While recent feed-forward 3D reconstruction models accelerate 3D reconstruction by jointly inferring dense geometry and camera poses in a single pass, their reliance on dense attention imposes a ...

After Ghibli-style images earlier in the year, a new trend has engulfed social media, where users are generating 3D model images of themselves using Google's new and powerful Gemini 2.5 Flash model, ...

Apple researchers have created an AI model that reconstructs a 3D object from a single image, while keeping reflections, highlights, and other effects consistent across different viewing angles. Here ...

In 2026, game developers are leveraging AI tools to amplify creativity and innovation. These tools expedite ideation, asset creation, and prototyping, all under human supervision. They serve as force ...

Designers, makers, and others often use 3D printing to rapidly prototype a range of functional objects, from movie props to ...

Know what message you’re trying to communicate before you get down in the weeds. by Scott Berinato Not long ago, the ability to create smart data visualizations, or dataviz, was a nice-to-have skill.

Machine learning is the ability of a machine to improve its performance based on previous results. Machine learning methods enable computers to learn without being explicitly programmed and have ...

Welcome to Smithsonian Open Access, where you can download, share, and reuse millions of the Smithsonian’s images—right now, without asking. With new platforms and tools, you have easier access to ...

Abstract: Knowledge-based Visual Question Answering (VQA) is a challenging task that requires models to access external knowledge for reasoning. Large Language Models (LLMs) have recently been ...

Abstract: Achieving monocular camera localization within pre-built LiDAR maps can bypass the simultaneous mapping process of visual SLAM systems, potentially reducing the computational overhead of ...

The goal of this project is to develop a pipeline that can do online 3D reconstruction of small scale obejects, only using visual data from RGB-D camera. While some commercial 3D scanner can provide ...

9 Apr 2026, 21:08 UTC · By: Cristian Gnaticov // The Mercedes-Benz GLA EQ has been masterfully rendered ahead of its arrival in showrooms, presumably for the 2027 model year ...
