However, their predictions still exhibit inaccurate local surface geometry, which is clearly visible qualitatively but only weakly reflected in common metrics. To make these errors more explicit in evaluation, we introduce a point map normal metric that evaluates the local surface orientation induced by…","published":"2026-10-05T04:00:00Z","seen":"2026-10-05T04:11:02Z","lang":"en","source":{"id":"kite-arxiv-org-1637f0","name":"arxiv.org","domain":"rss.arxiv.org"},"via":"kite-arxiv-org-1637f0","topics":["photonics","cs.cv"],"authors":["Karim Knaebel, Gonzalo Martin Garcia, Christian Schmidt, Ilya Fradlin, Lucas…"],"entities":[{"id":"Q109726770","name":"Surge","type":"other"}],"story":"st_k5xeyvrvazz6q56k7txq","category":"science-technology","category_p":0.9200000166893005,"sentiment":"neutral","tone":0.15000000596046448,"political":0.019999999552965164}]}
