This paper addresses the problem of omnidirectional video interpolation, which plays an essential role in applications such as virtual reality and immersive video enhancement. Existing video interpolation methods are not well-suited for spherical videos, as they have difficulty handling severe distortions close to the poles. To address this issue, we propose SVI360, a dual-branch framework that combines the image frame and its rotated orthogonal view to deal with these distortions. The core methodological aspect of the approach is to reinforce equivariance of the flow displacements between the original and orthogonal views to improve intermediate frame prediction. Experiments show that our method outperforms state-of-the-art approaches in interpolation quality while maintaining accurate optical flow in four different public benchmarks.

Recovering high-quality video from sparse event streams is a challenging task. Regression methods often blur textures, while existing generative models struggle with long-term stability. We propose LongE2V, a novel approach that leverages pre-trained video diffusion priors to joi…
Video frame interpolation (VFI) remains a challenging task, particularly when dealing with large, non-linear motions and complex occlusions. While flow-based methods are prevalent, they often struggle with ambiguous correspondences. Recent VFI methods based on selective State Spa…
We introduce time-reversed imaging, a new paradigm that infers what just happened in a scene from fading multimodal traces. Instead of extrapolating or interpolating video frames, our goal is to infer past human-environment interactions from residual physical imprints observable…
Rectified-flow-based diffusion transformers, particularly FLUX, have demonstrated outstanding performance in high-quality image generation. However, achieving fast and accurate inversion--transforming images back to latent noise for faithful reconstruction and editing--remains a…
We present a zero-shot, training-free and optimization-free framework for generating 360 panoramic images and videos by directly injecting spherical priors into pre-trained diffusion transformers. Existing methods either rely on costly fine-tuning on scarce panoramic data that li…
Vertigo Vertigo is a scene-for-scene AI reconstruction of Hitchcock's Vertigo (1958), generated from only 2.78% of the original film's frames. Using this sparse set of keyframe anchors, we perform first-last frame interpolation via a large video diffusion model to predict the int…
