Zhizhuo (Z) Zhou

I am a first year PhD student at Stanford University working on 3D generative AI. 

I was an MSR student at Carnegie Mellon University, where I am grateful to have worked with Shubham Tulsiani. I was also fortunate to work with David Fouhey during my undergrad at the University of Michigan. I am thankful to receive funding from NSF GRFP.

Research

I am interested in understanding and generating 3D scenes from casual videos, images, and text. 

SparseFusion: Distilling View-conditioned Diffusion for 3D Reconstruction

Zhizhuo Zhou, Shubham Tulsiani

CVPR 2023


We propose a 3D neural mode-seeking formulation that combines probabilistic generation of unseen regions with faithful reprojection of seen regions in a consistent 3D representation.

Quantifying Bird Skeletons

Zhizhuo Zhou, Gemmechu Hassena, Brian C. Weeks, David F. Fouhey

CV4Animals Workshop in conjunction with CVPR 2021


We can measure bird skeleton specimens extraordinarily accurately and quite fast with deep learning. This system can unlock datasets of birds at unprecedented scales.
