Splatter image: ultra-fast single-view 3D reconstruction by Szymanowicz, S, Rupprecht, C, Vedaldi, A

“…Owning to the speed of the renderer (588 FPS), we use a single GPU for training while generating entire images at each iteration to optimize perceptual metrics like LPIPS. On several synthetic, real, multi-category and large-scale benchmark datasets, we achieve better results in terms of PSNR, LPIPS, and other metrics while training and evaluating much faster than prior works. …”

Discovering objects and their location in images by Sivic, J, Russell, BC, Efros, AA, Zisserman, A, Freeman, WT

“…The model is applied to images by using a visual analogue of a word, formed by vector quantizing SIFT-like region descriptors. The topic discovery approach successfully translates to the visual domain: for a small set of objects, we show that both the object categories and their approximate spatial layout are found without supervision. …”
