A model that generates hand-object interactions based on text prompts!

I'm happy to share our @SIGGRAPHAsiapaper “DiffH2O: Diffusion-Based Synthesis of Hand-Object Interactions from Textual Descriptions”.

A purely synthetic face prior can generalize to casual in-the-wild captures and stylized faces 🤯

I'm happy to share our @SIGGRAPHAsia paper “Cafca: High-quality Novel View Synthesis of Expressive Faces from Casual Few-shot Captures.”

[Dimitris Tzionas @dimtzionas]

Reconstructing 3D human-object interactions from images/videos is a key step towards realistic #3D humans for #AR/#VR and assistive #robots/#AI.

To tackle this challenging problem my team and I have received an ERC Starting Grant 🎉 #ERCStG

📢 We look for 3x #PhD candidates!

We highly value a strong programming and mathematical background in candidates, along with a strong creativity, curiosity, self-motivation and team spirit!

We offer an exciting opportunity to conduct internationally visible #research in the stimulating environment of the University of Amsterdam (@UvA_Amsterdam, @UvA_Science, @Ellis_Amsterdam) along with a strong network of international collaborators, with a competitive compensation, while working in the brand new Lab42 building and living in one of the world’s most lively and liveable cities!

The goal is performing cutting-edge fundamental research, publishing at top-tier venues, releasing data and code for the community, and introducing new research problems.

If you are attending #ECCV2024 and have questions, I am happy to discuss with you at MiCo! (plz ping me via email)

🆘 Application deadline: Oct 31 🆘 CEST timezone

As a closing remark, a big thanks to @ERC_Research, all reviewers and panel members, as well as to all collaborators that contributed along the years for this exciting opportunity to arise! 🙏

Are you interested in hair reconstruction, human pose and shape estimation, digital human with clothing deformation, and hand-object interaction? Checkout our ECCV papers in the poster session at #ECCV2024! See 🧵.

[AIT Lab @ait_eth]

🚀 #CVPR2024 is almost here! Next week, AIT will present 8 papers at the conference. We're excited to share overviews of each project right here. Looking forward to connecting with you all in Seattle! 🌟

#CVPR2024 Highlight: HOLD (https://t.co/p6wfctnTsQ) is a self-supervised method to reconstruct 3D hand-object from RGB videos. It is category-agnostic, does not require an object template, generalizes to in-the-wild settings!

[Morteza Sadat @Msadat97]

Introducing "cads: unleashing the diversity of diffusion models through condition-annealed sampling"

TL;DR: CADS is an inference method to increase the diversity of diffusion models while maintaining high quality.

In 2022, I finished 2 half marathons, 2 MTB races, and my computer vision research group was firing on all cylinders. In 2023 our lives were turned upside down by severe #LongCovid and #MECFS.

[Michael Black @Michael_J_Black]

Given a monocular video as input, #HOLD reconstructs 3D hand and object surfaces for every frame without assuming a known object template. Our key insight is that interacting hands and objects provide complementary cues about each other's shape and pose. 1/4

Happy to share our new paper on hair reconstruction that will appear at #ICCV2023, congrats to @ness_pirs and colleagues!

We produce a detailed and personalized strand-based hairstyle from the monocular video.

#CVPR Our AIT members are in Vancouver! Come to join our poster sessions! Here we show the schedule of our latest research grouped by poster sessions. Monday AM: Generalized Skill Embeddings

[Otmar Hilliges @OHilliges]

Implicit surfaces are great to reconstruct 3D humans. However, editing is hard because the geometry is represented by a single continuous function. In our upcoming #CVPR2023 paper, we overcome this by combining the advantages of explicit and implicit representations.

Warning: personal and emotional thread.

Today is #MEAwarenessDay and we are heartbroken 💔. Our smart, athletic, ball-of-energy 10 year old is now bedridden and unable to stand or walk since January due to #LongCOVID and #MECFS. #LongCovidKids
