World Tracing: Generative Pixel-Aligned Geometry Beyond the Visible
Hao Zhang, Mohamed El Banani, Jen-Hao Cheng +6
Image-to-3D methods often trade off faithfulness and completeness: depth estimators are anchored to input pixels but stop at the visible surface, while image-to-3D models generate…
Self-Supervised Correspondence Estimation via Multiview Registration
Mohamed El Banani, Ignacio Rocco, David Novotny +4
Video provides us with the spatio-temporal consistency needed for visual learning. Recent approaches have utilized this signal to learn correspondence estimation from close-by fram…
Bootstrap Your Own Correspondences
Mohamed El Banani, Justin Johnson
Geometric feature extraction is a crucial component of point cloud registration pipelines. Recent work has demonstrated how supervised learning can be leveraged to learn better and…
UnsupervisedR&R: Unsupervised Point Cloud Registration via Differentiable Rendering
Mohamed El Banani, Luya Gao, Justin Johnson
Aligning partial views of a scene into a single whole is essential to understanding one's environment and is a key component of numerous robotics tasks such as SLAM and SfM. Recent…
Novel Object Viewpoint Estimation through Reconstruction Alignment
Mohamed El Banani, Jason J. Corso, David F. Fouhey
The goal of this paper is to estimate the viewpoint for a novel object. Standard viewpoint estimation approaches generally fail on this task due to their reliance on a 3D model for…
Adviser Networks: Learning What Question to Ask for Human-In-The-Loop Viewpoint Estimation
Mohamed El Banani, Jason J. Corso
Humans have an unparalleled visual intelligence and can overcome visual ambiguities that machines currently cannot. Recent works have shown that incorporating guidance from humans…
