16 DAILY ICCV Thursday Oral & Award Candidate Asked why he thinks the ICCV committee rated the work so highly, Xiaohang points to its originality. “The idea is different from any existing paper,” he observes. “It provides some new insight because it’s performed in a very different way. People can be inspired by this paper.” He also believes the method opens up broader possibilities. “I simplified a lot of things, but that doesn’t mean they wouldn’t work,” he adds. “Researchers can use this idea before simplification and extend it beyond occlusion control. 3D rendering can control many things, like lighting conditions, camera poses, and field of view. It opens up new directions for training-free image editing and generation.” That potential for expansion is what excites him the most. “I only implemented a small piece of latent rendering in occlusion control,” he remarks. “But people can use latent rendering to do a lot more. I think this is the most important contribution to the community.” For visitors to ICCV, Xiaohang plans to utilize both his oral and poster sessions to share ideas on how others can build upon his work. “In the poster, I can explain face-to-face and give some more ideas about how to follow this paper,” he reveals. “I’ll give them some hints about how to use latent rendering to do some very different things – and maybe make a best paper of their own!”
