RHINO-AR: An Augmented Reality Exhibit for Teaching Mobile Robotics Concepts in Museums
Nils Dengler, Tim Graf, Leif Van Holland +3
We present RHINO-AR, an interactive Augmented Reality (AR) museum exhibit that reintroduces the historical mobile robot RHINO into its original exhibition environment at the Deutsc…
Transformer-Based Inpainting for Real-Time 3D Streaming in Sparse Multi-Camera Setups
Leif Van Holland, Domenic Zingsheim, Mana Takhsha +4
High-quality 3D streaming from multiple cameras is crucial for immersive experiences in many AR/VR applications. The limited number of views - often due to real-time constraints -…
Moment-Based 3D Gaussian Splatting: Resolving Volumetric Occlusion with Order-Independent Transmittance
Jan U. Müller, Robin Tim Landsgesell, Leif Van Holland +2
The recent success of 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) has reshaped novel view synthesis by enabling fast optimization and real-time rendering of high-quality radiance fields. However,…
NeRFs are Mirror Detectors: Using Structural Similarity for Multi-View Mirror Scene Reconstruction with 3D Surface Primitives
Leif Van Holland, Michael Weinmann, Jan U. Müller +2
While neural radiance fields (NeRF) led to a breakthrough in photorealistic novel view synthesis, handling mirroring surfaces still denotes a particular challenge as they introduce…
RHINO-VR Experience: Teaching Mobile Robotics Concepts in an Interactive Museum Exhibit
Erik Schlachhoff, Nils Dengler, Leif Van Holland +4
In 1997, the very first tour guide robot RHINO was deployed in a museum in Germany. With the ability to navigate autonomously through the environment, the robot gave tours to over…
VHS: High-Resolution Iterative Stereo Matching with Visual Hull Priors
Markus Plack, Hannah Dröge, Leif Van Holland +1
We present a stereo-matching method for depth estimation from high-resolution images using visual hulls as priors, and a memory-efficient technique for the correlation computation.…
