Excited to present our #CVPR2025 ✨Highlight Paper "Blurred LiDAR for Sharper 3D."
We introduce a method for 3D Gaussian surfel reconstruction that combines RGB images with diffuse (blurred) LiDARs. Surprisingly, we find that these blurred LiDARs, often used as simple proximity sensors, can improve reconstruction quality over conventional mobile LiDARs for robust handheld scanning in challenging scenes.

Following an excellent debut at ECCV 2024, we're excited to announce the 2nd Workshop on Neural Fields Beyond Conventional Cameras at this CVPR 2025 in Nashville, Tennessee!
Workshop site: neural-bcc.github.io
Call for papers is open from now until: April 11th
Congratulations to Professor @raskarmit, head of the Media Lab’s @cameraculture research group, on receiving the 2024 @The_RPS Award for Imaging Science! This award recognizes sustained excellence or a notable contribution to the advancement or application of imaging science. media.mit.edu/posts/ramesh-r…
Imagine millions of AI agents interacting, shaping our world. 🌍🤖 What if we could simulate entire societies to solve global challenges?
We're doing just that at @MIT. Introducing Large Population Models (lpm.media.mit.edu).
Here's how they work and why it matters...🧵
Congratulations to @cameraculture student Nikhil Behari on receiving the 2024 NASA Space Technology Graduate Research Opportunities (NSTGRO) Fellowship in support of his doctoral research proposal! media.mit.edu/posts/nikhil-b…
@violetto96 Try out for yourself at: github.com/AgentTorch/Age…
tl;dr: trick is think beyond traditional agents using our differentiable ABMs + LLM archetypes
bonus: even with high-variance individuals, you can reproduce census-statistics surprisingly well!

@djjr@carmguti@neogeomancer We already do that! GitHub.com/AgentTorch/Age….
Most recently, we helped the NZ govt track measles spread over their 5 million citizens and also helped design immunization programs for over 100 million people during Covid-19
Tl;Dr: think beyond agents (checkout our Archetypes)
AgentTorch (github.com/AgentTorch/Age…), built at @MIT, scales simulations to over 100 million agents (for ~$1000!)
Our models are helping immunize millions of people and track billions of dollars in supply chain, globally!
tl;dr: think beyond LLM agents (use our LLM Archetypes)
🚨 🚨 🚨 The Neural Fields Beyond Conventional Cameras workshop at #ECCV2024 is accepting papers and extended abstracts for poster and oral presentation!
We welcome papers submitted to @eccvconf, whether accepted or rejected.
Deadline: August 9, 2024
📢 Our ECCV '24 paper 📢 DecentNeRFs: Decentralized Neural Radiance Fields from @MIT@medialab and @Rice on scaling NeRFs to crowdsourced photos. Private+Decentralized: We protect the user's personal content while slashing server computation by 10,000x. zaidtas.github.io/decentnerfs 🧵
Congrats to Charles Lu and Siddharth Somasundaram, graduate students in the Media Lab’s Camera Culture research group, on being selected for the @NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program (NSF-GRFP)!
