Zhizhuo (Z) Zhou
I am a MSR student at Carnegie Mellon University working with Shubham Tulsiani on computer vision—sparse view 3D reconstruction.
I am thankful to receive funding from NSF GRFP. I completed my undergrad at the University of Michigan, where I was fortunate to work with David Fouhey.

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.

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.
