Today the world of Egyptology faces a silent crisis—not of looting, although that plays a part, but of disconnection. Walk into any major museum, from Copenhagen to California, and you see glass cases ...

Abstract: 2D image-based 3D shape retrieval (2D-to-3D) aims at searching the corresponding 3D shapes (unlabeled) when given a 2D image (labeled), which is a fundamental task in computer vision and has ...

Cobra is giving golfers more opportunities to fit into their groundbreaking 3D-printed irons. Joining the 3DP Tour irons, which are the first commercially available 3D-printed irons in the game, Cobra ...

Restoration on the 4,400-year-old Pyramid of Sahura led researchers to create a more comprehensive blueprint of the structure. Using LiDAR imaging, the team confirmed the presence of previously ...

Researchers at Science Tokyo have developed a neural inverse rendering method that accurately reconstructs the three-dimensional (3D) shapes of moving objects using only three standard projection ...

A few years ago, AI-generated 3D modeling belonged to research labs and Hollywood studios. Today, it’s seeping into classrooms, social media memes, and mainstream creative tools — and it’s doing so ...

After more than three centuries, a geometry problem that originated with a royal bet has been solved. Imagine you’re holding two equal-size dice. Is it possible to bore a tunnel through one die that’s ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. In 360 BC, Plato envisioned the cosmos as an arrangement of five geometric shapes: flat-sided solids called polyhedra. These immediately ...

As one of the world's most powerful fighter aircraft currently in service, the F-22 Raptor is a marvel of technological achievement. Made from some of the most advanced and durable metals and material ...

Drawing 3D shapes is a useful skill for students, artists, architects, and anyone interested in visualizing objects more realistically. Unlike flat drawings, 3D shapes show depth, height, and width, ...

Shape primitive abstraction, which breaks down complex 3D forms into simple, interpretable geometric units, is fundamental to human visual perception and has important implications for computer vision ...
