Episode Synopsis

Julian Chibane (Google Scholar) is a PhD student at the Real Virtual Humans group at the Max Planck Institute for Informatics in Germany.  His recent work centers around intrinsic functions for 3D reconstruction.Highlights from our conversation:🖼 How, surprisingly, the IF-Net architecture learned reasonable representations of humans & objects without priors🔢 A simple observation that led to Neural Unsigned Distance Fields, which handle 3D scenes without a clear inside vs. outside (most scenes!)📚 Navigating open questions in 3D representation, and the importance of focusing on what's working
