Geometric estimation is required for scene understanding and analysis in panoramic 360{\deg} images. Current methods usually predict a single feature, such as depth or surface normal. These methods can lack robustness, especially when…
We argue that the reflection of relic neutrinos from the surface of the Earth results in a significant local $\nu-\bar{\nu}$ asymmetry, far exceeding the expected primordial lepton asymmetry. The net fractional electron neutrino number…
