Researchers from Columbia University and Apple Introduce Ferret: A Groundbreaking Multimodal Language Model for Advanced Image Understanding and Description

  How to facilitate spatial knowledge of models is a major research issue in vision-language learning. This dilemma leads to two required capabilities: referencing and grounding. While grounding requires the model to localize the region in line with the provided semantic description, referring asks that the model fully understand the semantics of specific supplied regions….

Google AI and Cornell Researchers Introduce DynIBaR: A New AI Method that Generates Photorealistic Free-Viewpoint Renderings from a Single Video of a Complex and Dynamic Scene

  Over recent years, there has been remarkable progress in computer vision methodologies dedicated to reconstructing and illustrating static 3D scenes by leveraging neural radiance fields (NeRFs). Emerging approaches have tried to extend this capability to dynamic scenes by introducing space-time neural radiance fields, commonly called Dynamic NeRFs. Despite these advancements, challenges persist in adapting…

Chosun University Researchers Introduce a Machine Learning Framework for Precise Localization of Bleached Corals Using Bag-of-Hybrid Visual Feature Classification

  The most diversified marine environment on Earth is said to be found in coral reefs. Over 4,000 kinds of fish may be found in the coral reefs, home to an estimated 25% of all marine life. In coral, underwater parasite algae, or zooxanthellae, produces vibrant calcium carbonate structures known as reefs. When the water…
