A brief introduction to the challenge of reconstructing 3D shapes from images, presented through three real-world use cases I’ve encountered in my career. An overview of how conventional, hybrid, and cutting-edge techniques are applied in everyday scenarios—whether in the office, on the road, or even inside the human body. We take a closer look at LightNeuS and show that 3D reconstruction is the remaining piece for augmented reality and autonomous navigation inside the human colon.
Despite today's wide variety of sensors, some applications still rely on monocular imaging, limiting the ability to perform true-scale 3D reconstructions. This talk presents three pioneering steps towards real scale perception in Monocular Visual SLAM inside the human body.
