This clever new algorithm can make 3D objects from 2D photosResearchers have written an algorithm to derive 3D graphics from 2D data, quickly and at scale Microsoft researchers claim to have devised ...

Disney Research has developed an algorithm which can generate 3D computer models from 2D images in great detail, sufficient, it says, to meet the needs of video game and film makers.

Heiner Kremer, who wrote the algorithm to optimize the hologram fields, adds: “The digitization of an entire 3D object into ultrasound hologram fields is computationally very demanding and required us ...

The quality improves but the computational cost skyrockets. That’s held back the otherwise highly desirable possibility of extrapolating 3D forms from 2D images.

However, these algorithms are designed for scenes consisting of a single object, rather than scenes composed of many objects, as used in video production.

A “bat-sense” algorithm that generates images from sounds could be used to catch burglars and monitor patients without using CCTV, the technique’s inventors say.

3D printing works in a pretty simple way - you build up a three-dimensional object over time in a series of layers. But now a team of Austrian computer scientists has designed an alternative approach.

Roblox is launching and open-sourcing Cube 3D, the first version of its foundational AI model for generating 3D objects. The model is trained on 3D objects.
