Recent projects
DUNE @CVPR25
A single encoder distilled from multiple teachers: DINOv2, MASt3R and Multi-HMR, versatile enough to perform heterogeneous tasks. CVPR 2025
LUDVIG - Semantic 3DGS
Extends DINOv2, SAM and CLIP to 3D tasks by uplifting them in 3D with a simple learning-free rendering process. Collaboration with Thoth, Inria.
UNIC @ECCV24
A UNIC classification model that distills from strong pretrained models, and performs on par of better then each of them. ECCV 2024
PANDAS @CoLLAs24
Automatically discover novel classes from unlabeled images and add the discovered classes to extend an existing detector. CoLLAs 2024
Ret4Loc @ICLR24
Weatherproofing Retrieval for Localization: universal retrieval model enhanced with synthetic images during training. ICLR 2024
EPIC Fields @NeurIPS23
Extension of EPIC KITCHENS dataset with 3D information. Collaboration with VGG, Oxford and MaVi, Bristol. NeurIPS 2023
