AI Video Technology Updates

Introduction

• Recent advancements in AI video technology.
• Overview of seven research papers showing progress in AI tech.

Virtual Try-On Technology

1. CatVITAN

• Uses diffusion models for virtual try-on.
• Superimposes clothing on original images, maintaining pose and appearance.
• Demonstrates garment transfer between different people and even anime characters.
• Efficient model suitable for on-device use, allowing real-time virtual try-ons.
• Code available on GitHub and Hugging Face.

2. Any to Any Try On

• Utilizes adaptive position embeddings for versatile clothing tasks.
• Allows multiple clothing items per input image.
• Generates try-on results based on textual instructions (e.g., make a shirt sleeveless).
• Eliminates reliance on masks and poses.

AI Video Technologies

3. Diff U-Eraser

• Diffusion model for video inpainting.
• Masks out people or objects, removing them from videos.
• Enhanced capability to estimate backgrounds once objects are removed.
• Significant improvement over previous models, though shadows remain a challenge.
