LIVE: Leveraging Image Manipulation Priors for Instruction-based Video Editing

Weicheng Wang, Zhicheng Zhang, Zhongqi Zhang et al.

Video editing aims to modify input videos according to user intent. Recently, end-to-end training methods have garnered widespread attention, constructing paired video editing data through video generation or editing models. However, compared to image editing, the high annotation costs of video data severely constrain the scale, quality, and task diversity of video editing datasets when relying on video generative models or manual annotation. To bridge this gap, we propose LIVE, a joint training framework that leverages large-scale, high-quality image editing data alongside video datasets to bolster editing capabilities. To mitigate the domain discrepancy between static images and dynamic videos, we introduce a frame-wise token noise strategy, which treats the latents of specific frames as reasoning tokens, leveraging large pretrained video generative models to create plausible temporal transformations. Moreover, through cleaning public datasets and constructing an automated data pipeline, we adopt a two-stage training strategy to anneal video editing capabilities. Furthermore, we curate a comprehensive evaluation benchmark encompassing over 60 challenging tasks that are prevalent in image editing but scarce in existing video datasets. Extensive comparative and ablation experiments demonstrate that our method achieves state-of-the-art performance. The source code will be publicly available.

Accelerating 3D MULTIPLEX MRI Reconstruction with Deep Learning

Eric Z. Chen, Yongquan Ye, Xiao Chen et al.

Multi-contrast MRI images provide complementary contrast information about the characteristics of anatomical structures and are commonly used in clinical practice. Recently, a multi-flip-angle (FA) and multi-echo GRE method (MULTIPLEX MRI) has been developed to simultaneously acquire multiple parametric images with just one single scan. However, it poses two challenges for MULTIPLEX to be used in the 3D high-resolution setting: a relatively long scan time and the huge amount of 3D multi-contrast data for reconstruction. Currently, no DL based method has been proposed for 3D MULTIPLEX data reconstruction. We propose a deep learning framework for undersampled 3D MRI data reconstruction and apply it to MULTIPLEX MRI. The proposed deep learning method shows good performance in image quality and reconstruction time.

Cardiac Functional Analysis with Cine MRI via Deep Learning Reconstruction

Eric Z. Chen, Xiao Chen, Jingyuan Lyu et al.

Retrospectively gated cine (retro-cine) MRI is the clinical standard for cardiac functional analysis. Deep learning (DL) based methods have been proposed for the reconstruction of highly undersampled MRI data and show superior image quality and magnitude faster reconstruction time than CS-based methods. Nevertheless, it remains unclear whether DL reconstruction is suitable for cardiac function analysis. To address this question, in this study we evaluate and compare the cardiac functional values (EDV, ESV and EF for LV and RV, respectively) obtained from highly accelerated MRI acquisition using DL based reconstruction algorithm (DL-cine) with values from CS-cine and conventional retro-cine. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work to evaluate the cine MRI with deep learning reconstruction for cardiac function analysis and compare it with other conventional methods. The cardiac functional values obtained from cine MRI with deep learning reconstruction are consistent with values from clinical standard retro-cine MRI.
