Photo-Geometric Autoencoder

Open weights University of Oxford November 2019

No estimate

No hardware requirements for this model

This model's weights are open, but no parameter count has been published for it. Every memory and speed figure starts from that number, so we would rather show nothing than a fabricated estimate.

On record

Full specification

Everything on record for this model. Most of it describes how it was trained rather than how it runs — useful context for judging how much work went into it, and how it compares with models built at a different scale.

How it is classified

Labels the source dataset applies when tracking notable models, and how confident it is in the entry.

Why it is tracked
SOTA improvement

"Our model outperforms a current state-of-the-art 3D reconstruction method that uses 2D keypoint supervision" They don't claim absolute SOTA, only SOTA among unsupervised methods

What the numbers mean

About this model

Photo-Geometric Autoencoder was published by University of Oxford, in United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, in November 2019. academia is the category the publisher falls under.

It works in 3D modeling, Vision, and is recorded as doing 3D reconstruction.

The weights being open is what puts this page in the calculator rather than only in the catalogue: it is a model you can actually hold.

What went into building it

Around 819,200,000 tokens went into training it.

It is tracked in the underlying dataset for one reason in particular: sOTA improvement.

Answers

Photo-Geometric Autoencoder — common questions

01

How many parameters does Photo-Geometric Autoencoder have?

No parameter count has been published for Photo-Geometric Autoencoder, which is why no memory or speed figure appears on this page.

02

Who created Photo-Geometric Autoencoder?

Photo-Geometric Autoencoder was published by University of Oxford, based in United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, categorised as academia.

03

When was Photo-Geometric Autoencoder released?

Photo-Geometric Autoencoder was published in November 2019. Capability per parameter has improved considerably since, so a newer model of the same size is often the better use of the same hardware.

04

What is Photo-Geometric Autoencoder used for?

Photo-Geometric Autoencoder works in 3D modeling, Vision, and is recorded as handling 3D reconstruction. Models frequently carry more than one of each, and the tags describe purpose rather than capability limits.

05

Where can I download Photo-Geometric Autoencoder?

The weights for Photo-Geometric Autoencoder are published, though we do not hold a repository link for it. This site calculates hardware requirements rather than hosting model files.

06

What GPU do I need to run Photo-Geometric Autoencoder?

We cannot say. Photo-Geometric Autoencoder has open weights, but no parameter count has been published for it, and every memory and speed calculation starts from that number. We would rather show nothing than a fabricated estimate.

07

Is Photo-Geometric Autoencoder open source?

Its weights are published, so Photo-Geometric Autoencoder can be downloaded and run on your own hardware. Note that open weights is not the same as open source in the full sense — it says nothing about the training data, the training code, or the commercial terms attached.

The other direction

Looking at it from the other side?

This page starts from the model. If you already own a card and want to know everything it will run, start from the hardware instead.
