Large Steps in Inverse Rendering of Geometry😱😱😱 [EPFL, SIGGRAPH Asia 2021] - twitter thread - project page - pdf Inverse reconstruction from images to meshes just made a huge step forward. No code yet. The examples in the paper are not close enough to possible input images in reality. But it still looks very cool.
We propose a simple and practical alternative that casts differentiable rendering into the framework of preconditioned gradient descent. Our preconditioner biases gradient steps towards smooth solutions without requiring the final solution to be smooth. In contrast to Jacobi-style iteration, each gradient step propagates information among all variables, enabling convergence using fewer and larger steps.
Our method is not restricted to meshes and can also accelerate the reconstruction of other representations, where smooth solutions are generally expected. We demonstrate its superior performance in the context of geometric optimization and texture reconstruction.

Why Telegram?
Telegram has no known backdoors and, even though it is come in for criticism for using proprietary encryption methods instead of open-source ones, those have yet to be compromised. While no messaging app can guarantee a 100% impermeable defense against determined attackers, Telegram is vulnerabilities are few and either theoretical or based on spoof files fooling users into actively enabling an attack.
