Check out this cool work from @hanyuc1110 on creating really useful new data for training 3D foundation models like VGGT!

He uses the wonderful zoo of images on Wikimedia Commons to reconstruct very nice 3D models of objects from vintage Atari computers to Ford Fiestas.

Choose life. Choose a train, a statue, a pipe organ. Choose a 1967 Volkswagen Beetle, a K6 red telephone box in London.

We chose not to choose. We reconstructed them all.

Introducing 🚂 📸 Trainspotting: 12,068 objects reconstructed in 3D from 311,886 found photos.

Please apply to come be a postdoc at Cornell through this wonderful Empire AI Fellows program! I'll be looking to recruit a postdoc myself alongside the rest of the vision group at Cornell Tech in NYC.

Yoav Artzi @yoavartzi Nov 2

Cornell (and me) is hiring postdocs, with focus on technical AI/ML research. Deadline for full consideration is Dec 15.

I am recruiting through this call as well. I encourage applying as early as possible, because I am starting to review folders now!

Honored and humbled to receive the ECVA PhD Award at #ECCV2026 @eccvconf! So grateful to my advisor @mapo1 for his guidance throughout, to all my brilliant coauthors over the years, and to the computer vision community for the support and the journey together. Thank you all

We use a sort of @elliottszwu-style strategy to build a dataset of symmetries in architectural scenes, then detect and localize symmetries in new images via signed-distance functions. This is really great work from Hanyu with very nice visuals!

Excited to share ArchSym at #CVPR2026! 🏛️

Existing 3D symmetry detectors work well on clean, object-centric data. But what about in the wild?

In our work, we tackle 3D-grounded reflectional symmetry detection specifically for real-world architectural landmarks.
