Professor Atsuhiro Noguchi's research lab specializes in 3D vision and generative deep learning, focusing on unsupervised and self-supervised methods for learning 3D geometry, shape, and structure from 2D images without annotated data. The lab develops advanced generative models such as RGBD-GAN and Neural Articulated Radiance Field (NARF) to enable pose-controllable 3D generation, depth estimation, and 3D representation learning from multi-view observations. A key research direction involves transferring knowledge from large-scale pre-trained models to small, unseen domains, enhancing data efficiency and generalization. The lab also explores structure-aware generation of articulated objects, learning joint configurations and deformations from video sequences without human-annotated keypoint or skeleton data.

Thanks to the recent development of deep generative models, it is becoming possible to generate high-quality images with both fidelity and diversity. However, the training of such generative models requires a large dataset. To reduce the amount of data required, we propose a new method for transferring prior knowledge of the pre-trained generator, which is trained with a large dataset, to a small dataset in a different domain. Using such prior knowledge, the model can generate images leveraging
Rendering articulated objects while controlling their poses is critical to applications such as virtual reality or animation for movies. Manipulating the pose of an object, however, requires the understanding of its underlying structure, that is, its joints and how they interact with each other. Unfortunately, assuming the structure to be known, as existing methods do, precludes the ability to work on new object categories. We propose to learn both the appearance and the structure of previously

Understanding three-dimensional (3D) geometries from two-dimensional (2D) images without any labeled information is promising for understanding the real world without incurring annotation cost. We herein propose a novel generative model, RGBD-GAN, which achieves unsupervised 3D representation learning from 2D images. The proposed method enables camera parameter-conditional image generation and depth image generation without any 3D annotations, such as camera poses or depth. We use an explicit 3D
We present Neural Articulated Radiance Field (NARF), a novel deformable 3D representation for articulated objects learned from images. While recent advances in 3D implicit representation have made it possible to learn models of complex objects, learning pose-controllable representations of articulated objects remains a challenge, as current methods require 3D shape supervision and are unable to render appearance. In formulating an implicit representation of 3D articulated objects, our method con

We propose an unsupervised method for 3D geometry-aware representation learning of articulated objects, in which no image-pose pairs or foreground masks are used for training. Though photorealistic images of articulated objects can be rendered with explicit pose control through existing 3D neural representations, these methods require ground truth 3D pose and foreground masks for training, which are expensive to obtain. We obviate this need by learning the representations with GAN training. The
