Appearance Learning
Appearance learning in computer vision focuses on developing algorithms that can effectively represent and manipulate the visual characteristics of objects and scenes. Current research emphasizes disentangling appearance from other factors like motion, pose, and structure, often employing transformer-based architectures, generative adversarial networks (GANs), and neural radiance fields (NeRFs) to achieve this. These advancements are crucial for improving applications such as 3D human reconstruction, image generation, object tracking, and person re-identification, particularly in challenging scenarios with limited data or adverse conditions.
