Looking forward to the ICCV CV4Ecology Workshop, where I'll speak about AI for coral reef monitoring! 🪸🐟📸

This is insane. He is absolutely unfit to hold this position. He needs to be removed before he kills us.

Great work! But these kind of SfM/SLAM papers should visualize the accumulated 3D outputs. Showing per-frame 3D can be misleading, by hiding the misalignment between per-frame 3D reconstruction. For example, if the accumulated 3D output have multiple layer reconstruction for the

RGB-SLAM becomes a single forward through the network with no optimization needed. We still need to only keep keyframes to avoid exploding the costs. We simply check the 3D overlap between views and memory, ensuring new keyframes discover enough novel content...

@SecRubio This is democracy. This decision is the result of a thorough & independent investigation to protect our Constitution & the rule of law. It is independent courts that will have the final say. We have learnt from our history that rightwing extremism needs to be stopped.

We're looking for a motivated PhD student to join the ECEO Lab (@devistuia) at EPFL Valais to work on multi-modal foundation models for earth observation! 🌍🛰️💻🤓 https://t.co/sB2heaiOg0

Here's the link to the quick and dirty script to do this: https://t.co/CrSm6o9AT0

Using the Coralscapes dataset, it becomes easy to transfer semantic information directly into 3D point clouds! Here's an example of a few images from a simple camera being used to make a semantic point cloud of an entire transect! #deeplearning #ai #coral #ai4conservation

This has been a colossal effort from the team: data acquisition, 1500+ hours of expert annotation, and benchmarking! 🤓 A big thank you to my co-authors @Viktor_Do_, Guilhem Banc-Prandi, Gabriela Perna, Anders Meibom, @devistuia, and all members and partners of the @trsc_org!

More details in the pre-print: https://t.co/7WvKa8QB2c Coral reefs are under unprecedented threat, and monitoring is crucial to devising and assessing effective conservation strategies. Automated coral surveys based on computer vision have potential to scale monitoring up!

Project website: https://t.co/oDv2NTCDCw, w/ code, pre-trained models, and the download. Coralscapes is deliberately designed to follow the structure of Cityscapes, facilitating the use of state-of-the-art semantic segmentation neural networks in a challenging ecological domain!

New pre-print: The Coralscapes dataset for semantic scene understanding in coral reefs! 🤿🪸🎥🐟🐠🐡 Coralscapes is the first dataset consistently annotated for general-purpose semantic segmentation in reefs, spanning 174k segmentation masks of 39 benthic classes on 2074 images

So the position of the Trump-Vance administration — and every member of Congress unless they explicitly say otherwise — is quite literally you do not have guaranteed free speech rights in America if you say things they don't like. That is the headline.

So.. uhh... is anybody going to actually do anything meaningful about this? Or is it the new normal in the U.S. that those with legal status will be roughed up due to exercising their right to free speech?

As a shortlisted author for our 2024 Robert May prize, we asked @josauder some questions on his research and journey in ecology 🌎 Read the full blog here 👇 https://t.co/HRPzMSaOW4

Fun Fact: Democrats are wearing pink tonight as a symbolic protest against people who want them to do something meaningful

If Russia wants peace, they should end the invasion.

What will it take for America to finally stand up?

It would take seven patriotic Republicans to stop this. Only seven. And we can’t even find one

Ukraine is Europe! We stand by Ukraine. We will step up our support to Ukraine so that they can continue to fight back the agressor. Today, it became clear that the free world needs a new leader. It’s up to us, Europeans, to take this challenge.
