Pumped to be bringing Wayve AI Driver to Mercedes-Benz vehicles!
We’re partnering with @MercedesBenz! We’ve signed a definitive production agreement to integrate the Wayve AI Driver into future Mercedes-Benz vehicles, bringing intelligent and scalable driving assistance technology to more consumers. As part of a multi-year technical collaboration, we’ve integrated the AI Driver into the Mercedes-Benz production system architecture using their HW & MB.OS - watch us driving around the world in DE, US, & UK 🌍

The source code for VKSR is now available on GitHub: github.com/mweiherer/vksr Give it a try and let me know what you think!
Introducing Vecchia Kernel Surface Reconstruction (VKSR), an implicit surface reconstruction method that efficiently scales kernel surface reconstruction to dense and large-scale point clouds with millions of points. I'm presenting VKSR at #ECCV2026 in Malmö now at poster #190!

Thou shalt not make unto thy model a graven geometry: neither mask, nor mesh, nor cloud of points. For blessed is the learner that seeth and acteth as one, and letteth the hidden structure reveal itself.

HUGE thank you to @y_m_asano for hosting me in Nürnberg and Amsterdam, @VisionBernie in Erlangen, and @dimadamen in Bristol! Trip of a lifetime. Heading back home to Toronto for a month and then in May, Zurich will be my home base for the spring/summer hosted by @davsca1! 🤗
That’s a wrap on my 3-month sabbatical visit at LMU in Björn Ommer’s group. Leaving with so many great memories and new friends. They work hard and play hard, and I really enjoyed the group’s camaraderie ❤️ It’s truly a special lab. Keep an eye out for their upcoming work 💪🤐 Thank you so much Björn for opening your lab to me. Special shoutout to @StefanABaumann for the many dinners and long discussions. I’ll miss it!

Spending the day in Erlangen 🤗
We will have @CSProfKGD presenting on Friday 13th at noon in lecture hall 13 at @UniFAU "In Search of Universal Concepts" Very much looking forward to this visit! (twitter was the platform that initiated our contact, this is why I break my silence on this platform)

🚀Excited to share our paper "Towards Integrating Multi-Spectral Imaging with Gaussian Splatting" was accepted at VMV 2025! 🎉 We fuse RGB & multi-spectral imagery (red, green, red-edge, near-infrared) into the 3D Gaussian Splatting framework. 🔗Project: meyerls.github.io/towards_mu…

Excellent perceptual perturbations, 10/10
We proudly present the static spin illusion - a finalist of the Best Illusion of The Year Contest. You perceive a rotation? There is none! Saleeta Qadir student at @UniFAU built this illusion using computer vision and image processing - please vote for her vote.illusionoftheyear.com/

Had a great experience presenting our work on 3D scene reconstruction from a single image with @VisionBernie at #3DV2025 🇸🇬 andreeadogaru.github.io/Gen3… Reach out if you're interested in discussing our research or exploring international postdoc opportunities @CogCoVi @UniFAU

Also, the paper is only on arxiv, we have no plans to submit, and the code is super simple If anyone wants to add results we're flexible with it, and we can add new authors Our goal is to have a reference paper for anyone doing retrieval, so we can update the paper as needed
Curious about image retrieval and contrastive learning? We release the most comprehensive retrieval benchmark, with thousands of experiments on 4 diverse datasets, dozens of losses, investigating batch sizes, LRs, training techniques, data labeling, and much more! A summary ⬇️

Happy to share our latest 3D generative breast model: the *implicit* RBSM, or iRBSM for short. As opposed to its PCA-based predecessor, the iRBSM leverages implicit neural representations, yielding a highly detailed and expressive 3D breast model. Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2412.13244

Scanning Electron Microscopes analyze invisible surfaces. However, they’re taking grayscale images. Manual coloring is a cumbersome process and that’s why FAU researchers are using the 3D structure to propagate one colorized view to a whole scene. Impressive! 🎨 By Micronaut.

ArCSEM: Artistic Colorization of SEM Images via Gaussian Splatting Contributions (cited): - We obtain a precise and intricate 3D representation of a pollen captured by Scanning Electron Microscopes (SEM), enabling novel view synthesis. – We achieve 3D colorization of the grayscale 3D scene using a limited number of manually colored images, enabling colored novel view synthesis. – We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach compared to previous methods through comprehensive experiments.
