Come to our #SIGGRAPH2025 talk today at 2pm at the Computational Imaging, Lighting & Display session in the West Building rooms 118-120 to learn more!
Excited to share our ACM TOG/ SIGGRAPH '25 work on Noise-Coded Illumination (NCI)! We use coded noise to add an invisible watermark to lighting that helps detect fake or manipulated video. With @gfxptr and collaborators @zekun_hao and @SergeBelongie. url: peterfmichael.com/nci/

Detecting a fake: A team of @CornellCIS researchers has developed a way to “watermark” light in videos to detect if video is fake or has been manipulated, another potential tool in the fight against #misinformation. @AbeDavis @SergeBelongie @siggraph news.cornell.edu/stories/202…
This was such a fun project to work on! Check it out!

If you have a career in research, or if you aspire to have a career in research, you must watch (or read) Dick Hamming's "You and Your Research". Easily the best advice out there on the subject.

Noah Snavely @Jimantha, associate professor of computer science at @Cornell_Tech & @Cornell_CS, and a team of researchers have developed OmniMotion, a new video optimization tool that estimates motion across a full video with only a small sample of frames. news.cornell.edu/stories/202…

An app developed by researchers in @AbeDavis’ group uses augmented reality to help users repeatedly capture images with a phone or tablet from the same location to make time-lapse videos.
ReCapture is now available in the Apple app store.

At today's @ImageUCPH workshop, section head @KErleben asked me to speak about "how to get cool research ideas." (1/25)
wild.
We’re pleased to introduce Make-A-Video, our latest in #GenerativeAI research! With just a few words, this state-of-the-art AI system generates high-quality videos from text prompts.
Have an idea you want to see? Reply w/ your prompt using #MetaAI and we’ll share more results.

Is there a doctor on the plane?
-Yes, but not that kind of doctor.
-The passenger in 36c is trying to inpaint an image using a pre-trained stable diffusion model and simply copy-pastes the inpainting observed part in place, after each iteration!
-Ok, I got this.

I'll tell you a secret about having more impact. You've got to focus on fewer things, ideally just one -- your most ambitious idea. And you've got to commit and finish it.

Very exciting 'breaking' news!
CompVis (research group behind VQGAN) have just released a new 1.45B parameter model to its Latent Diffusion model: github.com/CompVis/latent-di…
From the released image it seems like it has an unprecedented text-synthesis capacity. More to follow soon
