报告题目:3D Controllable Image Synthesis

报告摘要:

In recent years, Generative Adversarial Networks have achieved impressive results in photorealistic image synthesis. This progress nurtures hopes that one day the classical rendering pipeline can be replaced by efficient models that are learned directly from images. However, current image synthesis models operate in the 2D domain where disentangling 3D properties such as camera viewpoint or object pose is challenging. Furthermore, they lack an interpretable and controllable representation. In this talk, I’ll present our recent progress towards 3D-aware image synthesis. Our methods are built on the key hypothesis that the image generation process should be modeled in 3D space as the physical world surrounding us is intrinsically three-dimensional. We explore different 3D representations in the image generation process, including meshes, point clouds and continuous radiance fields. We show our methods allow for 3D-aware image synthesis while learning from unposed 2D images only. In addition, I’ll introduce KITTI-360, a recently released large-scale dataset with comprehensive 2D & 3D annotations which we hope to foster research in 3D-aware image synthesis as well as other important research areas.

报告题目:Consistent Video Depth Estimation

报告摘要:

We present an algorithm for reconstructing dense, geometrically consistent depth for all pixels in a monocular video. We leverage a conventional structure-from-motion reconstruction to establish geometric constraints on pixels in the video. Unlike the ad-hoc priors in classical reconstruction, we use a learning-based prior, i.e., a convolutional neural network trained for single-image depth estimation. At test time, we fine-tune this network to satisfy the geometric constraints of a particular input video, while retaining its ability to synthesize plausible depth details in parts of the video that are less constrained. We show through quantitative validation that our method achieves higher accuracy and a higher degree of geometric consistency than previous monocular reconstruction methods. Visually, our results appear more stable. Our algorithm is able to handle challenging hand-held captured input videos with a moderate degree of dynamic motion. The improved quality of the reconstruction enables several applications, such as scene reconstruction and advanced video-based visual effects.

讲者简介:

I am a PhD student in the UW Reality Lab at University of Washington CSE, working with Steven Seitz, Jason Lawrence and Ricardo Martin Brualla. I am interested in combining virtual/augmented reality with computer vision and graphics to create interesting surreal experience. My current research focuses on 3D vision and image synthesis. During the PhD, I’ve been fortunate enough to spend great summers at Google, Disney Research Zurich and Facebook. Prior to UW, I received B.S. from Shanghai Jiao Tong University working with Hongtao Lu, and visited National Univerity of Singapore working with Shuicheng Yan.
