🚀 DinoV3 just became the new go-to backbone for geoloc!
It outperforms CLIP-like models (SigLip2, finetuned StreetCLIP)… and that’s shocking 🤯
Why? CLIP models have an innate advantage — they literally learn place names + images. DinoV3 doesn’t.

I am heartbroken that I am not at the conference, but seeing what the government is doing to its people and the world, I simply couldn't go there.

Looking forward to #CVPR2025! We will present the following papers:

This is an idea I've had for a while, but wow, it's working way better than expected! 🚀
The model looks really promising, even though it's just 256px for now.

🔥🔥🔥 CV Folks, I have some news! We're organizing a 1-day meeting in center Paris on June 6th before CVPR called CVPR@Paris (similar as NeurIPS@Paris) 🥐🍾🥖🍷

Registration is open (it's free) with priority given to authors of accepted papers: cvprinparis.github.io/CVPR2025InPa...

Big 🧵👇 with details!

Starter pack including some of the lab members: go.bsky.app/QK8j87w

Introducing DaD, Part 2, a pretty cool keypoint detector.

1/13 🐊 Introducing our latest work on improving relative camera pose regression with a novel pre-training approach Alligat0R (arxiv.org/abs/2503.07561)!

tl;dr: CroCo based; pixel in 1st image->co-visible or occluded or outside FOV in 2nd image

🚨 News! 🚨

We have released the models from our latest paper "How far can we go with ImageNet for text-to-image generation?"

Check out the models on HuggingFace:

Check out our latest work on Text-to-Image generation! We've successfully trained a T2I model using only ImageNet data by leveraging captioning and data augmentation.

🚨 New preprint!

TL;DR: Train a text-to-image model using 1000 less data in 200 GPU hrs!

🧩 Excited to share our paper "RUBIK: A Structured Benchmark for Image Matching across Geometric Challenges" (arxiv.org/abs/2502.19955) accepted to #CVPR2025! We created a benchmark that systematically evaluates image matching methods across well-defined geometric difficulty levels. 🔍

🤔 What if embedding multimodal EO data was as easy as using a ResNet on images?
Introducing AnySat: one model for any resolution (0.2m–250m), scale (0.3–2600 hectares), and modalities (choose from 11 sensors & time series)!

We @imagineenpc.bsky.social are slowly but surely entering our proposals for master's degree internships here: docs.google.com/document/d/1...
These are 6 months projects that typically correspond to the end-of-study project in the French curriculum.
Probably more offers to come, check it regularly.
