Week 13: From Testing to Finalization: Wrapping Up Our 3D Pipeline
This week marked an important testing phase for our project as we moved beyond demonstration and focused on evaluating the pipeline on real-life objects. We tested the system on a variety of objects with different shapes, textures, and surface properties… Read More
Week 5: Polishing for the QRB
With the Quarterly Review Board (QRB) presentation coming up, the team is fully focused on polishing our 3D modeling pipeline and ensuring our demo is ready for the judges. Boosting Model Quality We made a key decision to utilize… Read More
Week 4: A “Goosebumps” Moment for the VOXEL Team!
This week was a major turning point for the IPPD VOXEL team. During our update meeting, we revealed our latest 3D reconstruction results using the “Ignatius” model, and the reaction was incredible. The rendering quality has improved so drastically that… Read More
WEEK 3: Project Review and Technical Exploration
This week focused on reviewing our progress during the first project milestone through QRB1, which provided an opportunity to validate our direction and overall approach. The presentation was well received and clearly communicated our objectives, progress, and planned next steps,… Read More
WEEK 2: Project Planning and Technical Alignment
This week, our team revisited the mesh generation stage of the project and discussed the challenges involved in converting 3D reconstructions into usable assets. Based on these discussions, we explored how different components of the pipeline, such as segmentation and… Read More
Week 1: Back Together Again: Launching a New IPPD Semester
Week 1 of IPPD 2 felt a bit like reopening a familiar book after a long break. As we gathered in the room again, there was that mix of catching up as friends and reconnecting as teammates. We talked about… Read More
Week 14: Final System Level Design Review Reflection
This week felt like the “finale chapter” of our VOXEL O2A journey, centered around our final System-Level Design Review (SLDR). The afternoon began with a networking session from 1–3 PM, where a liaison sat at our table and spoke candidly… Read More
Week 13: System Level Design Review (PR SLDR) Feedback and Reflection
This week was all about our PR System-Level Design Review (SLDR) for the VOXEL O2A pipeline. We presented alongside four other IPPD teams, our coaches, and the TA, so it felt more like a mini conference than a regular class… Read More
Week 9: How Manual Input Strategies Impact 3D Object Segmentation Performance
In this study, we explored how different manual input strategies influence the performance of modern object segmentation models on a diverse 3D dataset of everyday household items. The focus was on understanding how varying levels of human guidance ranging from… Read More
Week 8: From PDR Success to Segmentation Breakthroughs
This has been an incredibly productive and rewarding week for Team Voxel! A major highlight was the successful completion of our Preliminary Design Review (PDR) presentation to the AGIS AI Team. We’re thrilled to report that the presentation went smoothly,… Read More
Week 7 Peer Review & Technical Progress
This week, our team participated in the Peer Design Review (PDR) session, where we presented our complete O2A pipeline to other IPPD teams. The feedback was very positive, many appreciated the technical depth of our project and the end-to-end structure… Read More
WEEK 6 – First Segmentation Trials and COLMAP Implementation
This week, Team VOXEL advanced two core parts of the O2A pipeline. On segmentation, the team tested zero-shot approaches (MobileSAM and SAM2) on single-object sequences. Early findings showed that presenting multiple candidate masks and letting the user confirm with a… Read More
WEEK5 – Finalizing Our Pipeline
This week marked an important milestone for Team VOXEL as we moved from planning into structured execution of the O2A (Object to Asset) project. Our biggest accomplishment was finalizing the pipeline structure that will drive our mobile-to-3D asset creation framework.… Read More
