If we do spatial queries in R^3, should we call the data structure kd-tree, 3d-tree, or just be honest about it and call it sorted pointcloud?

Assume that you have a "cone" represented by normal n and cos(θ), where θ is the half angle, how do you compute the intersection of the two without involving acos?
I'm actually mostly interested in the binary classification (interesects / doesn't intersect)

Prove me wrong: For all the 3R papers, there is no reason for not running a fusion over your results. The figures would be way more readable, and misalignment more obvious. The fuzziness of point-clouds hides it.
We have the technology!

Really looking forward to people starting to up the energy of their 3D reconstruction paper titles.
These guys had it figured out, i'd skip the question mark tho.

Great to see that focusing on strong two-view prediction, coupled with classical back-end optimization can lead to SOTA results!

Also, you don't need 80GB GPU for inference ;)

Kinda struggling with all the Dust3R / VGGT followups.
How much is the improvement due to any proposed architectural changes, and how much is it just training for a longer time?

I wonder if a side-effect of LLMs will be lesser adoptions of new programming languages, esp. languages developed after LLM-boom. While the outputs of an LLM on C / JS are impressive, trying it on something like Odin is a bit of a dumpster fire.
