*Who: *         Qianqian Wang, Berkeley

*Title:*           Learning to Perceive the 4D World
*Abstract:  *Perceiving the 4D world (i.e., 3D space over time) from visual
input is essential for human interaction with the physical environment.
While computer vision has made remarkable progress in 3D scene
understanding, much of it remains piecemeal—for example, focusing solely on
static scenes or specific categories of dynamic objects. How can we model
diverse dynamic scenes in the wild? How can we achieve online perception
with human-like capabilities? In this talk, I will first discuss holistic
scene representations that enable long-range motion estimation and 4D
reconstruction. I will then introduce a unified learning-based framework
for online dense 3D perception, which continuously refines scene
understanding with new observations. I will conclude by discussing future
directions and challenges in advancing spatial intelligence.

*Short Bio*:  Qianqian Wang is a postdoctoral researcher at UC Berkeley,
working with Prof. Angjoo Kanazawa and Prof. Alexei A. Efros. She received
her Ph.D. in Computer Science from Cornell University in 2023, advised by
Prof. Noah Snavely and Prof. Bharath Hariharan. Her research lies at the
intersection of computer vision, computer graphics, and machine learning.
She is a recipient of the ICCV Best Student Paper Award, Google PhD
Fellowship, and EECS Rising Stars.
