3D city reconstruction

Closed weights University of Washington,Microsoft Research,Cornell University September 2009

No estimate

No hardware requirements for this model

The weights for this model have not been published, so it cannot be downloaded or run on your own hardware at any size. It is reachable only through its provider, and no graphics card changes that.

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.

What the numbers mean

Where it came from

3D city reconstruction was published by University of Washington,Microsoft Research,Cornell University, in United States of America, in September 2009. It comes out of academia,Industry,Academia.

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

Its weights were never published, so it can only be reached through its provider. No graphics card changes that.

Answers

3D city reconstruction — common questions

01

Is 3D city reconstruction open source?

The licensing for 3D city reconstruction was never recorded in our source data. We treat unstated licensing as closed, because an unrecorded licence is not one to rely on.

02

How many parameters does 3D city reconstruction have?

No parameter count has been published for 3D city reconstruction, which is why no memory or speed figure appears on this page.

03

Who created 3D city reconstruction?

3D city reconstruction was published by University of Washington,Microsoft Research,Cornell University, based in United States of America, categorised as academia,Industry,Academia.

04

When was 3D city reconstruction released?

3D city reconstruction was published in September 2009. Capability per parameter has improved considerably since, so a newer model of the same size is often the better use of the same hardware.

05

What is 3D city reconstruction used for?

3D city reconstruction works in 3D modeling, and is recorded as handling 3D reconstruction. These are the areas it was designed around; they describe intent rather than a hard boundary.

06

What GPU do I need to run 3D city reconstruction?

None. 3D city reconstruction is a closed model — its weights were never published, so it cannot be downloaded or run on your own hardware at any price. It is reachable only through its provider.

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.
