A new technique can model an entire 3D scene, including areas hidden from view, from just one camera image. The method relies on image shadows, which provide information about the geometry and ...

The model, called SHARP, can reconstruct a photorealistic 3D scene from a single image in under a second. Here are some examples. Apple has published a study titled Sharp Monocular View Synthesis in ...

The LucidDreamer project ties a variety of functions into a pipeline that can take a source image (or generate one from a text prompt) and “lift” its content into 3D, creating highly-detailed Gaussian ...

Wonder Dynamics made a strong opening play in AI-enhanced visual effects, providing tools animators and filmmakers actually find useful — and earning the startup a prompt acquisition by Autodesk.

NVIDIA Research has built and released an open-source AI model that can reconstruct 2D videos into detailed 3D structures, complete with intricate details and textures. Creators can then take these 3D ...

What if you could transform raw video footage into precise, professional-grade 3D camera movements without spending hours on tedious manual tracking? For filmmakers, visual effects artists, and 3D ...

The company co-founded by Tye Sheridan launched Wonder Animation with tech that creates CG animation in 3D space via AI reconstruction. Wonder Dynamics, the artificial intelligence start-up co-founded ...

The big picture: The Internet has long demonstrated the potential hazard involving unintentional reflections in photos. In 2015, researchers at MIT developed an algorithm to remove distracting (and ...
