Design

• Brand color: PolyU brick red #8F1329, with gold #D4A24C accents.
• Typography: Playfair Display (serif headings) + Inter (sans body).
• Layout: fixed left sidebar navigation + scrollable main content, inspired by Tsinghua MARS Lab's site.
• Research collections, each with a custom SVG icon.

Update the content

All dynamic content lives in assets/js/pubs.js:

• window.PUBLICATIONS — publication list (assign each a category that matches a collection key).
• window.TEAM — team roster.
• window.COLLECTIONS — per-collection lead text, tags and topic cards.

To add a new paper, append an object like:

{ venue:"CVPR", year:"2026", tag:"Oral",
  title:"...", authors:"...", tagline:"...",
  category:"restoration",
  paper:"https://arxiv.org/abs/...",
  code:"https://github.com/..." }

Local preview

No build step required — it's a static site.

# from the VCLab folder
python -m http.server 8080
# then open http://localhost:8080
