    Zurich, Switzerland

    Gaussian Splatting with Geometric Constraints
    Master Thesis, Supervised by Kunyi Li, Shaohui Liu, Tobias Fischer, Michael Niemeyer, Federico Tombari, Marc Pollefeys
    • Developed a novel pose-free Gaussian Splatting approach within the Global Structure-from-Motion framework for sparse view, unposed, unordered images

    Exploiting Uncertainty for Building Enhanced 3D Maps
    Semester Thesis, Supervised by Shaohui Liu, Marc Pollefeys
    • Propagated the uncertainty for point and line mapping through analytical method to filter the degeneracy, identify unstable tracks, and help incorporate heterogeneous assumptions on the 2D observation noise. Developed an uncertainty-aware mechanism in hybrid point-line Structure-from-Motion and demonstrated the effectiveness
