报告题目： SymmetryNet: Learning to Predict Reflectional and Rotational Symmetries of 3D Shapes from Single-View RGB-D Images

报告摘要：

We study the problem of symmetry detection of 3D shapes from single-view RGB-D images, where severely missing data renders geometric detection approach infeasible. We propose an end-to-end deep neural network which is able to predict both reflectional and rotational symmetries of 3D objects present in the input RGB-D image. Directly training a deep model for symmetry prediction, however, can quickly run into the issue of overfitting. We adopt a multi-task learning approach. Aside from symmetry axis prediction, our network is also trained to predict symmetry correspondences. The proposed method achieves state-of-the-art performance on a new benchmark of 3D symmetry detection based on single-view RGB-D images. In particular, it is robust in handling unseen object instances with large variation in shape, multi-symmetry composition, as well as novel object categories.

报告题目：3D modeling for everyone

报告摘要：

Creating digital 3D objects has been a central task across different disciplines. Recent advances in immersive technologies (e.g., augmented and virtual realities) and 3D printing further expand the need of designing complex 3D shapes. Despite a large demand for novel 3D content, the current state of 3D modeling tools is so far from being usable by the general public. Unlike traditional 3D modeling which edits surface points directly, I propose new perspectives on manipulating 3D geometry. In this talk, I will cover three aspects: (1) appearance-driven editing, (2) normal-driven editing, and (3) data-driven machine learning modeling. I will show how these perspectives can lead to easy-to-use techniques for creating detailed and stylized 3D objects. I argue that such modeling techniques will push the boundaries of how we model 3D shapes, leading to a world where everyone can easily create novel 3D content in their daily lives.
