I'm at CES giving demos of @compoundeyeinc real-time 3D perception tech. We leverage automotive-grade cameras for on road and off road perception tasks. Find me at booth #61401 in Tech West at the Venetian Hotel Expo January 7th and January 8th. #CES2023 #AutonomousVehicles

This beautiful work by @cut_pow suggests diffusion models have at minimum learned to reproduce static monocular depth cues. Not clear if that's the same as learning 3D geometry. But if not, MiDaS has no 3D knowledge either; it uses the same cues. FYI @jon_barron

Replying to @cut_pow
1.2 It heavily relies on the quality of depth maps, and uses the assumption that SD has implicit knowledge of the scene geometry in an image. So therefore it can plausibly inpaint missing parts without explicitly knowing underneath 3D meshes of the scene

#stablediffusion is remarkable. The failure cases are as interesting as the successes. Prompt "photograph of a young woman looking through a telescope, professional" @karpathy

The term "self-driving" is problematic but this is a really good summary of what's available today.

New episode now live: @devitt and @TaraniDuncan of @compoundeyeinc came by to talk camera-based depth perception with the gang, and in the process blew up all the stale, contrived "camera or lidar" debates. You want to listen to this one! autonocast.com/blog/2022/2/1…

#244: Jason Devitt and Tarani Duncan of Compound Eye — Autonocast

The asinine "camera vs lidar" debates are blown apart into several, far more interesting pieces in this week's episode, as the gang is joined by longtime friend of the show Tarani Duncan and Jason...

Eventful week in Mission Bay. A train just hit an unoccupied car at 16th and 7th while I was out for a run.

The view from my apartment right now. Huge fire in Mission Bay.
