Diagnosing Shape-Prior Shortcuts in Long-Range Single-Shot Fringe Projection Profilometry

arXiv:2606. 17093v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Learning-based single-shot fringe projection profilometry (FPP) has been studied almost entirely at close range, and the networks used are evaluated only on aggregate error, leaving open whether they recover depth from fringe phase or from object-level shape cues that correlate with depth.

From Perspective to Fisheye Depth Estimation and Open-Vocabulary Segmentation

The paper introduces Distortion Extenders (DEX), learnable parameters that adapt vision foundation models to fisheye cameras by modeling distortion coefficients and correcting distributional shifts between fisheye and perspective images. DEX is applied to monocular depth estimation and open‑vocabulary segmentation across convolutional and Transformer architectures, consistently outperforming baselines on indoor and outdoor fisheye datasets. Additionally, DEX activations can be decoded to obtain distortion coefficients, aiding camera calibration.

Learning Projection-Aware 360-Degree Image Rectification via Dual-Projection Fusion

The paper introduces a dual‑projection framework for rectifying 360° panoramic images, combining a convolutional neural network that processes equirectangular projections with a vision transformer that handles cubemap projections. Cross‑projection feature transformation and multi‑level fusion allow the two representations to interact, supporting collaborative inclination estimation and upright panorama generation. Experiments on SUN360 and M3D demonstrate significant accuracy gains, achieving 65.9% and 85.2% within a 1° error threshold and low Fréchet Inception Distance scores.
