Virtual try-on is a promising computer vision topic with a high commercial value wherein a new garment is visually worn on a person with a photo-realistic effect. Previous studies conduct their shape and content inference at one stage, employing a single-scale warping mechanism and a relatively unsophisticated content inference mechanism. These approaches have led to suboptimal results in terms of garment warping and skin reservation under challenging try-on scenarios. To address these limitations, we propose a novel virtual try-on method via progressive inference paradigm (PGVTON) that leverages a top-down inference pipeline and a general garment try-on strategy. Specifically, we propose a robust try-on parsing inference method by disentangling semantic categories and introducing consistency. Exploiting the try-on parsing as the shape guidance, we implement the garment try-on via warping-mapping-composition. To facilitate adaptation to a wide range of try-on scenarios, we adopt a covering more and selecting one warping strategy and explicitly distinguish tasks based on alignment. Additionally, we regulate StyleGAN2 to implement re-naked skin inpainting, conditioned on the target skin shape and spatial-agnostic skin features. Experiments demonstrate that our method has state-of-the-art performance under two challenging scenarios. The code will be available at https://github.com/NerdFNY/PGVTON.

As bird's-eye-view (BEV) semantic segmentation is simple-to-visualize and easy-to-handle, it has been applied in autonomous driving to provide the surrounding information to downstream tasks. Inferring BEV semantic segmentation conditioned on multi-camera-view images is a popular scheme in the community as cheap devices and real-time processing. The recent work implemented this task by learning the content and position relationship via the vision Transformer (ViT). However, the quadratic complexity of ViT confines the relationship learning only in the latent layer, leaving the scale gap to impede the representation of fine-grained objects. And their plain fusion method of multi-view features does not conform to the information absorption intention in representing BEV features. To tackle these issues, we propose a novel cross-scale hierarchical Transformer with correspondence-augmented attention for semantic segmentation inferring. Specifically, we devise a hierarchical framework to refine the BEV feature representation, where the last size is only half of the final segmentation. To save the computation increase caused by this hierarchical framework, we exploit the cross-scale Transformer to learn feature relationships in a reversed-aligning way, and leverage the residual connection of BEV features to facilitate information transmission between scales. We propose correspondence-augmented attention to distinguish conducive and inconducive correspondences. It is implemented in a simple yet effective way, amplifying attention scores before the Softmax operation, so that the position-view-related and the position-view-disrelated attention scores are highlighted and suppressed. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our method has state-of-the-art performance in inferring BEV semantic segmentation conditioned on multi-camera-view images.

Depth estimation provides an alternative approach for perceiving 3D information in autonomous driving. Monocular depth estimation, whether with single-frame or multi-frame inputs, has achieved significant success by learning various types of cues and specializing in either static or dynamic scenes. Recently, these cues fusion becomes an attractive topic, aiming to enable the combined cues to perform well in both types of scenes. However, adaptive cue fusion relies on attention mechanisms, where the quadratic complexity limits the granularity of cue representation. Additionally, explicit cue fusion depends on precise segmentation, which imposes a heavy burden on mask prediction. To address these issues, we propose the GSDC Transformer, an efficient and effective component for cue fusion in monocular multi-frame depth estimation. We utilize deformable attention to learn cue relationships at a fine scale, while sparse attention reduces computational requirements when granularity increases. To compensate for the precision drop in dynamic scenes, we represent scene attributes in the form of super tokens without relying on precise shapes. Within each super token attributed to dynamic scenes, we gather its relevant cues and learn local dense relationships to enhance cue fusion. Our method achieves state-of-the-art performance on the KITTI dataset with efficient fusion speed.

This paper proposes a novel garment transfer method supervised with knowledge distillation from virtual try-on. Our method first reasons the transfer parsing to provide shape prior to downstream tasks. We employ a multi-phase teaching strategy to supervise the training of the transfer parsing reasoning model, learning the response and feature knowledge from the try-on parsing reasoning model. To correct the teaching error, it transfers the garment back to its owner to absorb the hard knowledge in the self-study phase. Guided by the transfer parsing, we adjust the position of the transferred garment via STN to prevent distortion. Afterward, we estimate a progressive flow to precisely warp the garment with shape and content correspondences. To ensure warping rationality, we supervise the training of the garment warping model using target shape and warping knowledge from virtual try-on. To better preserve body features in the transfer result, we propose a well-designed training strategy for the arm regrowth task to infer new exposure skin. Experiments demonstrate that our method has state-of-the-art performance compared with other virtual try-on and garment transfer methods in garment transfer, especially for preserving garment texture and body features.
