@LeeBraganza Free breakfast clubs feel like a very win/win/win/win use of public money

* Fewer hungry children
* More focused children
* More time for parents
* More employable parents

I'm really excited to share our #CVPR2025 paper *MVSAnywhere*. This is a robust, sharp, and highly generalisable depth estimation system.

This project was brilliantly led by @serizba: See his thread for all the beautiful videos, images and details 🧵👇

[Sergio Izquierdo @serizba]

🔍Looking for a multi-view depth method that just works?

We're excited to share MVSAnywhere, which we will present at #CVPR2025. MVSAnywhere produces sharp depths, generalizes and is robust to all kind of scenes, and it's scale agnostic.

Take a look at this great splatting transformation work from my brilliant Niantic colleagues. It's really quite amazing.

Splats are great, but wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could transform them into the stuff of dreams? Introducing our #CVPR2025 paper ✨Morpheus✨!

Morpheus lets you change the shape and appearance of 3D Gaussian splats with a few words!

I am really excited to share this latest hand pose estimation work from Niantic, by @gui_ggh and @EugValassakis.

This will appear at #ECCV2024 🎆

Take a look at the thread below 🧵👇

[The Labour Party @UKLabour]

Labour GAIN South East Cornwall from the Conservatives 🌹

[Michael Firman @_mdfirman]

🎉🎉👏👏💪💪

Congratulations @annagelderd MP!!

[Anna Gelderd MP @annagelderd]

Thank you to the people of South East Cornwall for voting for a fresh start and putting your trust in me.

We have made history with our first ever Labour MP here, and the hard work of change starts now.

[Michael Firman @_mdfirman]

If you happen to follow me and also live in S.E. Cornwall, please please head out and vote for @annagelderd on Thursday 🗳️🌹.

Anna's dedication and passion for important causes are unmatched; South East Cornwall could not ask for a better advocate 💪.

See the video for why 👇📽️

[Anna Gelderd MP @annagelderd]

This election in South East Cornwall is about change.

It’s our chance for our special corner of Cornwall to get its fair share from the next Government. From a Labour government.

We need a fresh start.

I am really excited to share DoubleTake, our new approach for state-of-the-art depth and reconstruction.

See @MohammedAmr1 's great thread 🧵👇 for details and shiny videos 🌟 – and see the project page for more!

[Mohamed Sayed @MohammedAmr1]

Are you frustrated of intermittently bad depth maps ruining your online pipeline 😫? Wish you could get fast 🚀 reuse of your previously predicted depth frames? Do you want shiny fast SOTA feedforward depth and meshes ✨?

Introducing DoubleTake!

DoubleTake: Geometry Guided Depth Estimation

@MohammedAmr1 @AleottiFilippo, Jamie Watson, Zawar Qureshi, @gui_ggh, Gabriel Brostow, Sara Vicente, @_mdfirman

tl;dr: SimpleRecon + "hint MLP", processing cost volume + previous depth estimate.
