What's the next frontier after LLMs, that will demand nuclear-powered GPU clusters? No agents or AGI please
The 4th Monocular Depth Estimation Challenge (MDEC) is coming to #CVPR2025, and I’m excited to join the org team! After 2024’s breakthroughs in monodepth driven by generative model advances in transformers and diffusion, this year's focus is on OOD generalization and evaluation.
Monocular depth meets depth completion🚀 Check out our latest work where we modified Marigold to a zero-shot depth completion tool. Everything without retraining🌼 (This paper, for once, contains geese instead of cats😄 keep an eye open)
Introducing ⇆ Marigold-DC — our training-free zero-shot approach to monocular Depth Completion with guided diffusion! If you have ever wondered how else a long denoising diffusion schedule can be useful, we have an answer for you! Details 🧵

The most recent fads are "the mind is a like a computer" and now "the mind is like an LLM." 🤷♂️
Introducing 👀Stereo4D👀 A method for mining 4D from internet stereo videos. It enables large-scale, high-quality, dynamic, *metric* 3D reconstructions, with camera poses and long-term 3D motion trajectories. We used Stereo4D to make a dataset of over 100k real-world 4D scenes.
3D illusions are fascinating! 🤩 But it takes exceptional artistic skills to make one. We present Illusion3D - a simple method for creating 3D multiview illusions, where the interpretations change depending on your perspectives. Let's play Where's Waldo, shall we? 😆

Introducing 🛹 RollingDepth 🛹 — a universal monocular depth estimator for arbitrarily long videos! Our paper, “Video Depth without Video Models,” delivers exactly that, setting new standards in temporal consistency. Check out more details in the thread 🧵
The iPhone LiDAR depth is pretty stable but low-res and low detail. Monodepth is highly detailed but unstable ("depth flickering"). For more stable and detailed metric depth, I solve for the per-frame affine transform that optimally "anchors" the monodepth to the LiDAR. youtube.com/shorts/u3OVj...
