CVPR Daily - Thursday

Yu Sun , a PhD student at Washington University in St. Louis soon to join Caltech as a postdoc, shared exciting results on the application of neural fields to intensity-only optical tomographic imaging. Sabine Süsstrunk shared computational photography techniques aimed at reducing the cost of precise measurements of material properties, including some unpublished work that the community now eagerly awaits. Angjoo Kanazawa filled the room with an analysis of plenoptic function modeling, focusing on plenoxels and plenoctrees, that pushed back on the perceived role of neural networks in the recent and abundant success of NeRF-based techniques. John Murray-Bruce shared his method for seeing around corners with an ordinary camera. Felix Heide described the optics and computation that enable his nanophotonic cameras, smaller than a grain of rice. Mohit Gupta finished out the day by sharing recent advances in single- photon computer vision techniques, showing success over several orders of magnitude in light levels. In addition to these inspiring and diverse talks, the poster session featured 20 cutting-edge projects by researchers in the field. Through an hour and a half of robust discussion, we engaged with exciting new ideas in optics, illumination, and algorithms. A list of poster titles and authors, along with spotlight videos for several of the posters can be found on the CCD website, https://sites.northwestern.edu/ccd2022/ . A detailed preview of the workshop was published on Computer Vision News a few weeks before the event. We are particularly excited to have hosted a poster for the best paper honorary mention, Dual-Shutter Optical Vibration Sensing by Mark Sheinin , Dorian Chan , Matthew O’Toole , and Srinivasa Narasimhan . 25 DAILY CVPR Thursday Computational Cameras and Displays Sabine Süsstrunk Felix Heide
