arXiv:2511. 17126v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Emerging deep-learning-based lens library pre-training (LensLib-PT) pipeline offers a new avenue for blind lens aberration correction by training a universal neural network, demonstrating strong capability in handling diverse unknown optical degradations.

Defocus blur degrades fine image structures and limits visual perception, which can adversely affect downstream vision tasks. Although recent deep learning deblurring methods have achieved strong performance, their effectiveness depends on training data and often degrades across cameras and lenses due to limited optical diversity and realism in existing datasets.
arXiv:2608. 19860v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Single-shot exposure correction aims to map an arbitrarily degraded image---whether under-exposed, over-exposed, or a spatial mixture of both---to a well-exposed output from a single capture.

The paper presents a collaborative on‑sensor array camera that uses a distributed meta‑optics learning method to jointly optimize a 100‑million‑nanopost metasurface array for broadband visible imaging. By training the array end‑to‑end with a learned meta‑atom proxy and a parallax‑aware, noise‑aware reconstruction algorithm, the design overcomes the wavelength‑dependent limitations of traditional metalenses. Experimental results show that the camera delivers consistent image quality across varying scene illumination spectra without relying on generative reconstruction.

We present FoundationGeo, a two-stage framework that explicitly bridges relative and metric prediction via spatial calibration and principled data design. Stage 1 learns a high-fidelity, affine-invariant geometry model by initializing with DINOv3 and training on a curated 10.
NaCR: Visual Localization via NeRF-aided Camera Ray Regression proposes a unified framework that integrates Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) with Camera Ray Regression (CRR) to improve visual localization accuracy. The method enhances the CRR baseline with three simple improvements, augments training data by synthesizing novel views from a pre‑trained NeRF, and employs a closed‑loop supervision pipeline that back‑propagates photometric rendering errors to refine predicted camera rays. A two‑stage training curriculum ensures stable convergence, and experiments on indoor and outdoor benchmarks show competitive accuracy with validated component efficacy.
