Publications

clean-usnob FlashEval: Towards Fast and Accurate Evaluation of Text-to-image Diffusion Generative Models
Lin Zhao*, Tianchen Zhao*, Zinan Lin, Xuefei Ning, Guohao Dai, Huazhong Yang, Yu Wang
Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR), 2024

We propose FlashEval, which can identify a representative subset to speed up the evaluation of text-to-image Diffusion models (10x). [project] [code] [paper]

clean-usnob THInImg: Cross-modal Steganography for Presenting Talking Heads in Images
Lin Zhao, Hongxuan Li, Xuefei Ning, Xinru Jiang
Winter Conference on Applications of Computer Vision (WACV), 2024

We propose THInImg, which can present up to 80 seconds of high quality talking-head video (including audio) in an identity image with 160×160 resolution. [paper]

clean-usnob Deep Symmetric Network for Underexposed Image Enhancement with Recurrent Attentional Learning
Lin Zhao*, Shaoping Lu*, Tao Chen, Zhenglu Yang, Ariel Shamir
International Conference on Computer Vision (ICCV), 2021

We propose an invertible framework to solve both underexposed image enhancement and low-light image enhancement problems in a unified structure. [project] [code] [paper]
