Neural surface reconstruction relies heavily on accurate camera poses as input. Despite utilizing advanced pose estimators like COLMAP or ARKit, camera poses can still be noisy. Existing pose-NeRF joint optimization methods handle poses…
Reconstructing models of the real world, including 3D geometry, appearance, and motion of real scenes, is essential for computer graphics and computer vision. It enables the synthesizing of photorealistic novel views, useful for the movie…
Object Permanence allows people to reason about the location of non-visible objects, by understanding that they continue to exist even when not perceived directly. Object Permanence is critical for building a model of the world, since…

Reconstructing 3D geometry and appearance from a sparse set of fixed cameras is a foundational task with broad applications, yet it remains fundamentally constrained by the limited viewpoints. We show that this bound can be broken by…
Kinematic structures are very common in the real world. They range from simple articulated objects to complex mechanical systems. However, despite their relevance, most model-based 3D tracking methods only consider rigid objects. To…
In object tracking, outlier is one of primary factors which degrade performance of image-based tracking algorithms. In this respect, therefore, most of the existing methods simply discard detected outliers and pay little or no attention to…

Directly regressing the non-rigid shape and camera pose from the individual 2D frame is ill-suited to the Non-Rigid Structure-from-Motion (NRSfM) problem. This frame-by-frame 3D reconstruction pipeline overlooks the inherent…
Learning-based outlier (mismatched correspondence) rejection for robust 3D registration generally formulates the outlier removal as an inlier/outlier classification problem. The core for this to be successful is to learn the discriminative…
