• Abstract: We introduce visual hints expansion for guiding stereo matching to improve generalization. Our work is motivated by the robustness of Visual Inertial Odometry (VIO) in computer vision and robotics, where a sparse and unevenly distributed set of feature points characterizes a scene. To improve stereo matching, we propose to elevate 2D hints to 3D points. These sparse and unevenly distributed 3D visual hints are expanded using a 3D random geometric graph, which enhances the learning and inference process. We evaluate our proposal on multiple widely adopted benchmarks and show improved performance without access to additional sensors other than the image sequence. To highlight practical applicability and symbiosis with visual odometry, we demonstrate how our methods run on embedded hardware.

  We introduce Semantic Gaussians, a novel open-vocabulary scene understanding approach based on 3D Gaussian Splatting. Unlike existing methods, we design a versatile projection approach that maps various 2D semantic features into a novel semantic component of 3D Gaussians. We build a 3D semantic network that directly predicts the semantic component from raw 3D Gaussians for fast inference.

  3D-aware image synthesis aims to generate images of objects from multiple views by learning a 3D representation. Existing approaches lack geometry constraints, hence usually fail to generate multi-view consistent images. We propose Multi-View Consistent Generative Adrial Networks (MVCGAN) for high-quality 3D-aware image synthesis with geometry constraints.

  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.
