Rohan Chacko<\/a><\/h1>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Rohan is a graduate student at Carnegie Mellon University pursuing his master’s in Computer Vision. Previously, he was an undergraduate at the International Institute of Information Technology<\/a>, Hyderabad, India. Over there, he worked on single-view methods for 3D human reconstruction under the guidance of Dr. P.J. Narayanan<\/a> and Dr. Avinash Sharma<\/a>. His work primarily involved formulating a novel shape representation for efficient high-quality 3D renderings of humans under loose clothing. He has also interned at Dr. David Held<\/a>‘s lab working on zero-shot object segmentation methods. His interests are broadly in the field of 3D vision and learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sri Nitchith Akula<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Sri Nitchith is a graduate student at Carnegie Mellon University pursuing his master’s in Computer Vision. Previously, he worked at Samsung R&D Institute India – Bangalore<\/a> from 2016 – 2020. His work primarily involved improving video compression and image super-resolution using Deep Learning for mobile devices. He completed his undergraduate at the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay<\/a> in 2016. During that time, he worked with Prof. Bipin Rajendran<\/a> on Neuromorphic Computing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Aswin Sankaranarayanan<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Aswin’s research deals with understanding the interaction of light with materials, devising theories and imaging architectures to capture these interactions, and finally developing a deeper understanding of the world around us based on these interactions. While these interactions involve very high-dimensional signals, there are underlying structures that enable them to be modeled parsimoniously using low-dimensional models. Aswin’s research identifies low-dimensional models for high-dimensional visual signals using both physics-based and learning-based formulates, and develop imaging architectures and algorithms that exploit these low-dimensional models for efficient sensing and inference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Project Responsibilities<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In Spring ’22, we worked on the literature survey and brainstormed ideas to experiment. As part of this, we created our own synthetic Focus-Aperture stack dataset, implemented the MPI-based approach, and concluded that it was advantageous to focus on a NeRF-based approach. We took inspiration from Mip-NeRF to model defocused images. We conducted some early experiments that did not yield satisfactory results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Fall’22, we identified issues in our dataset and implementation. We fixed all those issues and conducted all the experiments shown in the NeRF approach. It’s interesting to see that a model trained on defocused images can generate all-in-focus images and different defocus effects during test time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
