July 2023 https://cvit.iiit.ac.in/workshops/3dvision/ The domain of 3D Vision deals with acquisition and analysis of 3-dimensional objects/scenes with wider applications in Animation, AR/VR platforms, Autonomous driving, Medical Imaging, etc. The primary representation for 3D objects are Point Cloud, Mesh and Voxels. These 3D objects/scenes are primarily captured either by depth sensors (e.g., RGBD sensors like Kinect and Laser sensors) or by processing images/videos taken from single/multiple RGB cameras. Algorithms for recovering 3D objects from multiple view images involves elaborate theoretical foundation from Multi-View Geometry developed in the last decade. Recently, deep learning methods have also reinvigorated interest in this domain with more efficient/scalable solutions for 3D reconstruction and analysis.

Sahil Chelaramani, 2nd year, MS by Research student and one of the researchers behind the Interactive Tour Guide project says that the intent behind digital heritage projects at IIIT-H was to digitize information typically found in archaic ASI records and make it accessible to the common man in a way that is user-friendly and engaging. He explains how work in the field of digitizing heritage information has been going on for a while at the centre. “Our paper, An Interactive Tour Guide For a Heritage Siteis a small part of ongoing work, but we’ve refined and taken it further. We’ve introduced the ability to customize the story telling”, says Sahil modestly. Aug 2018 https://faculty.iiit.ac.in/~vgandhi/Splitscreen/ One usually associates split screens with news channel panel discussions with multiple guests in the same frame. And that is typically done with an elaborate camera crew and their multiple cameras, a cameraperson focussing one camera each on a panel member. Similar is the case of stage performances like a dance recital or a play. Recordings of such dynamic events are typically captured with multiple cameras and cameramen to capture the scene from various viewpoints, or a single wide static high-resolution camera, which are then edited together to create a single video.
