Jaeyoung Chung

I am a Ph.D student in the Computer Vision Lab at Seoul National University (SNU), advised by Kyoung Mu Lee. My research focuses on 3D vision, particularly 3D reconstruction and generation. I have served as a reviewer/program committee for CVPR, ECCV, ICCV, NeurIPS, AAAI, and TPAMI. I interned at the Intelligent Multimedia Group within Microsoft Research Asia during the winter of 2021.

During my undergraduate studies, I majored in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the same university and participated in various projects, such as developing embedded systems on robots and sounding rockets (detailed in the Team Project and Mini Project section). In my master course, I focused on research in visual-inertial odometry, leveraging inertial measurement units (IMUs).

OmniSplat: Taming Feed-Forward 3D Gaussian Splatting for Omnidirectional Images with Editable Capabilities
Suyoung Lee*, Jaeyoung Chung*, Kihoon Kim, Jaeyoo Huh, Gunhee Lee, Minsoo Lee, Kyoung Mu Lee

CVPR 2025 Highlight Paper
Project page / Paper / ArXiv / Code

We propose a method to construct a holistic 3D Gaussian splatting scene using a feed-forward network by structure-driven bridging of perspective-trained model to 360-degree image via the Yin-Yang grid.

ODGS: 3D Scene Reconstruction from Omnidirectional Images with 3D Gaussian Splattings
Suyoung Lee*, Jaeyoung Chung*, Jaeyoo Huh, Kyoung Mu Lee
Conference and Workshop on Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS), 2024
Project page / Paper / ArXiv / Code

We introduce a method to optimize Gaussian splatting with 360 panorama images, considering omnidirectional camera model.

LucidDreamer: Domain-free Generation of 3D Gaussian Splatting Scenes
Jaeyoung Chung*, Suyoung Lee*, Hyeongjin Nam, Jaerin Lee, Kyoung Mu Lee
ArXiv Preprint, 2023
Project page / ArXiv / Code

We developed a 3D Gaussian splatting scene generation pipeline that iteratively generates and aligns parts of the scene.

Depth-Regularized Optimization for 3D Gaussian Splatting in Few-Shot Images
Jaeyoung Chung, Jeongtaek Oh, Kyoung Mu Lee
IEEE/CVF Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition Workshop (CVPRW), 2024
Best Paper Runner-up Awards (Cert. & Link)
Project page / Paper / ArXiv / Code

We introduce a method to optimize Gaussian splatting with a limited image set, mitigating overfitting by incorporating a estimated depth map as a geometric guide.

MEIL-NeRF: Memory-Efficient Incremental Learning of Neural Radiance Fields
Jaeyoung Chung, Kanggeon Lee, Sungyong Baik, Kyoung Mu Lee
IEEE Access, 2025
Project page / Paper / ArXiv / Code

We study the incremental learning scenario in Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) first time and propose a self-distillation-based method alleviating catastrophic forgetting without memory increasing.

3DIAS: 3D Shape Reconstruction with Implicit Algebraic Surfaces
Mohsen Yavartanoo*, Jaeyoung Chung*, Reyhaneh Neshatavar, Kyoung Mu Lee
International Conference on Computer Vision (ICCV), 2021
Project page / Paper / ArXiv / Video / Code

We propose a constrained implicit algebraic surface as the primitive with few learnable coefficients and higher geometrical complexities.
