SK Telecom and KAIST's 'InsertAnywhere' AI Video Synthesis Research Accepted at ECCV 2026

Introduction

SK Telecom, in collaboration with the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), has developed an innovative AI video synthesis technology named 'InsertAnywhere.' This groundbreaking research has been accepted for presentation at the European Conference on Computer Vision (ECCV) 2026, one of the world's top three computer vision conferences.

The 'InsertAnywhere' Technology

'InsertAnywhere' is designed to seamlessly integrate new objects into existing video footage. By analyzing the 3D spatial structure and temporal flow of a scene—a technique referred to as '4D scene understanding'—the AI can:

• Maintain Object Consistency: Ensure that inserted objects remain stable in position and form, even when the camera moves or objects occlude each other.
• Realistic Environmental Effects: Accurately render shadows, reflections, and lighting effects to match the scene's existing conditions.

This technology enables users to specify the placement of an object in a single frame, and the AI automatically propagates this insertion throughout the entire video, maintaining natural integration. (ajunews.com)

Implications for the Media and Advertising Industries

The acceptance of 'InsertAnywhere' at ECCV 2026 underscores its potential to revolutionize video editing processes, particularly in:

• Advertising: Effortlessly adding products or brand elements into existing commercials without the need for reshoots.
• Film and Television: Enhancing post-production workflows by integrating CGI elements more naturally and efficiently.
• Content Creation: Empowering creators to modify and enhance their videos with minimal technical expertise.
