MetaSeg will be presented at MICCAI 2025 as an oral (top 10% of accepted papers) in September. We offer a completely new way to perform medical image segmentation using INRs with 90% fewer parameters than standard models.
We released FastAvatar, a framework that can generate a 3D Gaussian Splatting model for a face in real-time from just one image taken at any arbitrary pose! In collaboration with Samsung Research America.
We released ALPINE, a PyTorch library for fast prototyping and development of implicit neural representations (INRs), particularly for scientific applications.
