<p>A team of researchers at USC Viterbi’s Thomas Lord Department of Computer Science has developed a new technique to copy virtual 3D objects and paste them into real indoor scenes. This creates an overall natural and realistic image in terms of spatial relationships, object orientations and lighting. The technique – called 3D Copy-Paste – can teach computers how to recognize the virtual 3D object in a multitude of different settings without having to rely on the tedious and expensive process of having a human feed the computer with reams of data. </p>
<p>The tool could have “profound” implications for both the computer graphics and computer vision fields, according to the researchers. Take, for example, autonomous driving technology. </p>
