The paper presents a framework for converting standard dynamic range (SDR) videos into high dynamic range (HDR) videos using large-scale generative video models. It introduces a Multi-Exposure Video Model (MEVM) that predicts exposure-bracketed linear SDR sequences from a single nonlinear SDR input, and a Video Merging Model (VMM) that fuses these predictions into a high-quality HDR sequence while preserving detail in shadows and highlights. Experiments, qualitative evaluation, and a user study demonstrate robust HDR conversion for casual consumer footage and iconic films, and the approach can be integrated into existing SDR generative video pipelines.

arXiv:2607. 20628v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Real-world video deblurring remains challenging due to diverse motion patterns, complex degradations, and the scarcity of realistic training data, yet robust restoration is critical for downstream pipelines such as mobile imaging and 3D reconstruction.
WildShadowRemover is a framework that adapts a pretrained video diffusion model for robust in-the-wild video shadow removal using LoRA fine-tuning. It augments the frozen VAE decoder with a detail injection module and introduces a shadow‑mask‑guided frequency‑decomposed modulation module to restore high‑frequency textures while suppressing shadow artifacts, with monocular depth priors providing geometry‑aware guidance. The authors also create WildShadow, a large‑scale paired video shadow removal dataset, and show that their method outperforms existing approaches in shadow removal quality, temporal consistency, and generalization across challenging real‑world scenarios.
InstantHDR is a feed-forward network that initializes high dynamic range (HDR) 3D scenes from uncalibrated multi-exposure low dynamic range (LDR) image collections in a single forward pass. It uses geometry-guided appearance modeling for multi-exposure fusion and a meta-network for scene-specific tone mapping. The authors also created a pre-training dataset, HDR-Pretrain, with 168 Blender-rendered scenes to support generalizable HDR models, achieving a speedup of about 700× over state‑of‑the‑art optimization methods while maintaining comparable quality after lightweight post‑optimization.

ActDiff-VC is a diffusion-based video compression framework designed for ultra‑low‑bitrate scenarios. It partitions videos into variable‑length segments, transmits keyframes only when necessary, and encodes temporal dynamics with a compact set of tracked point trajectories. Conditioned on these sparse signals, a conditional diffusion decoder reconstructs the remaining frames, achieving significant bitrate reductions and perceptual quality gains compared to strong learned codecs.
