Image rendering from line drawings is vital in design and image generation technologies reduce costs, yet professional line drawings demand preserving complex details. Text prompts struggle with accuracy, and image translation struggles with consistency and fine-grained control. We present LineArt, a framework that transfers complex appearance onto detailed design drawings, facilitating design and artistic creation. It generates high-fidelity appearance while preserving structural accuracy by simulating hierarchical visual cognition and integrating human artistic experience to guide the diffusion process. LineArt overcomes the limitations of current methods in terms of difficulty in fine-grained control and style degradation in design drawings. It requires no precise 3D modeling, physical property specs, or network training, making it more convenient for design tasks. LineArt consists of two stages: a multi-frequency lines fusion module to supplement the input design drawing with detailed structural information and a two-part painting process for Base Layer Shaping and Surface Layer Coloring. We also present a new design drawing dataset ProLines for evaluation. The experiments show that LineArt performs better in accuracy, realism, and material precision compared to SOTAs.

Scene flow estimation aims to generate the 3D motion field of points between two consecutive frames of point clouds, which has wide applications in various fields. Existing point-based methods ignore the irregularity of point clouds and have difficulty capturing long-range dependencies due to the inefficiency of point-level computation. Voxel-based methods suffer from the loss of detail information. In this paper, we propose a point-voxel fusion method, where we utilize a voxel branch based on sparse grid attention and the shifted window strategy to capture long-range dependencies and a point branch to capture fine-grained features to compensate for the information loss in the voxel branch. In addition, since xyz coordinates are difficult to describe the geometric structure of complex 3D objects in the scene, we explicitly encode the local surface information of the point cloud through the umbrella surface feature extraction (USFE) module. We verify the effectiveness of our method by conducting experiments on the Flyingthings3D and KITTI datasets. Our method outperforms all other self-supervised methods and achieves highly competitive results compared to fully supervised methods. We achieve improvements in all metrics, especially EPE, which is reduced by 8.51% on the KITTIo dataset and 10.52% on the KITTIs dataset, respectively.
