Forward Warping

Forward warping is a computational technique used to transform images or 3D models, primarily to align them across different viewpoints or time instances. Current research focuses on improving the accuracy and efficiency of forward warping within various applications, including video generation, 3D scene reconstruction, and medical image analysis, often employing deep learning architectures like Gaussian splatting and implicit neural representations to model complex deformations. These advancements are driving progress in areas such as realistic avatar generation, high-fidelity 4D reconstruction from videos, and real-time video stitching, ultimately enhancing the quality and realism of digital content and improving the analysis of dynamic processes in diverse fields.
