Projects
Each project collects the posts written about it, in reading order.
My mom’s garden is getting bigger than she can comfortably manage and I live too far away to help week to week. This project is a robot that lives in her garden and that I can drive from my laptop hundreds of kilometres away: six wheels, a Jetson Nano, live video and a Rust stack for streaming and remote commands. It is not a gardener yet. It is a base that can become one.
Spacetime Gaussians (CVPR 2024) can render moving people from any viewpoint in real time, but only if you feed it footage from a calibrated research rig. I wanted to see what happens with 24 cameras and no calibration: a person, a ball, a room. This project is the pipeline that gets my own videos into the method: COLMAP for camera poses, a converter into the format the loader expects and a GPU box that took more setup than the training itself. The result moves and you can fly the camera round it. It is also blurry and I now know at least one reason why.
