CVPR Daily - Thursday

Monocular perception is easy, cheap, and pretty much everywhere . Other forms of sensing can be much more expensive, cumbersome, and difficult to deploy. ” The workshop has a combination of invited talks and panels, with an exceptional line-up of experts from the field who will talk about their own experiences, including many friends of Computer Vision News like Anelia Angelova , Matthias Nießner , Angjoo Kanazawa , Daniel Cremers , Katerina Fragkiadaki , Georgia Gkioxari and more. There are two panel discussions titled ‘ Do we need monocular 3D perception? ’ and ‘ Are we making meaningful progress on monocular 3D perception? ’ “ It’s really important for us to discuss if we’re making progress in the right direction, ” Vitor tells us. “ At TRI, of course we care about research and pushing scientific boundaries, but we also care about real products that can be used in the real world , so we have to make sure that things are moving in a direction that we want to pursue as a technical company. We need to know that what we’re developing can eventually be used in a product, a self-driving car for example, and that we’re utilizing our time in the best possible way. It’s great to bring people together to discuss this so that we can come up with a direction for the whole community to address in the near future. ” 15 DAILY CVPR Thursday Frontiers of Monocular 3D Perception Joint monocular depth prediction and completion network, to be presented at this year's CVPR
