*Who: *         Shubham Tulsiani, CMU

*Title:*          Reconstructing and Generating 3D
*Abstract:  * Modern reconstruction systems, leveraging advances in pose
estimation and generative modeling, can reconstruct everyday objects and
scenes from casually captured images. In this talk, I will highlight recent
work from our group that pushes these frontiers. I will first present a
learning-based approach to the structure-from-motion task, highlighting how
we can rethink camera parametrization for neural prediction methods. I will
then an approach for ‘ultra-fast’ 3D generation that allows users to
synthesize high-fidelity 3D assets in under a second. Finally, I will
outline a framework for combining generative priors and pose estimation for
high-fidelity 3D reconstruction ‘in-the-wild'.

*Short Bio*: Shubham Tulsiani is an Assistant Professor in the Robotics
Institute at CMU. Prior to this, he was research scientist at Facebook AI
Research (FAIR) and received a PhD. in Computer Science from UC Berkeley in
2018. He is interested in building perception systems that can infer the
spatial and physical structure of the world they observe. On a personal
note, his shared last name with another TTIC faculty is not a coincidence.
