Monocular-to-stereo conversion synthesizes stereoscopic content from 2D videos for immersive 3D experiences. In modern Depth-Image-Based Rendering (DIBR) approaches, stereo inpainting of disocclusions is the critical bottleneck. Training-based methods achieve superior quality but rely on scarce stereo pairs or synthetic data with domain gaps. We address this through the first self-supervised framework learning from monocular videos via cycle consistency. Our key contribution is the Geometric Reciprocity Theorem (GRT): under the nearest-neighbor DIBR formulation, the disocclusion mask when synthesizing a target view equals the mask of pixels lost when warping back from target to source, enabling analytical computation of test-time disocclusion masks directly from monocular images. This yields train-test consistency for the stated warping formulation, supporting self-supervised learning from unlimited monocular videos and substantial improvements over training-free and supervised state-of-the-art methods.

Online Continual Self-Supervised Learning (OCSSL) aims to learn representations from a continuous stream of unlabeled data, without knowledge of task boundaries and under memory constraints. Existing methods rely either on replay buffers that exploit latent space structure, or on…
Self-supervision is a powerful technique for learning visual representations from unlabeled data. Existing techniques primarily adopt a two-stage approach for self-supervised learning (SSL): a pretraining stage on unlabeled data followed by a finetuning stage on labeled data. Whi…
Cross-modal learning, i.e., learning to predict one modality from another, is a fundamental mechanism for self-supervision via leveraging multimodality. Many practical applications, e.g., deploying a household robot, involve devices that are equipped with a rich set of sensors th…
AI-generated videos (AIGVs) typically contain subtle temporal artifacts that arise from inter-frame inconsistencies rather than within individual frames. A detector that captures such artifacts should therefore benefit from video pretrained backbones over image only ones. In prac…
Medical image encoders from different groups are increasingly treated as interchangeable, on the assumption that scale and clinical supervision concentrate their representations onto a shared structure. Whether this convergence is real, what produces it, and whether it is clinica…
Self-supervised learning (SSL) has emerged as an effective paradigm for learning transferable representations from large-scale unlabeled whole slide images (WSIs). However, existing SSL methods primarily learn generic visual features and often fail to explicitly capture pathology…
