Karhan Kayan will present his General Exam " Infinigen Indoors: Photorealistic Indoor Scenes using Procedural Generation " on Tuesday, May 7, 2024 at 3:30 PM in CS 301 . Committee Members: Jia Deng (advisor), Szymon Rusinkiewicz , Adam Finkelstein Abstract: We introduce Infinigen Indoors, a Blender-based procedural generator of photorealistic indoor scenes. It builds upon the existing Infinigen system, which focuses on natural scenes, but expands its coverage to indoor scenes by introducing a diverse library of procedural indoor assets, including furniture, architecture elements, appliances, and other day-to-day objects. It also introduces a constraint-based arrangement system, which consists of a domain-specific language for expressing diverse constraints on scene composition, and a solver that generates scene compositions that maximally satisfy the constraints. We provide an export tool that allows the generated 3D objects and scenes to be directly used for training embodied agents in real-time simulators such as Omniverse and Unreal. Infinigen Indoors will be open-sourced under the BSD license. Reading List: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MVaGLJx5293qyQZJN1PQLa1QJBHnfBV6TzzTBYJG... Everyone is invited to attend the talk, and those faculty wishing to remain for the oral exam following are welcome to do so.
