• Abstract summary: We present an approach for aggregating a sparse set of views of an object in order to compute a semi-implicit 3D representation in the form of a volumetric feature grid. Key to our approach is an object-centric canonical 3D coordinate system into which views can be lifted, without explicit camera pose estimation. We show that computing a symmetry-aware mapping from pixels to the canonical coordinate system allows us to better propagate information to unseen regions.

• Abstract: We present an approach for aggregating a sparse set of views of an object in order to compute a semi-implicit 3D representation in the form of a volumetric feature grid. Key to our approach is an object-centric canonical 3D coordinate system into which views can be lifted, without explicit camera pose estimation, and then combined -- in a manner that can accommodate a variable number of views and is view order independent. We show that computing a symmetry-aware mapping from pixels to the canonical coordinate system allows us to better propagate information to unseen regions, as well as to robustly overcome pose ambiguities during inference. Our aggregate representation enables us to perform 3D inference tasks like volumetric reconstruction and novel view synthesis, and we use these tasks to demonstrate the benefits of our aggregation approach as compared to implicit or camera-centric alternatives.

  We tackle the task of scalable unsupervised object-centric representation learning on 3D scenes. Existing approaches to object-centric representation learning show limitations in generalizing to larger scenes. We propose to learn view-invariant 3D object representations in localized object coordinate systems.

  We address the task of estimating 6D camera poses from sparse-view image sets (2-8 images) We build on the recent RelPose framework which learns a network that infers distributions over relative rotations over image pairs. Our final system results in large improvements in 6D pose prediction over prior art on both seen and unseen object categories.

  A novel approach for scaling Multi-View Stereo (MVS) algorithms up to arbitrarily large collections of images is proposed. The presented method exploits an approximately uniform distribution of poses and geometry and builds a set of overlapping clusters. Since clustering is independent from pairwise visibility information, the proposed algorithm runs faster than existing literature and allows for a massive parallelization.

  We propose a novel framework for fine-grained object recognition that learns to recover object variation in 3D space from a single image. We represent an object as a composition of 3D shape and its appearance, while eliminating the effect of camera viewpoint. By incorporating 3D shape and appearance jointly in a deep representation, our method learns the discriminative representation of the object.

  We propose a learning-based approach to infer 3D shape and pose of object from a single image. We first infer a volumetric representation in a canonical frame, along with the camera pose. The coarse volumetric prediction is then converted to a mesh-based representation, which is further refined in the predicted camera frame.
