• Abstract: Narrated instructional videos often show and describe manipulations of similar objects, e.g., repairing a particular model of a car or laptop. In this work we aim to reconstruct such objects and to localize associated narrations in 3D. Contrary to the standard scenario of instance-level 3D reconstruction, where identical objects or scenes are present in all views, objects in different instructional videos may have large appearance variations given varying conditions and versions of the same product. Narrations may also have large variation in natural language expressions. We address these challenges by three contributions. First, we propose an approach for correspondence estimation combining learnt local features and dense flow. Second, we design a two-step divide and conquer reconstruction approach where the initial 3D reconstructions of individual videos are combined into a 3D alignment graph. Finally, we propose an unsupervised approach to ground natural language in obtained 3D reconstructions. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach for the domain of car maintenance. Given raw instructional videos and no manual supervision, our method successfully reconstructs engines of different car models and associates textual descriptions with corresponding objects in 3D.

  We introduce a method to generate 3D scenes that are disentangled into their component objects. Our key insight is that objects can be discovered by finding parts of a 3D scene that, when rearranged spatially, still produce valid configurations of the same scene. We show that despite its simplicity, our approach successfully generates 3D scenes into individual objects.

  We tackle the task of reconstructing hand-object interactions from short video clips. Our approach casts 3D inference as a per-video optimization and recovers a neural 3D representation of the object shape. We empirically evaluate our approach on egocentric videos, and observe significant improvements over prior single-view and multi-view methods.

  We present Farm3D, a method for learning category-specific 3D reconstructors for articulated objects. We propose a framework that uses an image generator, such as Stable Diffusion, to generate synthetic training data. Our network can be used for analysis, including monocular reconstruction, or for synthesis, generating articulated assets for real-time applications such as video games.

Our approach employs a BLIP model to generate textural descriptions, utilize the Segment-Anything model for the effective extraction of objects of interest, and leverages a text-to-image diffusion model to lift object into a neural radiance field.

  We contribute DensePose 3D, a method that can learn such reconstructions in a weakly supervised fashion from 2D image annotations only. Because it does not require 3D scans, DensePose 3D can be used for learning a wide range of articulated categories such as different animal species. We show significant improvements compared to state-of-the-art non-rigid structure-from-motion baselines on both synthetic and real data on categories of humans and animals.

  PriSMONet is a novel approach for learning Multi-Object 3D scene decomposition and representations from single images. A recurrent encoder regresses a latent representation of 3D shape, pose and texture of each object from an input RGB image. We evaluate the accuracy of our model in inferring 3D scene layout, demonstrate its generative capabilities, assess its generalization to real images, and point out benefits of the learned representation.
