Hi3D: Pursuing High-Resolution Image-to-3D Generation with Video Diffusion ModelsHaibo Yang, Yang Chen, Yingwei Pan et al.
Despite having tremendous progress in image-to-3D generation, existing methods still struggle to produce multi-view consistent images with high-resolution textures in detail, especially in the paradigm of 2D diffusion that lacks 3D awareness. In this work, we present High-resolution Image-to-3D model (Hi3D), a new video diffusion based paradigm that redefines a single image to multi-view images as 3D-aware sequential image generation (i.e., orbital video generation). This methodology delves into the underlying temporal consistency knowledge in video diffusion model that generalizes well to geometry consistency across multiple views in 3D generation. Technically, Hi3D first empowers the pre-trained video diffusion model with 3D-aware prior (camera pose condition), yielding multi-view images with low-resolution texture details. A 3D-aware video-to-video refiner is learnt to further scale up the multi-view images with high-resolution texture details. Such high-resolution multi-view images are further augmented with novel views through 3D Gaussian Splatting, which are finally leveraged to obtain high-fidelity meshes via 3D reconstruction. Extensive experiments on both novel view synthesis and single view reconstruction demonstrate that our Hi3D manages to produce superior multi-view consistency images with highly-detailed textures.

CWT-Net: Super-resolution of Histopathology Images Using a Cross-scale Wavelet-based TransformerFeiyang Jia, Zhineng Chen, Ziying Song et al.
Super-resolution (SR) aims to enhance the quality of low-resolution images and has been widely applied in medical imaging. We found that the design principles of most existing methods are influenced by SR tasks based on real-world images and do not take into account the significance of the multi-level structure in pathological images, even if they can achieve respectable objective metric evaluations. In this work, we delve into two super-resolution working paradigms and propose a novel network called CWT-Net, which leverages cross-scale image wavelet transform and Transformer architecture. Our network consists of two branches: one dedicated to learning super-resolution and the other to high-frequency wavelet features. To generate high-resolution histopathology images, the Transformer module shares and fuses features from both branches at various stages. Notably, we have designed a specialized wavelet reconstruction module to effectively enhance the wavelet domain features and enable the network to operate in different modes, allowing for the introduction of additional relevant information from cross-scale images. Our experimental results demonstrate that our model significantly outperforms state-of-the-art methods in both performance and visualization evaluations and can substantially boost the accuracy of image diagnostic networks.
