Abstract

Extracting 3D information from 2D has been a growing focus. With recent progress and more 3D datasets made available, it is possible to extract more complicated 3D information. Our research will focus on 3D reconstruction from movies using methods, such as structure from motion, stereo, and orbslam. Movies provide diverse and complicated information, difficult for machine to understand. We want to start with extracting 3D shape and location of objects from single frames then use sequential frames to 3D reconstruct. And because movies focus mostly on people, we can use trajectory, face, or pose to constrain the base 3D reconstruction. This project can contribute to creating VR simulations, reconstructing heritage, and helping machines learn from the immensity of available video data.

I have been working on this project in the past year. The number of real world applications our research can unlock always makes me feel excited. Through participating in SuperUROP, I hope to strengthen skills, such as writing papers and doing presentations. I also hope to fill in knowledge gaps, such as computational geometry and computer vision algorithms.
