That's a really cool idea! This technology does a fantastic job at reconstructing static scenes. The moving objects -- people, cars, even flora -- are out of scope here. Why? It's really hard to build a 3D model of something you only see from one direction.
- airstrike 6y agoBut if we know what a car ought to look like in 3D, can't we take the one photo we have from one direction and just fill in the blanks with that a priori 3D knowledge?
- withjive 6y agoSimilar to how GPT-3 can be applied not only to create Text, but also fill in missing pieces of Images (ie. complete the missing half of a face). Would the logical next step, use GPT-3 to create a 3D world? :)

- jhurliman 6y agoGetting there. This is one part of the puzzle: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2007.11965 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2007.11965
- trilinearnz 6y agoAnyone remember this scene from Enemy of The State (1998)? https://youtu.be/3EwZQddc3kY?t=45 https://youtu.be/3EwZQddc3kY?t=45 Jon Voight: "Can the computer take us around to the other side?" Jack Black: "It can HYPOTHESIZE" :)
- sprafa 6y agoI was amazed at the scene at the time, and thought it was unbelievable. But then i read they had NSA advisors and maybe the US govt might have had access to some sort of primitive photogrammetry at the time?
