Research news on Computational 3D vision

Computational 3D vision concerns algorithms and sensor systems that infer three-dimensional structure, motion, and semantics from visual and related signals. Methods span monocular and multi-view 3D reconstruction, depth estimation, inverse rendering, and 4D scene capture, often integrating LiDAR, radar, infrared, and event or neuromorphic sensors. Deep learning architectures and data-driven simulation play central roles in segmentation, pose estimation, anomaly detection, and novel view synthesis, enabling robust perception, mapping, and editing of complex environments for robotics, autonomous systems, and immersive displays.

New system recognizes masked faces using eyes and forehead

A face-recognition system that can identify people even if they are wearing a face mask covering their nose and mouth is discussed in the International Journal of Computational Vision and Robotics. The new system uses biometrics ...

AI helps turn citizen photos into water-level data

For the past 15 years, Christopher Lowry, Ph.D., has led CrowdHydrology, a University at Buffalo citizen-science project that relies on thousands of volunteers to collect water-level observations from streams and other waterways ...

What happens when AI runs out of pictures?

A hospital may only ever collect a few dozen scans of a rare condition—for example, an unusual tumor. The radiology department wants software to flag this on a scan—not to replace a specialist, but to ensure a hospital without ...
