PersonNeRF: Personalized Reconstruction from Photo Collections, CVPR 2023 

Chung-Yi Weng, Pratul Srinivasan, Brian Curless, Ira Kemelmacher-Shlizerman

Key idea:
We present PersonNeRF, a method that takes a collection of photos of a subject (e.g., Roger Federer) captured across multiple years with arbitrary body poses and appearances, and enables rendering the subject with arbitrary novel combinations of viewpoint, body pose, and appearance.

StyleSDF: High-Resolution 3D-Consistent Image and Geometry Generation, CVPR 2022 oral, 3% out of ~8k papers

Roy Or-El, Xuan Luo, Mengyi Shan, Eli Shechtman, JJ Park, Ira Kemelmacher-Shlizerman


Key idea:
Our method is trained on single-view RGB data only while solving two main challenges in 3D-aware GANs: 1) high-resolution, view-consistent generation of the RGB images, and 2) detailed 3D shape.

HumanNeRF: Free-viewpoint Rendering of Moving People from Monocular Video, CVPR 2022 oral, 3% out of ~8k papers

Chung-Yi Weng, Brian Curless, Pratul Srinivasan, Jonathan T. Barron, Ira Kemelmacher-Shlizerman

Key idea:
We introduce a free-viewpoint rendering method -- HumanNeRF -- that works on a given monocular video of a human performing complex body motions, e.g. a video from YouTube. Our method enables pausing the video at any frame and rendering the subject from arbitrary new camera viewpoints or even a full 360-degree camera path for that particular frame and body pose.

ClearBuds: Wireless Binaural Earbuds for Learning-based Speech Enhancement, Mobisys 2022 oral. Best demo award runner up. 

Ishan Chatterjee, Maruchi Kim, Vivek Jayaram, Shyamnath Gollakota, Ira Kemelmacher-Shlizerman, Shwetak Patel, Steven M. Seitz

Key idea:
ClearBuds is a state-of-the-art hardware and software system for real-time speech enhancement. Our neural network runs completely on an iphone, allowing to suppress unwanted noises while taking phone calls on the go. Results show that our wireless earbuds achieve a synchronization error less than 64 $\mu$s and our network has a runtime of 21.4 ms on an accompanying mobile phone.
