MESHROOM
3D reconstruction software
Photogrammetry is the science of making measurements from photographs. It infers the geometry of a scene from a set of unordered photographies or videos. Photography is the projection of a 3D scene onto a 2D plane, losing depth information. The goal of photogrammetry is to reverse this process. The dense modeling of the scene is the result yielded by chaining two computer vision-based pipelines, “Structure-from-Motion” (SfM) and “Multi View Stereo” (MVS). Fusion of Multi-bracketing LDR images into HDR. Alignment of panorama images. Support for fisheye optics. Automatically estimate fisheye circle or manually edit it. Take advantage of motorized-head file. Easy to integrate in your Renderfarm System. Add specific rules to select the most suitable machines regarding CPU, RAM, GPU requirements of each Node. -

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. -

Machine Learning PyTorch Scikit-Learn
Code Repository for Machine Learning with PyTorch and Scikit-Learn
Initially, this project started as the 4th edition of Python Machine Learning. However, after putting so much passion and hard work into the changes and new topics, we thought it deserved a new title. So, what’s new? There are many contents and additions, including the switch from TensorFlow to PyTorch, new chapters on graph neural networks and transformers, a new section on gradient boosting, and many more that I will detail in a separate blog post. For those who are interested in knowing what this book covers in general, I’d describe it as a comprehensive resource on the fundamental concepts of machine learning and deep learning. The first half of the book introduces readers to machine learning using scikit-learn, the defacto approach for working with tabular datasets. Then, the second half of this book focuses on deep learning, including applications to natural language processing and computer vision. -

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. -

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. -

Vision Transformer Pytorch
Implementation of Vision Transformer, a simple way to achieve SOTA
This repository provides a from-scratch, minimalist implementation of the Vision Transformer (ViT) in PyTorch, focusing on the core architectural pieces needed for image classification. It breaks down the model into patch embedding, positional encoding, multi-head self-attention, feed-forward blocks, and a classification head so you can understand each component in isolation. The code is intentionally compact and modular, which makes it easy to tinker with hyperparameters, depth, width, and attention dimensions. Because it stays close to vanilla PyTorch, you can integrate custom datasets and training loops without framework lock-in. It’s widely used as an educational reference for people learning transformers in vision and as a lightweight baseline for research prototypes. The project encourages experimentation—swap optimizers, change augmentations, or plug the transformer backbone into downstream tasks. -

Colossal-AI
Making large AI models cheaper, faster and more accessible
The Transformer architecture has improved the performance of deep learning models in domains such as Computer Vision and Natural Language Processing. Together with better performance come larger model sizes. This imposes challenges to the memory wall of the current accelerator hardware such as GPU. It is never ideal to train large models such as Vision Transformer, BERT, and GPT on a single GPU or a single machine. There is an urgent demand to train models in a distributed environment. However, distributed training, especially model parallelism, often requires domain expertise in computer systems and architecture. It remains a challenge for AI researchers to implement complex distributed training solutions for their models. Colossal-AI provides a collection of parallel components for you. We aim to support you to write your distributed deep learning models just like how you write your model on your laptop. -
