Early morning East Lake is shrouded in ink-wash hues.A few wanderers stroll softly,stone bridges lie serene, gentle ripples caress the banks. Pavilions blend seamlessly with rolling hills,golden light shimmers softly,letting time flow gracefully in this exquisite Jiangnan garden.

Reconstruct a moving, deforming object in 4D (3D + time) from a single-camera video — even under heavy occlusion and large non-rigid motion 🎥 Title: Lift4D: Harmonizing Single-View 3D Estimation for 4D Reconstruction In-the-Wild URL: 🎥 Overview A test-time optimization framework combining single-view 3D prediction with deformable 3D Gaussian Splatting. It fuses learned geometry/appearance priors with the video to handle severe occlusion and non-rigid motion. ❓ Problem it solves ・Directly predicting 4D is limited by scarce training data and generalizes poorly ・Initializing 3D and refining with video alone breaks down on in-the-wild scenes with large deformation and occlusion 💡 Methodology Three components: ・Causal Latent Conditioning: aligns an image-to-3D model temporally without retraining, coupling adjacent latents at the ODE level, with t₀ trading off consistency vs per-frame fidelity ・Deformable Gaussians: sparse control nodes with time-varying SE(3) transforms + linear blend skinning deform a canonical representation across frames ・Occlusion-aware refinement: compares only visible pixels, while a view-conditioned diffusion prior completes unobserved surfaces 📊 Results ・Compared against STAG4D, PAD3R, L4GM, DreamMesh4D, V2M4, BANMo ・On Pexels data, point-tracking error EPE 0.072 (vs 0.119–0.211 for competitors) ・~30 min per 32-frame video on a single H200 GPU #3DReconstruction# #GaussianSplatting#

Researchers engineered specialized yeast to transform discarded plastic into consumable cookies. A group based at Southern Illinois University Carbondale is addressing plastic pollution alongside food shortages through an unusual approach. Employing oxidative hydrothermal dissolution, the scientists apply heat to decompose used plastic bottles together with sweetcorn plant residues into forms that microbes can process. The resulting material is supplied to CRISPR-modified yeast strains that convert it into proteins, lipids, and a vanilla-like sweetness. After additional ingredients are incorporated, the blend is shaped via 3D printing into cookies known as µBites, redefining the idea of sustainable cuisine. Although the scientists are still seeking official clearance to sample the products themselves, the idea has generated both interest and doubt. Observers such as Jason Hallett of Imperial College London contend that producing food from plastic lacks commercial viability and cannot meaningfully address worldwide plastic accumulation, especially amid concerns regarding microplastics and genetic modification. The inventors counter that regardless of whether plastic-based cookies become commonplace, the work represents an essential advance toward reshaping societal responses to plastic refuse.
