Best Paper Award at 3DV 2026 for LAPA Multi-Camera Point Tracking
ECE Associate Professor Sarah Ostadabbas and her team of PhD, MS, and postdoctoral researchers at the Augmented Cognition Lab received the Best Paper Award at the 2026 International Conference on 3D Vision for their paper on “Look Around and Pay Attention: Multi-camera Point Tracking Reimagined with Transformers“. Their research, led by PhD student Bishoy Galoaa, introduces LAPA, an end-to-end transformer architecture for multi-camera point tracking that jointly reasons across views and time. By incorporating epipolar geometry into cross-view attention, the method enables robust 3D trajectory reconstruction, even under challenging conditions such as occlusion.
