Yue Chen (陈悦)

I am currently a PhD student at Westlake University, co-supervised by Yuliang Xiu and Gerard Pons-Moll.

I am interested in modeling 3D/4D worlds from casually-captured real-world images and videos. I have previously done research internships at Tencent AI Lab, working with Xuan Wang. I completed my M.S. at Xi'an Jiaotong University and my B.S. at Xiamen University.

As a Muggle dreaming of the Wizarding World, I feel so fortunate to create magic through what I am exploring on this jorney.

Feat2GS: Probing Visual Foundation Models with Gaussian Splatting
Yue Chen, Xingyu Chen, Anpei Chen, Gerard Pons-Moll, Yuliang Xiu
arXiv, 2024
project page / arXiv / video

A unified framework to probe "texture and geometry awareness" of visual foundation models. Novel view synthesis serves as an effective proxy for 3D evaluation.

L2G-NeRF: Local-to-Global Registration for Bundle-Adjusting Neural Radiance Fields
Yue Chen*, Xingyu Chen*⚑, Xuan Wang†, Qi Zhang, Yu Guo†, Ying Shan, Fei Wang
IEEE/CVF Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR), 2023
project page / arXiv / paper / code / supplementary / video / poster

A Local-to-Global robust registration strategy for bundle-adjusting NeRF, combining the global and local alignment via differentiable parameter estimation.

UV Volumes for Real-time Rendering of Editable Free-view Human Performance
Yue Chen*, Xuan Wang*, Xingyu Chen, Qi Zhang, Xiaoyu Li, Yu Guo†, Jue Wang, Fei Wang
IEEE/CVF Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR), 2023
project page / arXiv / paper / code / supplementary / video / poster

An editable, real-time rendering, and deformable human NeRF, decomposing a dynamic human into 3D UV Volumes and a 2D appearance texture.

PROCA: Place Recognition under Occlusion and Changing Appearance via Disentangled Representations
Yue Chen, Xingyu Chen†⚑, Yicen Li
IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA), 2023
arXiv / code / video / poster

An unsupervised approach to disentangle a scene into place, appearance, and occlusion features, handling place recognition under occlusion and varying appearance.

Ha-NeRF😆: Hallucinated Neural Radiance Fields in the Wild
Xingyu Chen, Qi Zhang†, Xiaoyu Li, Yue Chen, Ying Feng, Xuan Wang, Jue Wang
IEEE/CVF Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR), 2022
project page / arXiv / paper / code / supplementary / video / poster

A method to recover 3D scenes from tourism photos with various styles and occlusions, consistently rendering occlusion-free views under different appearance hallucinations.
