Chengxu Liu

I am a 3rd-year Ph.D. student at Xi'an Jiaotong University (XJTU), my advisors are Xueming Qian. Also, I'm a visiting student at Vision and Learning Lab, University of California, Merced, supervised by Ming-Hsuan Yang. I received the B.S. degree from School of the Information engineering, XJTU in 2019.

I was fortunate to be involved in internship program at Megvii Research, Microsoft Research Asia (MSRA).

  • Research

    I'm interested in image/video restoration, low-quality/degraded detection, and fine-grained recognition. Much of my research is about low-level vision. Representative papers are highlighted. (* indicates equal contribution)

    Split-Check Split-Check: Boosting Product Recognition via Instance-Level Retrieval
    Chengxu Liu, Zongyang Da, Yuanzhi Liang, Yao Xue, Guoshuai Zhao, Xueming Qian
    IEEE TII, 2023

    We propose a product recognition approach based on intelligent UVMs, called Split-Check, which first splits the region of interest of products by detection and then check product by instance-level retrieval.

    FSI FSI: Frequency and Spatial Interactive Learning for Image Restoration in Under-Display Cameras
    Chengxu Liu, Xuan Wang, Shuai Li, Yuzhi Wang, Xueming Qian
    ICCV, 2023
    [PDF] [ArXiv] [Code] [Supp]

    We introduce a new perspective to handle various diffraction in UDC images by jointly exploring the feature restoration in the frequency and spatial domains, and present a Frequency and Spatial Interactive Learning Network (FSI).

    CSDA CSDA: Learning Category-Scale Joint Feature for Domain Adaptive Object Detection
    Changlong Gao*, Chengxu Liu*, Yujie Dun, Xueming Qian
    ICCV, 2023
    [PDF] [ArXiv] [Code] [Supp]

    For better category-level feature alignment, we propose a novel DAOD framework of joint category and scale information, dubbed CSDA, such a design enables effective object learning for different scales.

    TTVFI TTVFI: Learning Trajectory-Aware Transformer for Video Frame Interpolation
    Chengxu Liu, Huan Yang, Jianlong Fu, Xueming Qian
    IEEE TIP, 2023
    [PDF] [arXiv] [Code]

    We propose a novel Trajectory-aware Transformer for Video Frame Interpolation (TTVFI), which formulate the warped features with inconsistent motions as query tokens, and formulate relevant regions in a motion trajectory from two original consecutive frames into keys and values.

    4DLUT 4D LUT: Learnable Context-Aware 4D Lookup Table for Image Enhancement
    Chengxu Liu, Huan Yang, Jianlong Fu, Xueming Qian
    IEEE TIP, 2023
    [PDF] [arXiv] [Code]

    We propose a novel learnable context-aware 4-dimensional lookup table (4D LUT), which achieves content-dependent enhancement of different contents in each image via adaptively learning of photo context.

    AJENet AJENet: Adaptive Joints Enhancement Network for Abnormal Behavior Detection in Office Scenario
    Chengxu Liu, Yaru Zhang, Yao Xue, Xueming Qian
    IEEE TCSVT, 2023

    We focus on human joints and take one step further to enable effective behavior characteristics learning in office scenarios. In particular, we propose a novel Adaptive Joints Enhancement Network (AJENet).

    ClassAD Anomaly Detection Framework for Unmanned Vending Machines
    Zongyang Da, Yujie Dun, Chengxu Liu, Yuanzhi Liang, Yao Xue, Xueming Qian
    KBS, 2023

    We propose an unmanned retail anomaly detection method based on deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) called the complexity-classification anomaly detection (ClassAD) framework.

    PRUVM Product Recognition for Unmanned Vending Machines
    Chengxu Liu, Zongyang Da, Yuanzhi Liang, Yao Xue, Guoshuai Zhao, Xueming Qian
    IEEE TNNLS, 2022

    We propose a method for large-scale categories product recognition based on intelligent UVMs. The highlights of our method are mine potential similarity between large-scale category products and optimization through hierarchical multigranularity labels

    TTVSR Learning Trajectory-Aware Transformer for Video Super-Resolution
    Chengxu Liu, Huan Yang, Jianlong Fu, Xueming Qian
    CVPR (Oral presentation), 2022
    [PDF] [arXiv] [Code] [Supp]

    We propose a novel Trajectory-aware Transformer for Video Super-Resolution (TTVSR), which formulate video frames into several pre-aligned trajectories which consist of continuous visual tokens. For a query token, self-attention is only learned on relevant visual tokens along spatio-temporal trajectories.

    AFN Food and Ingredient Joint Learning for Fine-Grained Recognition
    Chengxu Liu, Yuanzhi Liang, Yao Xue, Xueming Qian, Jianlong Fu
    IEEE TCSVT, 2021

    We propose an Attention Fusion Network (AFN) and Food-Ingredient Joint Learning module for fine-grained food and ingredients recognition.
