural models. Generating textures from perceptual at tributes have not been well studied yet. Meanwhile, perceptual attributes, such as directionality, regularity and roughness are important factors for human observers to describe a texture. In this paper, we propose a joint deep network model that combines adversarial training and perceptual feature regression for texture generation, while only random noise and user-defined perceptual attributes are required as input. In this model, a preliminary trained convolutional neural network is essentially integrated with the adversarial framework, which can drive the generated textures to possess given perceptual attributes. An important aspect of the proposed model is that, if we change one of the input perceptual features, the corresponding appearance of the generated textures will also be changed. We design several experiments to validate the effectiveness of the proposed method. The results show that the proposed method can produce high quality texture images with desired perceptual properties.
Dynamic texture (DT) exhibits statistical stationarity in the spatial domain and stochastic repetitiveness in the temporal dimension, indicating that different frames of DT possess a high similarity correlation that is critical prior knowledge. Howev er, existing methods cannot effectively learn a promising synthesis model for high-dimensional DT from a small number of training data. In this paper, we propose a novel DT synthesis method, which makes full use of similarity prior knowledge to address this issue. Our method bases on the proposed kernel similarity embedding, which not only can mitigate the high-dimensionality and small sample issues, but also has the advantage of modeling nonlinear feature relationship. Specifically, we first raise two hypotheses that are essential for DT model to generate new frames using similarity correlation. Then, we integrate kernel learning and extreme learning machine into a unified synthesis model to learn kernel similarity embedding for representing DT. Extensive experiments on DT videos collected from the internet and two benchmark datasets, i.e., Gatech Graphcut Textures and Dyntex, demonstrate that the learned kernel similarity embedding can effectively exhibit the discriminative representation for DT. Accordingly, our method is capable of preserving the long-term temporal continuity of the synthesized DT sequences with excellent sustainability and generalization. Meanwhile, it effectively generates realistic DT videos with fast speed and low computation, compared with the state-of-the-art methods.
