Hacker News with Generative AI: 3D Reconstruction

3D reconstruction of the capital of the Aztec empire (thomaskole.nl)
The year is 1518. Mexico-Tenochtitlan, once an unassuming settlement in the middle of Lake Texcoco, now a bustling metropolis. It is the capital of an empire ruling over, and receiving tribute from, more than 5 million people. Tenochtitlan is home to 200.000 farmers, artisans, merchants, soldiers, priests and aristocrats.
3D scene reconstruction in adverse weather conditions via Gaussian splatting (arxiv.org)
3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) has gained significant attention for 3D scene reconstruction, but still suffers from complex outdoor environments, especially under adverse weather.
Representing Long Volumetric Video with Temporal Gaussian Hierarchy (zju3dv.github.io)
This paper aims to address the challenge of reconstructing long volumetric videos from multi-view RGB videos.
Self-Occluded Avatar Recovery from a Single Video in the Wild (soar-avatar.github.io)
A Unified Framework Self-occlusion is common when capturing people in the wild, where the performers do not follow predefined motion scripts. This challenges existing monocular human reconstruction systems that assume full body visibility. We introduce Self-Occluded Avatar Recovery (SOAR), a method for complete human reconstruction from partial observations where parts of the body are entirely unobserved. SOAR leverages structural normal prior and generative diffusion prior to address such an ill-posed reconstruction problem.
Brush – A new compatible Gaussian splatting engine (github.com/ArthurBrussee)
Brush is a 3D reconstruction engine using Gaussian splatting, aiming to be highly portable, flexible and fast.
