For 10 points each, name some computational methods related to generating 3D images:
[10m] In self-driving cars, a 3D representation of the environment is built up using sensors, allowing the car to simultaneously map the environment and perform this task of estimating its own position in the map. This task is the L in SLAM.
ANSWER: localization [accept word forms, like localizing itself]
[10e] Filtered backprojection is used to reconstruct 3D images in this medical imaging technique. In this technique, an X-ray scans across the body to generate 2D slices, which are assembled into a 3D view of bones and internal organs.
ANSWER: X-ray computed tomography [accept X-ray CT scan or CAT scan]
[10h] This rendering method represents a scene using millions of blobs shaped like anisotropic 3D Gaussians, which overlap differently depending on the viewing angle. This method exploded in popularity in 2023 since it requires much less training than neural radiance fields.
ANSWER: Gaussian splatting
