Ntumba Elie, Nsampi

I am a Ph.D. student at the Max Planck Institute For Informatics and Saarland University, where i am fortunate to be supervised by Dr. Thomas Leimkühler. Prior to joining MPI-INF i obtained a masters in Computer Science from Northwestern Polytechnical University where i was supervised by Professor Qing Wang.

Research

My research lies at the intersection of Computer Vision, Computer Graphics, and Machine Learning. I'm particularly interested in exploring problems that connect these areas. Currently, I focus on Implicit Neural Representations for graphics, with an emphasis on incorporating physical priors to address inverse problems.

Open to Collaborations : If you're working on related problems or interested in implicit neural representations and physics-informed methods, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Neural Gaussian Scale-Space Fields

Project, Paper

We propose an algorithm to learn a continuous gaussian scale space field from a single image

We propose an algorithm to perform efficient continuous convolution of neural fields.

SIDNet: Learning Shading-aware Illumination Descriptor for Image Harmonization
Zhongyun Hu, Ntumba Elie Nsampi,Xue Wang, Qing Wang
IEEE TETCI, 2023

We propose an algorithm for image harmonization alongside with a new dataset.

Physically Inspired Neural Rendering for any-to-any Relighting
Zhongyun Hu, Ntumba Elie, Nsampi, Xue Wang, Qing Wang
IEEE Transaction on Image Processing, 2022
Paper

We propose an algoritm to decompose the any-to-any relighting problem, into three sub-problems and propose three networks to solve each one independently.

Neural Shading Field for Image Harmonization
Zhongyun Hu, Ntumba Elie, Nsampi,Xue Wang, Qing Wang
Arxiv, 2021
Paper / Code (Coming soon)

Learning Exposure Correction Via Consistency Modeling
Ntumba Elie, Nsampi, Zhongyun Hu, Qing Wang
BMVC, 2021
Paper / Code

We propose a method to constrain a deep network to learn an exposure-invariant representation, such that images of different exposure degradation level result in the same internal representation.

Depth Guided Image Relighting Challenge
Ntumba Elie, Nsampi, Zhongyun Hu, Qing Wang
Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition Workshops (CVPRW), 2021
Paper

We propose a shadow guidance network, which when plugged into an any-to-any relighting pipeline improves the quality of generated shadows.
