End-to-end optimization, which integrates differentiable optics simulators with computational algorithms, enables the joint design of hardware and software for data-driven imaging systems. However, existing methods usually compromise physical accuracy by neglecting wave optics or off-axis effects du…
Recent monocular metric depth estimation (MMDE) methods have made notable progress towards zero-shot generalization. However, they still exhibit a significant performance drop on out-of-distribution datasets. We address this limitation by injecting defocus blur cues at inference time into Marigold,…
Recently, 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) has enabled photorealistic view synthesis at high inference speeds. However, its splatting-based rendering model makes several approximations to the rendering equation, reducing physical accuracy. We show that splatting and its approximations are unnecessary, e…
