EvHDR-GS: Event-guided HDR Video Reconstruction with 3D Gaussian Splatting

High Dynamic Range (HDR) video reconstruction seeks to accurately restore the extensive dynamic range present in real-world scenes and is widely employed in downstream applications. Existing methods typically operate on one or a small number of consecutive frames, which often leads to inconsistent brightness across the video due to their limited perspective on the video sequence. Moreover, supervised learning-based approaches are susceptible to data bias, resulting in reduced effectiveness when confronted with test inputs exhibiting a domain gap relative to the training data. To address these limitations, we present an event-guided HDR video reconstruction method through building 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS), to ensure consistent brightness imposed by 3D consistency. We introduce HDR 3D Gaussians capable of simultaneously representing HDR and low-dynamic-range (LDR) colors. Furthermore, we incorporate a learnable HDR-to-LDR transformation optimized by input event streams and LDR frames to eliminate the data bias. Experimental results on both synthetic and real-world datasets demonstrate that the proposed method achieves state-of-the-art performance.

EvSTVSR: Event Guided Space-Time Video Super-Resolution

In the domain of space-time video super-resolution, it is typically challenging to handle complex motions (including large and nonlinear motions) and varying illumination scenes due to the lack of inter-frame information. Leveraging the dense temporal information provided by event signals offers a promising solution. Traditional event-based methods typically rely on multiple images, using motion estimation and compensation, which can introduce errors. Accumulated errors from multiple frames often lead to artifacts and blurriness in the output. To mitigate these issues, we propose EvSTVSR, a method that uses fewer adjacent frames and integrates dense temporal information from events to guide alignment. Additionally, we introduce a coordinate-based feature fusion upsampling module to achieve spatial super-resolution. Experimental results demonstrate that our method not only outperforms existing RGB-based approaches but also excels in handling large motion scenarios.

The sparse Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architecture is increasingly favored for scaling Large Language Models (LLMs) efficiently, but it depends on heterogeneous compute and memory resources. These factors jointly affect system Cost, Accuracy, and Performance (CAP), making trade-offs inevitable. Existing benchmarks often fail to capture these trade-offs accurately, complicating practical deployment decisions. To address this, we introduce MoE-CAP, a benchmark specifically designed for MoE systems. Our analysis reveals that achieving an optimal balance across CAP is difficult with current hardware; MoE systems typically optimize two of the three dimensions at the expense of the third—a dynamic we term the MoE-CAP trade-off. To visualize this, we propose the CAP Radar Diagram. We further introduce sparsity-aware performance metrics—Sparse Memory Bandwidth Utilization (S-MBU) and Sparse Model FLOPS Utilization (S-MFU)—to enable accurate performance benchmarking of MoE systems across diverse hardware platforms and deployment scenarios. This benchmark is available on Github: https: //github. com/sparse-generative-ai/MoE-CAP.

Pano-NeRF: Synthesizing High Dynamic Range Novel Views with Geometry from Sparse Low Dynamic Range Panoramic Images

Panoramic imaging research on geometry recovery and High Dynamic Range (HDR) reconstruction becomes a trend with the development of Extended Reality (XR). Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) provide a promising scene representation for both tasks without requiring extensive prior data. How- ever, in the case of inputting sparse Low Dynamic Range (LDR) panoramic images, NeRF often degrades with under-constrained geometry and is unable to reconstruct HDR radiance from LDR inputs. We observe that the radiance from each pixel in panoramic images can be modeled as both a signal to convey scene lighting information and a light source to illuminate other pixels. Hence, we propose the irradiance fields from sparse LDR panoramic images, which increases the observation counts for faithful geometry recovery and leverages the irradiance-radiance attenuation for HDR reconstruction. Extensive experiments demonstrate that the irradiance fields outperform state-of-the-art methods on both geometry recovery and HDR reconstruction and validate their effectiveness. Furthermore, we show a promising byproduct of spatially-varying lighting estimation. The code is available at https://github.com/Lu-Zhan/Pano-NeRF.
