Enhancing Dynamic Point Clouds in the Wild: A Grand Challenge on Real-World 4D Volumetric Data

The goal of the Grand Challenge is to advance algorithms that enhance real-world, dynamic (4D) color point clouds by producing accurate, temporally consistent, and visually faithful reconstructions from consumer-grade captures.


Grand Challenge Rules

Participants from all over the world can participate in the challenge. The participants must be of legal age to participate. The maximum team size is 5. Each Team is required to appoint a team leader. This team leader will be the main contact point between the Organizers and the Team.
