  • Publication number: 20260030885
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer-readable medium for room reconstruction including storing a parametric model of rooms, the parametric model being generated based on extraction of perceptual parameters from images corresponding to views of the rooms and estimation of an architectural layout of the rooms based at least in part on the one or more perceptual parameters, augmenting the parametric model by identifying architectural elements in the architectural layout and replacing the architectural elements in the parametric model with architectural models corresponding to the architectural elements, assigning materials to surfaces of the parametric model based at least in part on at least one of the perceptual parameters, determining a lighting setup based on at least one of the perceptual parameters, and rendering a three-dimensional model of the rooms based at least in part on the parametric model, the assigned materials, and the lighting setup.

  • Publication number: 20240062345
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer-readable medium for foreground object deletion and inpainting, including storing contextual information corresponding to an image of a scene, identifying one or more foreground objects in the scene based at least in part on the contextual information, each foreground object having a corresponding object mask, identifying at least one foreground object in the one or more foreground objects for removal from the image, generating a removal mask corresponding to the at least one foreground object based at least in part on at least one object mask corresponding to the at least one foreground object, determining an estimated geometry of the scene behind the at least one foreground object based at least in part on the contextual information, and inpainting pixels corresponding to the removal mask with a replacement texture omitting the foreground object based at least in part on the estimated geometry of the scene.

  • Publication number: 20230419526
    Abstract: A method for layout extraction is provided. The method can include storing a plurality of scene priors corresponding to an image of a scene, detecting a plurality of borders in the scene, generating a plurality of initial plane masks and a plurality of plane connectivity values based at least in part on the plurality of borders, and generating a plurality of optimized plane masks by refining the plurality of initial plane masks based at least in part on an estimated geometry of the plurality of layout planes.
