【AI x Future｜AI趨勢論壇】AI-Powered 3D Live Tour Application for Real Estate Industry
The real estate industry has undergone significant transformations with the emergence of innovative technologies. AI-powered solutions have played a pivotal role in enhancing the property viewing experience. This talk explores the development of an AI-Powered 3D Live Tour Application tailored specifically for the real estate industry, with a particular focus on the technology of 3D layout reconstruction from panoramas. The application harnesses the power of artificial intelligence and computer vision algorithms to create immersive and interactive virtual tours of real estate properties. By leveraging panoramic images captured through specialized cameras or smartphones, the application employs advanced 3D layout reconstruction techniques to accurately recreate the physical spaces in a virtual environment. In this presentation, I will highlight three works that tackle the challenge of 3D indoor layout reconstruction from different input settings, including single-view panorama and multi-view panoramas. I will further introduce a transformer-based network in the multi-view setting, enabling simultaneous learning of pose registration and layout reconstruction. This novel approach showcases the potential for more comprehensive and accurate property layout reconstruction, benefiting both potential buyers and real estate professionals.

讓數據動起來！資料視覺化大師-馬匡六教授講座 ："Machine Learning Enhanced Data Visualization"
Visualization has become an essential tool in many areas of study using a data-driven approach to problem solving and decision making. However, it can be computationally expensive and also take both novices and experts substantial effort to derive desired visualization results from data for exploration, analysis, or storytelling. Amid active research in new visualization designs, there is a growing interest and opportunity in applying machine learning ML to perform data transformation and to assist in the generation of visualization, aiming to strike a balance between cost and quality/interactivity. In this talk, I will first give a brief overview of my visualization work, and then I will use three of our projects to show how we leverage ML for better supporting common data visualization and analytics tasks.

Image Alignment and Stitching
Image alignment and stitching have been widely applied in multimedia and computer
vision applications. The fundamental idea of image alignment and stitching is image
matching. By matching corresponding key points between two images, image
alignment can be achieved based on the transformation among key points. By aligning
two images, these two images can be stitched. To address this issue, I will introduce
invariant local descriptors for image matching.
