Note: I still have some posts to go through to decide if I should feature them or not but the process is taking longer than expected so I’m going to take a short break for now. I planned to pin this post once I’m done but IMO there’s already enough posts on the list to pin this on sublemmy.

Note2: So not only I started working on the list 2 days late but I also won’t finish it the same day I started. Moderating is exhausting.

• Post - introduce Infinigen, a procedural generator of photorealistic 3D scenes of the natural world. Infinigen is entirely procedural: every asset, from shape to texture, is generated from scratch via randomized mathematical rules, using no external source and allowing infinite variation and composition. Infinigen offers broad coverage of objects and scenes in the natural world including plants, animals, terrains, and natural phenomena such as fire, cloud, rain, and snow. Infinigen can be used to generate unlimited, diverse training data for a wide range of computer vision tasks including object detection, semantic segmentation, optical flow, and 3D reconstruction. We expect Infinigen to be a useful resource for computer vision research and beyond. (paper from 15.06.2023)
