SUMMARY:From Video to Virtual: Object-centric 3D scene understanding from videos
DESCRIPTION:The growing demand for immersive\, interactive experiences has underscored the importance of 3D data in understanding our surroundings. Traditional methods for capturing 3D data are often complex and equipment-intensive. In contrast\, my research aims to utilize unconstrained videos\, such as those from augmented reality glasses\, to effortlessly capture scenes and objects in their full 3D complexity. As a first step\, I will describe a method to incorporate Epipolar Geometry priors in multi-view Transformer models to enable identifying objects across extreme pose variations. Next\, I will discuss my work "Contrastive Lift" on 3D object segmentation using 2D pre-trained foundation models\, following which I will talk about addressing the same problem using language.\nSpeaker(s): Yash Bhalgat\nAgenda:\n– Invited talk from Yash Bhalgat the final year PhD student at University of Oxford's Visual Geometry Group (VGG) supervised by Andrew Zisserman\, Andrea Vedaldi\, Joao Henriques and Iro Laina.\n– Q/A Session\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/468355
