The code for our #CVPR2025 paper, PRaDA: Projective Radial Distortion Averaging, is now out!

Turns out distortion calibration from multiview 2D correspondences can be fully decoupled from 3D reconstruction, greatly simplifying the problem

Can we match vision and language representations without any supervision or paired data?

Surprisingly, yes!

Our #CVPR2025 paper with @neekans.bsky.social and @dcremers.bsky.social shows that the pairwise distances in both modalities are often enough to find correspondences.

Can you train a model for pose estimation directly on casual videos without supervision?

Turns out you can!

In our #CVPR2025 paper AnyCam, we directly train on YouTube videos and achieve SOTA results by using an uncertainty-based flow loss and monocular priors!

While recent methods like Monst3r achieve impressive results, they require datasets with camera pose labels. Such datasets are hard to collect and not available for every domain. AnyCam can directly be trained on any video dataset.

📢 #CVPR2025 Highlight: Scene-Centric Unsupervised Panoptic Segmentation 🔥

We present CUPS, the first unsupervised panoptic segmentation method trained directly on scene-centric imagery.
Using self-supervised features, depth & motion, we achieve SotA results!

🏠 Introducing DepthSplat: a framework that connects Gaussian splatting with single- and multi-view depth estimation. This enables robust depth modeling and high-quality view synthesis with state-of-the-art results on ScanNet, RealEstate10K, and DL3DV.

Can we represent fuzzy geometry with meshes? "Volumetric Surfaces" uses layered meshes to represent the look of hair, fur & more without the splatting/volume overhead. Fast, pretty, and runs in real-time on your laptop!

Check out our latest recent #CVPR2025 paper AnyCam, a fast method for pose estimation in casual videos!

1️⃣ Can be directly trained on casual videos without the need for 3D annotation.
2️⃣ Based around a feed-forward transformer and light-weight refinement.
