A Complete Statistical Inverse Ray Tracing Approach to Multi-view Stereo
This paper presents a complete solution to estimating a scene’s 3D geometry and appearance from multiple 2D images by using a statistical inverse ray tracing method. Instead of ...

The detectability lemma and quantum gap amplification
The quantum analog of a constraint satisfaction problem is a sum of local Hamiltonians - each (term of the) Hamiltonian specifies a local constraint whose violation contributes to...
