We propose a nonparametric method to learn the L\'evy density from probability density data governed by a nonlocal Fokker-Planck equation. We recast the problem as identifying the kernel in a nonlocal integral operator from discrete data,…
Multi-view mesh reconstruction remains a core challenge in computer graphics and vision, especially for recovering high-frequency geometry from sparse observations. Recent methods such as 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) and Neural Radiance…
While 3D Gaussian splatting (3DGS) offers explicit and efficient scene representations for cone-beam computed tomography reconstruction, conventional photometric optimization inherently suffers from spectral bias under ultra sparse-view…

Image generative models, particularly diffusion-based models, have surged in popularity due to their remarkable ability to synthesize highly realistic images. However, since these models are data-driven, they inherit biases from the…
Remote sensing of soil moisture and vegetation water content from space often requires underdetermined inversion of a zeroth-order approximation of the forward radiative transfer equation in L-band---known as the $\tau$-$\omega$ model. This…
