K-Buffers: A Plug-in Method for Enhancing Neural Fields with Multiple Buffers

2024

Neural fields are now the central focus of research in 3D vision and computer graphics. Existing methods mainly focus on various scene representations, such as neural points and 3D Gaussians. However, few works have studied …

Perception-Oriented Latent Coding for High-Performance Compressed Domain Semantic Inference

2025 · arXiv (Cornell University)

In recent years, compressed domain semantic inference has primarily relied on learned image coding models optimized for mean squared error (MSE). However, MSE-oriented optimization tends to yield latent spaces with limited semantic richness, which hinders …
