| 2025 | Pursuing Temporal-Consistent Video Virtual Try-On via Dynamic Pose InteractionabstractVideo virtual try-on aims to seamlessly dress a subject in a video with a specific garment. The primary challenge involves preserving the visual authenticity of the garment while dynamically adapting to the pose and physique of the subject. While existing methods have predominantly focused on image-based virtual try-on, extending these techniques directly to videos often results in temporal inconsistencies. Most current video virtual try-on approaches alleviate this challenge by incorporating temporal modules, yet still overlook the critical spatiotemporal pose interactions between human and garment. Effective pose interactions in videos should not only consider spatial alignment between human and garment poses in each frame but also account for the temporal dynamics of human poses throughout the entire video. With such motivation, we propose a new framework, namely Dynamic Pose Interaction Diffusion Models (DPIDM), to leverage diffusion models to delve into dynamic pose interactions for video virtual try-on. Technically, DPIDM introduces a skeleton-based pose adapter to integrate synchronized human and garment poses into the denoising network. A hierarchical attention module is then exquisitely designed to model intra-frame human-garment pose interactions and long-term human pose dynamics across frames through pose-aware spatial and temporal attention mechanisms. Moreover, DPIDM capitalizes on a temporal regularized attention loss between consecutive frames to enhance temporal consistency. Extensive experiments conducted on VITON-HD, VVT and ViViD datasets demonstrate the superiority of our DPIDM against the baseline methods. Notably, DPIDM achieves VFID score of 0.506 on VVT dataset, leading to 60.5% improvement over the state-of-the-art GPD-VVTO approach.

| 2025 | A Learning Paradigm for Selecting Few Discriminative Stimuli in Eye-Tracking ResearchabstractEye-tracking is a reliable method for quantifying visual information processing and holds significant potential for group recognition, such as identifying autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, eye-tracking research typically faces the heterogeneity of stimuli and is time-consuming due to the large number of observed stimuli. To address these issues, we first mathematically define the stimulus selection problem and introduce the concept of stimulus discrimination ability to reduce the computational complexity of the solution. Then, we construct a scanpath-based recognition model to mine the stimulus discrimination ability. Specifically, we propose cross-subject entropy and cross-subject divergence scores for quantitatively evaluating stimulus discrimination ability, effectively capturing differences in intra-group collective trends and inter-subject consistency within a group. Furthermore, we propose an iterative learning mechanism that employs stimulus-wise attention to focus on discriminative stimuli for discrimination purification. In the experiment, we construct an ASD eye-tracking dataset with diverse stimulus types and conduct extensive tests on three representative models to validate our approach. Remarkably, our method demonstrates superior performance using only 10 selected stimuli compared to models utilizing 220 stimuli. Additionally, we perform experiments on another eye-tracking task, gender prediction, to further validate our method. We believe that our approach is both simple and flexible for integration into existing models, promoting large-scale ASD screening and extending to other eye-tracking research domains.

| 2024 | SpFormer: Spatio-Temporal Modeling for Scanpaths with TransformerabstractSaccadic scanpath, a data representation of human visual behavior, has received broad interest in multiple domains. Scanpath is a complex eye-tracking data modality that includes the sequences of fixation positions and fixation duration, coupled with image information. However, previous methods usually face the spatial misalignment problem of fixation features and loss of critical temporal data (including temporal correlation and fixation duration). In this study, we propose a Transformer-based scanpath model, SpFormer, to alleviate these problems. First, we propose a fixation-centric paradigm to extract the aligned spatial fixation features and tokenize the scanpaths. Then, according to the visual working memory mechanism, we design a local meta attention to reduce the semantic redundancy of fixations and guide the model to focus on the meta scanpath. Finally, we progressively integrate the duration information and fuse it with the fixation features to solve the problem of ambiguous location with the Transformer block increasing. We conduct extensive experiments on four databases under three tasks. The SpFormer establishes new state-of-the-art results in distinct settings, verifying its flexibility and versatility in practical applications.

| 2024 | Uncertainty Modeling for Gaze EstimationabstractGaze estimation is an important fundamental task in computer vision and medical research. Existing works have explored various effective paradigms and modules for precisely predicting eye gazes. However, the uncertainty for gaze estimation, e.g., input uncertainty and annotation uncertainty, have been neglected in previous research. Existing models use a deterministic function to estimate the gaze, which cannot reflect the actual situation in gaze estimation. To address this issue, we propose a probabilistic framework for gaze estimation by modeling the input uncertainty and annotation uncertainty. We first utilize probabilistic embeddings to model the input uncertainty, representing the input image as a Gaussian distribution in the embedding space. Based on the input uncertainty modeling, we give an instance-wise uncertainty estimation to measure the confidence of prediction results, which is critical in practical applications. Then, we propose a new label distribution learning method, probabilistic annotations, to model the annotation uncertainty, representing the raw hard labels as Gaussian distributions. In addition, we develop an Embedding Distribution Smoothing (EDS) module and a hard example mining method to improve the consistency between embedding distribution and label distribution. We conduct extensive experiments, demonstrating that the proposed approach achieves significant improvements over baseline and state-of-the-art methods on two widely used benchmark datasets, GazeCapture and MPIIFaceGaze, as well as our collected dataset using mobile devices.
