3D Shape Reconstruction from Vision and Touch

NeurIPS 2020poster

When a toddler is presented a new toy, their instinctual behaviour is to pick it up and inspect it with their hand and eyes in tandem, clearly searching over its surface to properly understand what they are playing with. At any instance here, touch provides high fidelity localized information while…

GEOMetrics: Exploiting Geometric Structure for Graph-Encoded Objects

ICML 2019oral

Mesh models are a promising approach for encoding the structure of 3D objects. Current mesh reconstruction systems predict uniformly distributed vertex locations of a predetermined graph through a series of graph convolutions, leading to compromises with respect to performance or resolution. In this…

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…

Multi-View Silhouette and Depth Decomposition for High Resolution 3D Object Representation

NeurIPS 2018poster

We consider the problem of scaling deep generative shape models to high-resolution. Drawing motivation from the canonical view representation of objects, we introduce a novel method for the fast up-sampling of 3D objects in voxel space through networks that perform super-resolution on the six orthog…
