SceneDINO: How AI Learns to See and Understand Images in 3D–Without Human Labels
MCML Research Insight - With Christoph Reich, Felix Wimbauer, and Daniel Cremers
Imagine looking at a single image and trying to understand the entire 3D scenery–not just what’s visible, but also what’s occluded. Humans do this effortlessly: when we see a photo of a tree, we intuitively grasp its 3D structure and semantic meaning. We learn this ability through interaction and movement in the 3D world, without explicit …
