#CVPR2025 offers registration and travel support to students from underrepresented communities. Awards are based on need, contribution, travel distance, identity, and advisor support. Information and form: forms.gle/uDR2Q74drC4V...

Fueling up for #ICCV2025 deadline with some local Pizza! PS. I kind of like hanging around in the lab on the deadline day! So much energy all around!

Paper rejected from #CVPR2025, paper ready for #ICCV2025 💪

My students will present two papers, including one oral paper, in #WACV2025, which centers on personalized generative face models. Thanks @luchaoqi.bsky.social for leading this direction. Unfortunately, couldn't attend WACV as my other students needed me for MICCAI and ICCV deadlines!

I don’t know how this will be implemented, but may be time to search for opportunities outside the US!

🎉 Congratulations to Prof. @mohitbansal.bsky.social for receiving the Presidential #PECASE Award by @WhiteHouse, which is the highest honor bestowed by US govt. on outstanding scientists/engineers who show exceptional potential for leadership early in their careers! whitehouse.gov/ostp/news-up...

X is like this cringy Desi TV show, that you hate but continue watching … where I saw how trans hatred changed to Indians in tech hatred in matter of days - not sure how to feel about that! 😒

🚨 We have postdoc openings at UNC 🙂 Exciting+diverse NLP/CV/ML topics**, freedom to create research agenda, competitive funding, very strong students, mentorship for grant writing, collabs w/ many faculty+universities+companies, superb quality of life/weather. Please apply + help spread the word 🙏

SLAM algorithms struggle on endoscopy videos - specularity, textureless, & dynamic lighting. We introduce a Near-Field Light Bundle Adjst. loss (NFL-BA): improves performance of SOTA SLAM, e.g. MonoGS (⬆️35% in tracking, ⬆️48% in mapping). See asdunnbe.github.io/NFL-BA/ Led by Andrea & Daniel

Its almost time to recruit PhD students, any advice on how people identify the best students for their labs? This feels like the hardest and possibly the most consequential decision I have to make (so far I have been reasonably lucky). What qualities do you look for and any red flags to watch out?

💡Introducing ScribbleLight, a generative model that can relight an image with simple scribbles - making it easier for virtual staging and interior design of homes. Led by Jun-Myeong, collabs with Anand (TTIC), Pieter (W&M), and Annie. @unccs.bsky.social 👉 chedgekorea.github.io/ScribbleLight/

SOTA virtual face re-aging techniques often struggle to preserve identity for large age changes. We present MyTimeMachine, a personalized virtual aging gen. model, trained with ~50 images across 20-40 years. Check out more cool results here: mytimemachine.github.io 1/2 ⬇️👂

We are in the process of editing a SLAM handbook, to be published by Cambridge University Press, with many *stellar* contributors. Part 1 is available as an online draft for public comments. Help us find bugs/problems! Link to release repo is here: lnkd.in/gZhTkaxb

Holiday party with the UNC Vision & Graphics Lab students … where they get to see more relaxed version of me after the CVPR deadline! 🤣

When I will respond to your email

We are hiring! + extremely collegial department with strong focus in AI. + RTP (Raleigh, durham, chapel hill) is one of the nicest place to live - diverse and inclusive!

Starting out the bluesky journey looking for a strong PhD student in 3D Vision! If you are interested in 3D Vision - specially in using light & camera motion for reconstruction - MVS, SFM, SLAM with Photometric Stereo, and its application in robotics and medical imaging please reach out to me!
