Until recently, 3D surface reconstruction has been a relatively slow, painstaking process involving significant trial and error and manual input. But what if you could take a video of an object or scene with your smartphone and turn it into an accurate, detailed model, the way a master sculptor creates masterpieces from marble or clay? Its creators claim that the aptly named Neuralangelo does just that through the power of neural networks—and with submillimeter accuracy.Until recently, 3D surface reconstruction has been a relatively slow, painstaking process involving significant trial and error and manual input.

University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign researchers have developed a novel method for underwater geolocalization using deep neural networks that have been trained on 10 million polarization-sensitive images collected from locations around the world. This new study, led by electrical and computer engineering professor Viktor Gruev, along with computer science professor David Forsyth, enables underwater geolocalization using only optical data while providing a tool for tethered-free underwater navigation.University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign researchers have developed a novel method for underwater geolocalization using deep neural networks that have been trained on 10 million polarization-sensitive images collected from locations around the world.

In a paper published in Machine Intelligence Research, a team of researchers study whether 3D synthetic data can replace real-world videos for association training. Specifically, they introduce a large-scale synthetic data engine named MOTX, where the motion characteristics of cameras and objects are manually configured to be similar to those of real-world datasets.In a paper published in Machine Intelligence Research, a team of researchers study whether 3D synthetic data can replace real-world videos for association training.
