TAPNet is the official Google DeepMind repository for Tracking Any Point (TAP), bundling datasets, models, benchmarks, and demos for precise point tracking in videos. The project includes the TAP-Vid and TAPVid-3D benchmarks, which evaluate long-range tracking of arbitrary points in 2D and 3D across diverse real and synthetic videos. Its flagship models—TAPIR, BootsTAPIR, and the latest TAPNext—use matching plus temporal refinement or next-token style propagation to achieve state-of-the-art accuracy and speed on TAP-Vid. ...

...The model learns to detect, segment, and reconstruct detailed 3D mesh representations of objects in natural images, bridging the gap between 2D perception and 3D understanding. Unlike voxel-based or point-based approaches, Mesh R-CNN uses a differentiable mesh representation, allowing it to efficiently refine surface geometry while maintaining high spatial detail. The system combines 2D detection from Mask R-CNN with 3D reasoning modules that output full mesh reconstructions aligned with the input image. It has been evaluated on datasets such as Pix3D, where it demonstrates state-of-the-art performance in reconstructing real-world object geometry.

...It reconstructs 3D geometry, dense depth, and camera poses directly from unordered or sequential images and videos. The system combines learned feature matching and geometric optimization to generate high-quality camera calibrations, sparse/dense point clouds, and depth maps in standard COLMAP format. Version 2.0 adds support for dynamic scene handling, dense point cloud export, video-based reconstruction (1000+ frames), and integration with Gaussian Splatting pipelines. It leverages tools like PyCOLMAP, poselib, LightGlue, and PyTorch3D for feature matching, pose estimation, and visualization. ...

Generative AI for Beginners is a 21-lesson course by Microsoft Cloud Advocates that teaches the fundamentals of building generative AI applications in a practical, project-oriented way. Lessons are split into “Learn” modules for core concepts and “Build” modules with hands-on code in Python and TypeScript, so you can jump in at any point that matches your goals. The course covers everything from model selection, prompt engineering, and chat/text/image app patterns to secure development practices and UX for AI. It also walks through modern application techniques such as function calling, RAG with vector databases, working with open source models, agents, fine-tuning, and using SLMs. ...

...By offering structured experiments across multiple datasets, it allows researchers to study and replicate the improvements described in the paper. Although the project is archived and not actively maintained, it remains a reference point in the history of GAN research, influencing subsequent model training approaches.
