Intrinsic Image Decomposition is an open problem of generating the constituents of an image. Generating reflectance and shading from a single image is a challenging task specifically when there is no ground truth. There is a lack of…

We propose a novel method to reconstruct the 3D shapes of transparent objects using hand-held captured images under natural light conditions. It combines the advantage of explicit mesh and multi-layer perceptron (MLP) network, a hybrid…

We present a method for estimating neural scenes representations of objects given only a single image. The core of our method is the estimation of a geometric scaffold for the object and its use as a guide for the reconstruction of the…

Aiming at inferring 3D shapes from 2D images, 3D shape reconstruction has drawn huge attention from researchers in computer vision and deep learning communities. However, it is not practical to assume that 2D input images and their…

In this work, we present a multiscale kinetic framework for consensus-based image segmentation. By interpreting an image as a system of interacting particles, each pixel is characterised by its spatial position and an internal feature…

Surface reconstruction with preservation of geometric features is a challenging computer vision task. Despite significant progress in implicit shape reconstruction, state-of-the-art mesh extraction methods often produce aliased,…

3D reconstruction is a fundamental problem in computer vision, and the task is especially challenging when the object to reconstruct is partially or fully occluded. We introduce a method that uses the shadows cast by an unobserved object in…
