Frequency-Structured Field Learning for Light-Field Disparity Estimation
Light-field disparity estimation requires global consistency in smooth or textureless regions and local precision near occlusion boundaries, thin structures, and abrupt depth transitions. Existing methods address these requirements through EPI matching, cost-volume or focal-stack construction, view aggregation, or direct convolutional regression, often relying on local windows, discrete disparity hypotheses, memory-intensive volumes, or attention-based aggregation. We instead formulate disparity estimation at the field level, predicting disparity from globally and locally updated EPI-derived l
DINE: Distance Is Not Enough -- Learning Global Deformation Priors for Robust Soft-Tissue Point Cloud Registration
Non-rigid point cloud registration is central to soft-tissue shape analysis, but large deformations, noise, and outliers make correspondence estimation challenging. Most learning-based methods rely on local objectives such as Chamfer distance, which encourage point-wise proximity but do not constrain the global plausibility of the predicted deformation field. We address this limitation with DINE, a maximum a posteriori framework that augments distance-based registration with a learned statistical prior over displacement vector fields. DINE is applied to two registration backbones, Robust-DefRe
