Understanding 3-D Scene Based on a Single Photo

Caption

Computer vision systems can struggle to make sense of a single image, but a new method devised by computer scientists at Carnegie Mellon University enables computers to gain a deeper understanding of an image by reasoning about the physical constraints of the scene. Here, the computer uses virtual blocks to build a three-dimensional approximation of the image at left that makes sense based on volume and mass.
