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. -

Diffgram
Training data (data labeling, annotation, workflow) for all data types
From ingesting data to exploring it, annotating it, and managing workflows. Diffgram is a single application that will improve your data labeling and bring all aspects of training data under a single roof. Diffgram is world’s first truly open source training data platform that focuses on giving its users an unlimited experience. This is aimed to reduce your data labeling bills and increase your Training Data Quality. Training Data is the art of supervising machines through data. This includes the activities of annotation, which produces structured data; ready to be consumed by a machine learning model. Annotation is required because raw media is considered to be unstructured and not usable without it. That’s why training data is required for many modern machine learning use cases including computer vision, natural language processing and speech recognition. -

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. -

fastai
Deep learning library
fastai is a deep learning library which provides practitioners with high-level components that can quickly and easily provide state-of-the-art results in standard deep learning domains, and provides researchers with low-level components that can be mixed and matched to build new approaches. It aims to do both things without substantial compromises in ease of use, flexibility, or performance. This is possible thanks to a carefully layered architecture, which expresses common underlying patterns of many deep learning and data processing techniques in terms of decoupled abstractions. These abstractions can be expressed concisely and clearly by leveraging the dynamism of the underlying Python language and the flexibility of the PyTorch library. fastai is organized around two main design goals: to be approachable and rapidly productive, while also being deeply hackable and configurable. It is built on top of a hierarchy of lower-level APIs which provide composable building blocks. -

OpenCE
Contrast Enhancement Techniques for low-light images
OpenCE is an open source implementation of the paper Cascaded Pyramid Network for Multi-Person Pose Estimation (CVPR 2018) by Yilun Chen, Zhicheng Wang, Yuxiang Peng, Zhiqiang Zhang, Gang Yu, and Jian Sun. The framework provides a complete training and evaluation pipeline for human pose estimation using a cascaded pyramid network (CPN). OpenCE leverages a feature pyramid structure combined with a refinement stage to improve keypoint detection accuracy across multiple scales, particularly for challenging poses in crowded scenes. The repository includes training scripts, pretrained models, and testing code, allowing users to reproduce results reported in the paper. It supports standard human pose estimation benchmarks such as COCO, with configurations optimized for accuracy and efficiency. As an open resource, OpenCE offers researchers and practitioners a strong baseline for pose estimation and a foundation for extending CPN-based methods. -

VGGT
[CVPR 2025 Best Paper Award] VGGT
VGGT is a transformer-based framework aimed at unifying classic visual geometry tasks—such as depth estimation, camera pose recovery, point tracking, and correspondence—under a single model. Rather than training separate networks per task, it shares an encoder and leverages geometric heads/decoders to infer structure and motion from images or short clips. The design emphasizes consistent geometric reasoning: outputs from one head (e.g., correspondences or tracks) reinforce others (e.g., pose or depth), making the system more robust to challenging viewpoints and textures. The repo provides inference pipelines to estimate geometry from monocular inputs, stereo pairs, or brief sequences, together with evaluation harnesses for common geometry benchmarks. Training utilities highlight data curation and augmentations that preserve geometric cues while improving generalization across scenes and cameras. -
23
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. -

Netvlad
NetVLAD: CNN architecture for weakly supervised place recognition
NetVLAD is a deep learning-based image descriptor framework developed by Relja Arandjelović for place recognition and image retrieval.

This implementation includes training code and pretrained models using the Pittsburgh and Tokyo datasets. -

qiji-font
Typeface from Ming Dynasty woodblock printed books
Typeface from Ming Dynasty woodblock printed books. A Ming typeface. Extracted from Ming Dynasty woodblock printed books (凌閔刻本). Using semi-automatic computer vision and OCR. Open-source. A work in progress. Named in honor of 閔齊伋, a 16th-century printer. Intended to be used with Kenyan-lang, the Classical Chinese programming language. Download high-resolution PDFs and split pages into images. Manually lay a grid on top of each page to generate bounding boxes for characters (potentially replaceable by an automatic corner-detection algorithm). Generate a low-poly mask for each character on the grid, and save the thumbnails (using OpenCV). First, red channel is subtracted from the grayscale, in order to clean the annotations printed in red ink. Next, the image is thresholded and fed into the contour-tracing algorithm. A metric is then used to discard shapes that are unlikely to be part of the character in interest.
