To tackle this issue, scientists have developed multi-modal 3D object detection methods that combine 3D LiDAR data with 2D RGB images taken by standard cameras.

And it does so in less than 100 milliseconds. The Deets. NVIDIA has built an artificial intelligence that can create a detailed 3D model of an object — all from just a single image of it.

This so-called Large Photogrammetry Model is able to reconstruct 3D objects and scenes from just a few 2D photos, but with a big difference from current pipelines. Here’s why this is a big deal ...

Synopsis: Ritsumeikan University researchers introduce DPPFA−Net, a groundbreaking 3D object detection network melding LiDAR and image data to improve accuracy for robots and self-driving cars.

“We can change the camera pose and therefore get a new view of the object,” he says. The system could technically create an explorable 3D world from just two images, but it wouldn’t be very ...
