3D Reconstruction with Material Priors
Previous 3D reconstruction methods for indoor scenes from RGB images typically do not incorporate any prior knowledge about the materials present in the scene. Meanwhile, there are existing methods that can predict the material of a scene directly from its image. This thesis explores the impact of initializing the material using predictions from a generative model, rather than starting from scratch. Our hypothesis is that this prior knowledge can reduce the inherent ambiguity in the reconstruction problem and improve the overall reconstruction quality.

Segmentation on the Go for 3D Gaussian Splatting
Reconstruction and novel view synthesis with 3D Gaussian Splatting often suffers in the presence of occlusion and less sharp details in the foreground objects. This thesis will explore how segmentation and virtual cameras (generating new eg. deblurred training images) can improve results in complex scenes.
