Rolling-shutter cameras introduce characteristic distortions when imaging fast moving objects, and these effects are typically treated as artifacts to be corrected. In this work, we instead leverage rolling-shutter distortions as a valuable source of temporal information to estimate the 3D translational and angular velocities of rapidly moving spherical objects from a single rolling-shutter frame. We design a robust and easily detectable spherical pattern and propose a correspondence-free formulation that recovers motion by enforcing geometric consistency in a back-projection framework. By exploiting the geometry of the sphere, translational and rotational motions are decoupled and estimated through a two-stage optimization process, enabling reliable velocity recovery even for textureless objects. Extensive experiments on both synthetic and real datasets demonstrate accurate and robust estimation of motion parameters under challenging high-speed conditions.
Age estimation from finger vein images has been widely considered impractical due to severe demographic biases in public datasets and physiological confounding factors like gender. To overcome these limitations, we propose MAGE-Vein, a novel multi-instance, multi-task learning fr…
Monocular depth estimation is a fundamental prerequisite for 3D reconstruction and autonomous navigation in Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). In practical deployments, UAVs operate under highly dynamic camera poses characterized by continuous variations in height, pitch, roll, and…
Background and Objective: Generating realistic medical images with anatomically accurate segmentation masks helps address the shortage of annotated data in medical imaging, particularly in optical coherence tomography (OCT) of mouse eyes, where manual retinal layer delineation is…
Industrial anomaly detection and localization are limited by scarce real anomalies and pixel-level annotations, a bottleneck that synthetic image-mask pairs can alleviate. However, existing few-shot mask-guided generation may over-follow mask geometry, produce weak anomalies, or…
Satellite image editing requires spatially precise object-level control, but supervised editing datasets for overhead imagery are costly to build because object masks, semantic labels, and paired edits are rarely available at scale. We introduce SatEdit, a mask-conditioned satell…
LiDAR scene flow estimation has settled into a monoculture: nearly all recent methods share the same feed-forward architecture and the same family of self-supervised losses, inheriting each other's assumptions, and each other's blind spots. When those assumptions fail, as they do…
