	CityRAG: Stepping Into a City via Spatially-Grounded Video Generation Gene Chou, Charles Herrmann, Kyle Genova, Boyang Deng, Songyou Peng, Bharath Hariharan, Jason Y. Zhang, Noah Snavely, Philipp Henzler preprint paper / project page CityRAG retrieves Street View images as context to generate videos of cities featuring real buildings and roads, with arbitrary weather, people, and cars.
	FlashDepth: Real-time Streaming Video Depth Estimation at 2K Resolution Gene Chou, Wenqi Xian, Guandao Yang, Mohamed Abdelfattah, Bharath Hariharan, Noah Snavely, Ning Yu, Paul Debevec ICCV 2025 (Highlight) paper / code / project page We present FlashDepth, a video depth estimation model that processes high-resolution streaming videos in real-time (2044×1148 at 24 FPS on an A100 GPU).
	KFC-W: Generating 3D-Consistent Videos from Unposed Internet Photos Gene Chou, Kai Zhang, Sai Bi, Hao Tan, Zexiang Xu, Fujun Luan, Bharath Hariharan, Noah Snavely CVPR 2025 paper / project page We propose the task of generating videos from sparse, unposed internet photos, and design a self-supervised method that takes advantage of the consistency of videos and variability of multiview internet photos to train a 3D-aware video model without any 3D annotations such as camera parameters.
	MegaScenes: Scene-Level View Synthesis at Scale Joseph Tung*, Gene Chou*, Ruojin Cai, Guandao Yang, Kai Zhang, Gordon Wetzstein, Bharath Hariharan, Noah Snavely ECCV 2024 paper / code / project page MegaScenes is a scene-level dataset containing 100K SfM reconstructions and 2M registered images, collected from Wikimedia Commons. We validate its effectiveness in training large-scale, generalizable models on the task of single image novel view synthesis.
	Generalist YOLO: Towards Real-Time End-to-End Multi-Task Visual Language Models Hung-Shuo Chang, Chien-Yao Wang, Richard Wang, Gene Chou, Hong-Yuan Mark Liao WACV 2025 paper / code Builds on YOLOR to jointly train vision (e.g. object detection, instance and semantic segmentation) and vision-language (e.g. image captioning) tasks. Fast and lightweight while achieving competitive performance.
	Thin On-Sensor Nanophotonic Array Cameras Praneeth Chakravarthula, Jipeng Sun, Xiao Li, Chenyang Lei, Gene Chou, Mario Bijelic, Johannes Froesch, Arka Majumdar, Felix Heide SIGGRAPH ASIA 2023 paper / project page Recovers images in broadband using a single flat metasurface optic. Compensates for residual aberrations with probabilistic deconvolution implemented using a conditional diffusion model.
	Diffusion-SDF: Conditional Generative Modeling of Signed Distance Functions Gene Chou, Yuval Bahat, Felix Heide ICCV 2023 paper / code / project page Performs diffusion on the latent space of neural SDFs while providing geometric guidance. Generates diverse meshes conditioned on partial point clouds, 2D images, and real-scanned, noisy point clouds.
	GenSDF: Two-Stage Learning of Generalizable Signed Distance Functions Gene Chou, Ilya Chugunov, Felix Heide NeurIPS 2022 paper / code / project page Combines a semi-supervised approach with a self-supervised loss to reconstruct neural SDFs from raw input point clouds of over a hundred unseen object classes.
