• Abstract summary: We propose to improve the 3D connectivity of our results by minimizing a sum of topology-aware losses on their 2D projections. This suffices to increase the accuracy and to reduce the annotation effort required to provide the required annotated training data.

• Abstract: Many biological and medical tasks require the delineation of 3D curvilinear structures such as blood vessels and neurites from image volumes. This is typically done using neural networks trained by minimizing voxel-wise loss functions that do not capture the topological properties of these structures. As a result, the connectivity of the recovered structures is often wrong, which lessens their usefulness. In this paper, we propose to improve the 3D connectivity of our results by minimizing a sum of topology-aware losses on their 2D projections. This suffices to increase the accuracy and to reduce the annotation effort required to provide the required annotated training data.

  Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) plays a vital role in clinical imaging. Traditional methods typically require hundreds of 2D X-ray projections to reconstruct a high-quality 3D CBCT image. This has led to a growing interest in sparse-view CBCT reconstruction to reduce radiation doses. We introduce a novel geometry-aware encoder-decoder framework to solve this problem.

  This paper addresses the problems of achieving large-scale 3D reconstructions with implicit representations using 3D LiDAR measurements. We learn and store implicit features through an octree-based hierarchical structure, which is sparse and sparse. Our experiments show that our 3D reconstructions are more accurate, complete, and memory-efficient than current state-of-the-art 3D mapping methods.

  We present a simple yet effective 2D method to handle 3D data while efficiently embedding the 3D knowledge during training. Our method generates a super-resolution image by stitching slices side by side in the 3D image. While attaining equal, if not superior, results to 3D networks utilizing only 2D counterparts, the model complexity is reduced by around threefold.

  Recent 2D-to-3D human pose estimation works tend to utilize the graph structure formed by the topology of the human skeleton. We argue that this skeletal topology is too sparse to reflect the body structure and suffer from serious 2D-to-3D ambiguity problem. We propose a novel graph convolution network architecture, Hierarchical Graph Networks, to overcome these weaknesses.

The resulting annotations are sufficient to train from scratch 3D pose regressor networks that outperform the current state-of-the-art on in-the-wild benchmarks.
