Highlights from Poster Session THU PM
Science & Technology
Introduction
This article encapsulates key highlights and innovations presented during the Thursday afternoon poster session, showcasing advancements in Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF), 3D rendering, object detection, segmentation methods, and various novel approaches in computer vision and AI.
Robust NeRF
Sarah Savour introduced "Robust NeRF," a method designed to optimize the NeRF model under a specially curated robust loss. This work addresses the issue of transient objects in multiview 3D reconstruction. The team proposes that traditional NeRF methods struggle with bad images, leading to artifacts in rendering, particularly when transient objects, like a pink balloon, are present.
Style Transfer in 3D
Another intriguing presentation focused on transferring the style of a reference image into a 3D scene while maintaining camera viewpoints. The technique leverages elliptic mapping to ensure consistency and photorealism across all views, overcoming challenges seen in 2D photorealistic methods.
Relax My NeRF
Marco Toski presented "Relax My NeRF," a dataset aimed at facilitating novel view synthesis and relighting of real-world objects. The dataset was created using robotic arms to control a point light and a camera, allowing for effective training of NeRF architectures to incorporate relighting capabilities.
Reflective Flare Removal
Your Condai introduced a novel approach to remove reflective flares in nighttime photography, which often occur due to artificial light sources. The new dataset, "Bracket Flare," and an end-to-end learning pipeline were proposed to enhance the removal of reflective artifacts.
3D Highlighter
A creative method was also presented for localizing semantic regions on 3D shapes using text descriptions. This work showcases how arbitrary concepts can be placed in semantically meaningful locations on 3D objects.
Kinship Face Synthesis
Another noteworthy project discussed the use of a new framework, "Style Gene," for synthesizing the faces of descendants based on parent traits. The training process utilizes individual facial genes derived from each region, permitting the creation of realistic descendant faces without requiring kinship annotations.
Flow Supervision in Deformable NeRF
A team presented "Flow Supervision for Deformable NeRF," a method that enhances novel view synthesis for dynamic scenes through the incorporation of optical flow supervision, leading to improvements in depth maps and object separation within the scene.
3D Mapping and Reconstruction
Several papers focused on advancements in 3D mapping and reconstruction. Methods were developed for the semi-automatic discovery and reconstruction of 3D objects from unstructured data, as well as the enhancing of 3D line maps for various applications.
Enhancing Medical Imaging
Another significant contribution discussed methods to refine medical image segmentation, particularly for rare diseases. The proposed methods use object queries to improve localization in out-of-distribution scenarios.
Electrical Figure Isolating Deep Networks
Innovations in understanding deep generative models were presented, including evaluations of their capabilities through empirical likelihood metrics and identifying deficiencies in models' performance.
