Doctoral student Li Yanfeng’s innovative algorithm earnt recognition at one of the world’s most prestigious computer vision conferences, according to a MPU statement yesterday.
The statement said that a research project by Li, a PhD student in Applied Computer Technology of the Faculty of Applied Sciences of the Macao Polytechnic University (FCA-MPU), was selected for presentation at the conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR), a globally renowned academic event in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) and computer vision.
The study, conducted in collaboration with MPU faculty and scholars from mainland Chinese institutions, introduces “MoEdit”, a novel algorithm that overcomes major challenges in multi-object image editing, the statement added.
The research team, including Prof. Chan Ka Hou, Assistant Prof. Sun Yue, Coordinating Prof. Lam Chan Tong, and Adjunct Prof. Tan Tao, in partnership with researchers from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Fuzhou University, the Greater Bay University, and Sichuan University, developed two core modules: FeCom (Feature Compensation) and QTTN (Quantity Attention), which, according to the statement, enable MoEdit to preserve the unique features of each object in a complex image while maintaining overall scene coherence without relying on external tools like masks or bounding boxes.
The statement highlighted that MoEdit delivers an outstanding performance across a range of image editing tasks such as style transfer, object reshaping, and background reconstruction. Its real-world potential spans digital media production, e-commerce, and intelligent image processing - offering a powerful and user-friendly tool for content creators and designers.
CVPR, hosted by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), is ranked among the top-tier AI conferences worldwide. MPU’s participation reaffirms the university’s growing capabilities in high-impact AI research, particularly in smart visual technologies with real-world applications, the statement concluded.
