Researchers have introduced SAM 3D Animal, a novel framework for reconstructing 3D animal models from single images, even in complex multi-animal scenarios. This system leverages the SMAL+ parametric model and accepts flexible prompts like keypoints and masks to improve accuracy in occluded or crowded scenes. To support this, they also created Herd3D, a new dataset featuring over 5,000 images of multiple animals, designed to enhance diversity in species and interactions. AI
