Hi! I’m Kaustav. I’m currently an AI Engineer at Kaliber Labs in San Francisco, and a recent graduate of the CMU Robotics Institute, where I earned my Master's in Computer Vision.
My recent work spans from 3D vision and reconstruction pipelines to robotics and world models, with a sprinkle of AI conversational systems in between.
Used truncated signed distance function (TSDF) fusion for real-time 3D reconstruction of the knee during arthroscopic surgery. We found that oblique viewing angles lead to significant drops in reconstruction quality, which has clinical relevance during surgery.
Developed an autonomous end-to-end cinematographic trajectory generation pipeline with hollywood production company Camera Control.
Used bundle adjustment with neural image feature descriptors to improve gaussian splat 3D reconstruction quality from 360° images.
Created a pipeline to improve performance of SOTA 3D human avatar generation models on in-the-wild images.
Implementation and experimentation with neural plane optimization for 3D scene representation.
