Akhmedkhan (Ahan) Shabanov

Hi! I am a PhD student at the GrUVi lab of SFU advised by Andrea Tagliasacchi in a beautiful Vancouver. I work on 3D computer vision.

Previously, I was a research engineer (founding team member) at Avaturn (ex. In3D) working with Dmitry Ulyanov on 3D human body and face reconstruction from in-the-wild images. Even before that, I received my BSc and MSc degrees from Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology in applied mathematics and physics.

Publications

BANF: Band-limited Neural Fields for Levels of Detail Reconstruction

Ahan Shabanov, Shrisudhan Govindarajan, Cody Reading, Lily Goli, Daniel Rebain, Kwang Moo Yi, Andrea Tagliasacchi

CVPR 2024

We explore how a simple modification to neural fields enables low-pass filtering, facilitating improved frequency decomposition which is crucial for level-of-detail reconstruction.

Lagrangian Hashing for Compressed Neural Field Representations

Shrisudhan Govindarajan, Zeno Sambugaro, Ahan Shabanov, Towaki Takikawa, Weiwei Sun, Daniel Rebain, Nicola Conci, Kwang Moo Yi, Andrea Tagliasacchi

ECCV 2024

A representation for neural fields combining the characteristics of Eulerian grids (i.e.~InstantNGP), with those that employ points equipped with features as a way to represent information (e.g. 3D Gaussian Splatting or PointNeRF).

Unsupervised temporal consistency improvement for microscopy video segmentation with Siamese networks

Ahan Shabanov, Daja Schichler, Constantin Pape, Sara Cuylen-Haering, Anna Kreshuk

BioRxiv, 2021

We enhance video segmentation by re-training a CNN in a Siamese setup, optimizing both accuracy on labeled images and consistency across unlabeled frames.

In-the-wild 3D head reconstruction

US Patent; 2022

A production-oriented system for reconstructing detailed 3D head geometry and hair from unconstrained multi-view images, designed to stay robust under real-world capture conditions.
