Automated Camera Calibration

Posted

Camera calibration is a task as old as computer vision, but still today experience and supervision are crucial for getting valuable and reliable results. How to automate the calibration process via a robot for example? How to enable unskilled operators? In other words, how to put the calibration experience in an algorithm, without any compromise […]

Have you ever wondered how animation artists create near-to-human faces in animations? Think about monsters or caricatures. Well, maybe we don’t know the exact answer, but now we’ve an idea, and you can easily try it by yourself! Take a 3D Morphable Model #3DMM), like the Basel Face Model (https://lnkd.in/dUKXiDU) that we’re currently using in a […]

3D and Deep Learning: Implicit Representation?

Posted

One of the questions most addressed at ECCV 2020 was: How can we represent the 3D space in a suitable way for learning-based methods? Point-Clouds, Voxels, Meshes are some of the existing approaches, all with their pros (few) and cons (many). Implicit representation, on the other hand, is a relatively new idea in which the 3D […]

Special thanks to Michele Zini (ZPZ Partners) and Giovanni Faglioni (Nabla2). “Mi Albero” (“I become a tree”, in italian) is an projection-based interactive game where kids […]

HOLOLENS, EARLY TESTS

Posted

I had the chance to play around with Hololens a few weeks ago, and guys, it’s really really cool! I was asked to test if it could be used for short-range and extremely high-accuracy augmented reality, and it turned out that it may be not the right tool, but other than that specific context, the […]
