In the realm of 3D scene reconstruction, NeRFs are the go-to choice for their stunning photorealism. However, 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) is giving NeRFs a run for their money by offering a similar level of quality at lightning-fast rendering speeds. While both methods shine in controlled environments, handling in-the-wild data with occlusions and dynamic elements […]
Guillaume Lethière, a celebrated artist during France’s tumultuous history, had a remarkable life of navigating power shifts and his mixed-race background. Born into slavery in Guadeloupe, he rose to prominence under Napoleon’s reign, supporting abolition and painting influential figures. Lethière’s neoclassical style eventually fell out of favor, leading him to focus on the Caribbean, creating […]
