DensePose
A real-time approach for mapping all human pixels of 2D RGB images
DensePose is a computer vision system that maps all human pixels in an RGB image to the 3D surface of a human body model. It extends human pose estimation from predicting joint keypoints to providing dense correspondences between 2D images and a canonical 3D mesh (such as the SMPL model). This enables detailed understanding of human shape, motion, and surface appearance directly from images or videos. The repository includes the DensePose network architecture, training code, pretrained models, and dataset tools for annotation and visualization. DensePose is widely used in augmented reality, motion capture, virtual try-on, and visual effects applications because it enables real-time 3D human mapping from 2D inputs. The model architecture builds on Mask R-CNN, using additional regression heads to predict UV coordinates that map image pixels to 3D surfaces. -

SAM 2
The repository provides code for running inference with SAM 2
SAM2 is a next-generation version of the Segment Anything Model (SAM), designed to improve performance, generalization, and efficiency in promptable image segmentation tasks. It retains the core promptable interface—accepting points, boxes, or masks—but incorporates architectural and training enhancements to produce higher-fidelity masks, better boundary adherence, and robustness to complex scenes. The updated model is optimized for faster inference and lower memory use, enabling real-time interactivity even on larger images or constrained hardware. SAM2 comes with pretrained weights and easy-to-use APIs, enabling developers and researchers to integrate promptable segmentation into annotation tools, vision pipelines, or downstream tasks. The project also includes scripts and notebooks to compare SAM2 against SAM on edge cases, benchmarks showing improvements, and evaluation suites to measure mask quality metrics like IoU and boundary error. -

PIFuHD
High-Resolution 3D Human Digitization from A Single Image
PIFuHD (Pixel-Aligned Implicit Function for 3D human reconstruction at high resolution) is a method and codebase to reconstruct high-fidelity 3D human meshes from a single image. It extends prior PIFu work by increasing resolution and detail, enabling fine geometry in cloth folds, hair, and subtle surface features. The method operates by learning an implicit occupancy / surface function conditioned on the image and camera projection; at inference time it queries dense points to reconstruct a mesh via marching cubes. It also uses a two-stage architecture: a coarse global model followed by local refinement patches to capture fine detail, balancing global consistency and local detail. The repo includes training pipelines, dataset loaders (for Multi-POP, etc.), and inference scripts for mesh output including depth maps for postprocessing. To help practical use, there are utilities for normal estimation, texture back-projection, mesh cleanup, and integration with rendering pipelines. -

Segment Anything
Provides code for running inference with the SegmentAnything Model
Segment Anything (SAM) is a foundation model for image segmentation that’s designed to work “out of the box” on a wide variety of images without task-specific fine-tuning. It’s a promptable segmenter: you guide it with points, boxes, or rough masks, and it predicts high-quality object masks consistent with the prompt. The architecture separates a powerful image encoder from a lightweight mask decoder, so the heavy vision work can be computed once and the interactive part stays fast. A bundled automatic mask generator can sweep an image and propose many object masks, which is useful for dataset bootstrapping or bulk annotation. The repository includes ready-to-use weights, Python APIs, and example notebooks demonstrating both interactive and automatic modes. Because SAM was trained with an extremely large and diverse mask dataset, it tends to generalize well to new domains, making it a practical starting point for research and production annotation tools. -

OpenNN - Open Neural Networks Library
Machine learning algorithms for advanced analytics
OpenNN is a software library written in C++ for advanced analytics. It implements neural networks, the most successful machine learning method. Some typical applications of OpenNN are business intelligence (customer segmentation, churn prevention…), health care (early diagnosis, microarray analysis…) and engineering (performance optimization, predictive maitenance…). OpenNN does not deal with computer vision or natural language processing. The main advantage of OpenNN is its high performance. This library outstands in terms of execution speed and memory allocation. It is constantly optimized and parallelized in order to maximize its efficiency. The documentation is composed by tutorials and examples to offer a complete overview about the library. OpenNN is developed by Artelnics, a company specialized in artificial intelligence. -

BADGr
Toolbox for Box Approximation, Decomposition, and Grasping
BADGr, the BoxGrasping toolbox, is a package for Box Approximation, Decomposition, and Grasping. The toolbox was developed in the Computer Vision & Active Perception Lab, at the Royal Institute of Technology, as a participant of the EU research project PACO-PLUS, and published at the project's end in Summer 2010. BADGr provides modules to approximate the shape of a point cloud (possibly from sensor data) by box primitives. These box primitives then serve as a base for the generation of box-based pre-grasp hypotheses for robot grippers. -

CAM
Class Activation Mapping
This repository implements Class Activation Mapping (CAM), a technique to expose the implicit attention of convolutional neural networks by generating heatmaps that highlight the most discriminative image regions influencing a network’s class prediction. The method involves modifying a CNN model slightly (e.g., using global average pooling before the final layer) to produce a weighted combination of feature maps as the class activation map. Integration with existing CNNs (with light modifications). Sample scripts/examples using standard architectures. The repo provides example code and instructions for applying CAM to existing CNN architectures. Visualization of discriminative regions per class. -

CoTracker
CoTracker is a model for tracking any point (pixel) on a video
CoTracker is a learning-based point tracking system that jointly follows many user-specified points across a video, rather than tracking each point independently. By reasoning about all tracks together, it can maintain temporal consistency, handle mutual occlusions, and reduce identity swaps when trajectories cross. The model takes sparse point queries on one frame and predicts their sub-pixel locations and a visibility score for every subsequent frame, producing long, coherent trajectories. Its transformer-style architecture aggregates information both along time and across points, allowing it to recover tracks even after brief disappearances. The repository ships with inference scripts, pretrained weights, and simple interfaces to seed points, run tracking, and export trajectories for downstream tasks. Typical uses include correspondence building, motion analysis, dynamic SLAM priors, video editing masks, and evaluation of geometric consistency in real scenes. -
