Spread the word!

Oo, I would have loved to be there for the bicycle trip in addition to the meeting 😀

This is what you do when you set allow_sliding=true in your Habitat simulator. If you want to run test with sim2real transfer, you might want to consider wearing a helmet !

In a new paper led by Gianluca Monaci, with @weinzaepfelp.bsky.social and myself, we explore the relationship between rel pose estimation and image goal navigation and study different architectures: late fusion, channel cat (w/ or w/o space2depth) and cross-attention.

Excited to share our latest work in the *St3R family. PanSt3R, accepted at #ICCV25 proposes a unified and integrated approach for panoptic 3D scene reconstruction and panoptic segmentation in a single forward pass.

We extended MUSt3R with semantic awareness and multi-view panoptic segmentation capabilities in PanSt3R, accepted at #ICCV2025

Also valid for overleaf 😀

Yeah, I am making the stats for ~2 years and it seems pretty similar with about 35-40% before final decision and 75-80% at the start of the conference.

Yeah I was expecting also lower. But scholar-inbox indeed finds quite a lot of relevant papers that I was not aware of.

[Note: the stat is done by searching titles on arXiv (with some manual matching for small differences), but this might not be perfect when titles has changed too much.]

When were #CVPR2025 papers available on arXiv? 👇

Wanna the outstanding performance of MASt3R while using a ViT-B or ViT-S encoder instead of its ViT-L one? Don't miss how we build DUNE, a single encoder for diverse 2D & 3D tasks, at this afternoon #CVPR2025 poster session (poster #376).

Our work on "Reasoning in visual navigation..." presented as a "Highlight" by Boris Chidlovskii and Francesco Giuliari at #cvpr2025!

Interactive site, play around with dynamical models:

Thanks @weinzaepfelp.bsky.social for the photo.

Checkout MUSt3R and Pow3R during this morning session at #CVPR2025 (posters 82 & 84) and give a try to their code.
Get the Pow3R to integrate priors into your 3D reconstructions; and obtain nice SfM/SLAM reconstructions with MUSt3R by leverating a memory mechanism.

MUSt3R and Pow3R code the same day 😮!
All @naverlabseurope.bsky.social code & data can be accessed here europe.naverlabs.com/research/code/

During today's #CVPR2025 workshops, I will present:
- What matters in ImageNav: architecture, pre-training, sim settings, pose (poster & highlight at the Embodied AI workshop)
- CondiMen: Conditional Multi-person Human Mesh Recovery (Poster at the Rhobin workshop and at the 3D Humans workshop)

Apparently, it is supposed to be a 1:1 replica of the Parthenon

Good morning Nashville !
Few pics from an (really) early jet-lagged run

There should be some best poster design award at conferences 😀

Thanks Christian for the advertisement.

There are likely pretty much related, but model merging is restricted to the exact same architecture, even for tiny details: like what if you wanna directly merge Dust3r or Mast3r that uses RoPE positional embed with another model that uses absolute pos. embed (like ViT models).

Incorporating physics into embodied AI has massive impact on out-of-the-box robot navigation! @steevenj7.bsky.social & @chriswolfvision.bsky.social share what was learned in moving from simulation to the real world with #spatialAI ➡️ tinyurl.com/k83svt8a

We have a new blog post on how we optimized end-to-end training of navigation in simulation with physical models, allowing fast and precise motion. The post is simplified, animated, and should be very accessible. Great work by the Spatial AI team, writing by Steeven, myself and the NLE Coms team.

🔊 Only a few days left to apply to the #PAISS2025 summer school !!
This is a fantastic opportunity to learn and to network, especially for students 🎓

Watch till the end 😀

Love the memes 😍

and the work obviously 😅

Nice 👍

A bit of cycling after the #ICCV2025 deadline rush

Ad on research positions and internships at NAVER LABS Europe, Grenoble, France in February 2025

Welcome to NAVER LABS Europe on Bluesky! We chose 'LABS blue' to kickoff our posts & we'd appreciate it if you could share this one widely tinyurl.com/2nt9jdnv 😊 #hiring #jobs #internships

The view from my new office at NaverLabs (Grenoble, France). It could also be yours, we are looking for PhD interns!
