Chao Xu

I am a UCLA Ph.D. candidate, currently a visiting graduate at UC San Diego, fortunate to be advised by Prof. Hao Su. Previously, I received dual bachelor degrees in Computer Engineering from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and Zhejiang University.

My research interests are focused on the fields of computer vision, robotics, and cognition. I actively engaged in pushing the boundaries of generalizable 3D vision: 1) object understanding, 2) 3D reconstruction and generation, etc.

One-2-3-45++: Fast Single Image to 3D Objects with Consistent Multi-View Generation and 3D Diffusion
Minghua Liu*, Ruoxi Shi*, Linghao Chen*, Zhuoyang Zhang*, Chao Xu*, Xinyue Wei, Hansheng Chen, Chong Zeng, Jiayuan Gu, Hao Su
CVPR 2024
Paper / Project / Code Star / Demo

We propose a new pipeline in the One-2-3-45's paradigm: More consistent multi-view generation (Zero123++) and better reconstruction (multi-view conditioned 3D native diffusion models).

We improve consistency and image conditioning in single-image multi-view generation.

One-2-3-45: Any Single Image to 3D Mesh in 45 Seconds without Per-Shape Optimization
Minghua Liu*, Chao Xu*, Haian Jin*, Linghao Chen*, Mukund V. T, Zexiang Xu, Hao Su
NeurIPS 2023
Paper / Project / Code Star Hugging Face Spaces

We rethink how to leverage 2D diffusion models for 3D AIGC and introduce a novel forward-only paradigm that avoids the time-consuming optimization.
