While I'm copying yesterday's photos to my computer, I'll just share some more photos from my recent blog post.
I tried to put the bushes at the lake as framing elements into the #photos. I think it worked out quite okay. -- And while we were on this walk I imagined all the time where and how this could look at sunset or with fog.
Maybe I should go there a again a couple o…

MetaLab: Few-Shot Game Changer for Image Recognition
Difficult few-shot image recognition has significant application prospects, yet remaining the substantial technical gaps with the conventional large-scale image recognition. In this paper, we have proposed an efficient original method for few-shot image recognition, called CIELab-Guided Coherent Meta-Learning (MetaLab). Structurally, our MetaLab comprises two collaborative neural networks: LabNet, which can perform domain transformation for the CIELab color space and extract rich grouped featur…

Single-shot HDR using conventional image sensor shutter functions and optical randomization
High-dynamic-range (HDR) imaging is an essential technique for overcoming the dynamic range limits of image sensors. The classic method relies on multiple exposures, which slows capture time, resulting in motion artifacts when imaging dynamic scenes. Single-shot HDR imaging alleviates this issue by encoding HDR data into a single exposure, then computationally recovering it. Many established methods use strong image priors to recover improperly exposed image detail. These approaches struggle wi…

GPT-IMAGE-EDIT-1.5M: A Million-Scale, GPT-Generated Image Dataset
Recent advancements in large multimodal models like GPT-4o have set a new standard for high-fidelity, instruction-guided image editing. However, the proprietary nature of these models and their training data creates a significant barrier for open-source research. To bridge this gap, we introduce GPT-IMAGE-EDIT-1.5M, a publicly available, large-scale image-editing corpus containing more than 1.5 million high-quality triplets (instruction, source image, edited image). We systematically construct …
