Aloha! If you are interested in some of the latest advances of stereo (or are still jetlagged like me) I'm giving a talk at the Embedded Vision Workshop at 9am!

DINO-SLAM: DINO-informed RGB-D SLAM for Neural Implicit and Explicit Representations

A few hours to recover from #CVPR2025 rebuttals...
then the 4th MDEC starts!

Dev phase opens tomorrow, with some nice updates!

If the salute can't convince you that you should not support any of his businesses, I don't know what will.

The 4th Monocular Depth Estimation Challenge (MDEC) is coming to #CVPR2025, and I’m excited to join the org team! After 2024’s breakthroughs in monodepth driven by generative model advances in transformers and diffusion, this year's focus is on OOD generalization and evaluation.

Sadra and I will be in Glasgow for the next few days, presenting our work with Matteo and Fabio at #BMVC tomorrow. I will be visiting some friends in Edinburgh afterwards and give a talk on Friday, looking forward to it all! last time I visited Scotland was in August, I cannot imagine late Nov 😅
