Photoreal Reconstruction
We present a method for photoreal scene reconstruction which uses RGB data from Aria glasses to recreate real scenes using a gaussian splatting representation.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Reconstructing scenes from video captured on any egocentric device
This novel method aims to solve the limitations of creating high-quality scene reconstruction from wearable egocentric devices. We demonstrate a solution using visual-inertial bundle adjustment (VIBA) and incorporating a physical image formation model based on Gaussian Splatting.
APPLICATIONS
Reconstructing outdoor scenes at a large scale
Using this method, we create large-scale scene reconstructions from casual RGB captures from Aria Gen 1 glasses in diverse outdoor scenarios.
APPLICATIONS
Reconstructing high quality indoor scenes with lifted dynamic range
The illumination in indoor scenes can create challenges for the glasses form factor. By capturing videos with fast-exposures and visible noise, we create high dynamic range noise-free novel-view rendering.
APPLICATIONS
Improving reconstruction with online calibration
The human head moves fast and frequently. We use visual inertial bundle adjustment to online calibrate RGB cameras, and use that to further model a rolling-shutter aware Gaussian Splatting reconstruction.
APPLICATIONS
Creating high quality digital twin objects
We serve as a competitive baseline for high quality novel-view rendering for digital twin objects observed by Aria glasses.
Aria Scenes Dataset
Aria Scenes is a benchmark dataset for future research on photorealistic reconstruction. The dataset includes 12 .vrs files created in diverse indoor and outdoor environments.
