RoMo: Robust Motion Segmentation Improves Structure from Motion

ICCV 2025poster

There has been extensive progress in the reconstruction and generation of 4D scenes from monocular casually-captured video. Estimating accurate camera poses from videos through structure-from-motion (SfM) relies on robustly separating static and dynamic parts of a video. We propose a novel approach…

Bayes' Rays: Uncertainty Quantification for Neural Radiance Fields

CVPR 2024highlight

Neural Radiance Fields (NeRFs) have shown promise in applications like view synthesis and depth estimation but learning from multiview images faces inherent uncertainties. Current methods to quantify them are either heuristic or computationally demanding. We introduce BayesRays a post-hoc framework…

VecFusion: Vector Font Generation with Diffusion

CVPR 2024highlight

We present VecFusion a new neural architecture that can generate vector fonts with varying topological structures and precise control point positions. Our approach is a cascaded diffusion model which consists of a raster diffusion model followed by a vector diffusion model. The raster model generate…

Breaking Bad: A Dataset for Geometric Fracture and Reassembly

NeurIPS 2022accept

We introduce Breaking Bad, a large-scale dataset of fractured objects. Our dataset consists of over one million fractured objects simulated from ten thousand base models. The fracture simulation is powered by a recent physically based algorithm that efficiently generates a variety of fracture modes…

Neural Shape Mating: Self-Supervised Object Assembly With Adversarial Shape Priors

CVPR 2022poster

Learning to autonomously assemble shapes is a crucial skill for many robotic applications. While the majority of existing part assembly methods focus on correctly posing semantic parts to recreate a whole object, we interpret assembly more literally: as mating geometric parts together to achieve a s…

Neural Geometric Level of Detail: Real-Time Rendering With Implicit 3D Shapes

CVPR 2021poster

Neural signed distance functions (SDFs) are emerging as an effective representation for 3D shapes. State-of-the-art methods typically encode the SDF with a large, fixed-size neural network to approximate complex shapes with implicit surfaces. Rendering with these large networks is, however, computat…

Learning Deformable Tetrahedral Meshes for 3D Reconstruction

NeurIPS 2020poster

3D shape representations that accommodate learning-based 3D reconstruction are an open problem in machine learning and computer graphics. Previous work on neural 3D reconstruction demonstrated benefits, but also limitations, of point cloud, voxel, surface mesh, and implicit function representations.…

Beyond Pixel Norm-Balls: Parametric Adversaries using an Analytically Differentiable Renderer

ICLR 2019poster

Many machine learning image classifiers are vulnerable to adversarial attacks, inputs with perturbations designed to intentionally trigger misclassification. Current adversarial methods directly alter pixel colors and evaluate against pixel norm-balls: pixel perturbations smaller than a specified ma…

Learning to Predict 3D Objects with an Interpolation-based Differentiable Renderer

NeurIPS 2019poster

Many machine learning models operate on images, but ignore the fact that images are 2D projections formed by 3D geometry interacting with light, in a process called rendering. Enabling ML models to understand image formation might be key for generalization. However, due to an essential rasterization…
