Just touched down from the air back to solid ground😄 We're honored to receive the Best Paper Award this year, while I want to give a special shout-out to the authors of the brilliant paper Dust3R: Shuzhe Wang (@riverakid1), Vincent Leroy (@Vinc3nt_Leroy), Yohann Cabon, Boris Chidlovskii, and Jerome Revaud (@JeromeRevaud). It is Dust3R that first showcased the power of scaling up 3D learning (by aggregating academic datasets) and trusting data! This paved the way for our research🥰 On a personal note, I only met Shuzhe Wang (@riverakid1) two months ago, but it was immediately clear he's both insightful and genuinely awesome 😊 Any team would be incredibly lucky to hire him! Finally, huge thanks to all—old friends and new—for an amazing CVPR experience.
