PSHead: 3D Head Reconstruction from a Single Image with Diffusion Prior and Self‐Enhancement
We introduce PSHead, a coarse‐to‐fine framework guided by both object and face priors, to produce a Gaussian‐based 3D avatar for a single frontal‐view reference image. In the coarse stage, we create an initial 3D representation by applying diffusion models trained for general object generation, using Score Distillation Sampling losses over novel views.

RotGS: Rotation‐Guided 3D Gaussian Splatting for Turntable Sequences without Structure‐from‐Motion
Abstract The field of 3D reconstruction from multi‐view images has advanced rapidly thanks to 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS), which enables efficient and photorealistic scene representation. However, optimizing 3DGS requires high‐quality images from various viewpoints with accurate camera poses.

Statistical Denoising of Transient Rendering
Abstract Transient rendering simulates light in motion, measuring the time of flight from the light source to the camera. However, the stochastic nature of Monte Carlo is aggravated in transient rendering, since samples are now spread along the temporal domain.

BloomTree: Dynamic Coloring Techniques for Exploring Deep and Wide Tree Structures
Abstract This study introduces BloomTree, an interactive Sunburst system for visualizing massive hierarchical datasets, such as the Tree of Life. Traditional static color schemes fail to maintain perceptual distinguishability when applied to millions of nodes, and managing the full tree in memory is computationally costly.

The Story(line) So Far: A Survey on Storyline Visualization
Abstract Storyline visualizations model narratives as temporal networks, using x‐monotone lines to represent entities and their interactions over time. This technique offers an intuitive way to reveal structural patterns over time, such as character co‐occurrence and narrative flow.
