Every lens leaves a blur signature—a hidden fingerprint in every photo.

In our new #TPAMI paper, we show how to learn it fast (5 mins of capture!) with Lens Blur Fields ✨

With it, we can tell apart ‘identical’ phones by their optics, deblur images, and render realistic blurs.

Yeah document parsing is cool, but what about CAD drawing parsing... (but with documents too 🥺)

🏆 So honored that our paper received the Honorable Mention #Award at #SIGGRAPHAsia!

I really like this paper BTW, it is about procedural #SignedDistanceFields, a simple idea to #differentiate them and thus provide #DirectManipulation

More in the🧵⤵️ 1/8

Many think Rust is primarily about memory safety, but the real reason to use Rust is developer productivity (for C++-like system programming) from having a sane package manager and type system.

A year ago if I asked these LLMs about me it would have no idea. Still not entirely correct but scary it can hold this very obscure knowledge…

Yeah here's my geometry processing starter pack. I hand-picked researchers and practitioners either in geometry processing or not, and some people are definitely missing so,

14 years ago, if you uploaded a gif pfp with a fixed palette and size, it bypassed Twitter’s imagemagick pipeline and remained animated. They since fixed that bug, so no animated gifs were allowed since 2012.

Anyway this is how I’m stuck with DREAM_TIGER.gif as an identity

I made a computer graphics research starter pack- I most definitely missed lots of people so let me know 😄

Crazy how there is technical content here and not just politics / memes / rage bait / rumors 😆
