Nvidia has filed a patent for a neural network that can take a batch of ordinary photos and reconstruct the full 3D geometry of the scene they show, without needing GPS data, camera calibration files, or a slow back-and-forth matching process.How Nvidia's Photo-To-3D Reconstruction Actually WorksImagine you take twenty photos of a building from different angles and hand them to a computer. Normally, figuring out the 3D shape of that building from those flat pictures is slow and fiddly: the software has to compare every pair of images, figure...
