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

arXiv:2607. 11928v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Single-shot fringe projection profilometry (FPP) networks that regress depth directly can exploit a shape-prior shortcut, recovering depth from object boundaries rather than from fringe phase.

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.

Does the VGGT Family Need All Its Layers?

The study investigates which layers of feed‑forward geometry models—specifically VGGT, π³, and VGGT‑Ω—are essential for preserving camera poses and dense 3D structure. By pruning 3,018 configurations and evaluating seven metrics across indoor and outdoor datasets, the authors identify two redundancy regions (early and late) and show that combined deletions degrade performance additively, enabling more efficient pruning. They also demonstrate that CKA can serve as a cheaper proxy for interval degradation, and that closed‑form linear calibration can recover accuracy without retraining, reducing aggregator parameters by up to 44% while maintaining comparable performance.
