Soft-Radial Projection for Constrained End-to-End Learning
Integrating hard constraints into deep learning is essential for safety-critical systems. Yet existing constructive layers that project predictions onto constraint boundaries face a fundamental bottleneck: gradient saturation. By collapsing exterior points onto lower-dimensional surfaces, standard orthogonal projections induce rank-deficient Jacobians, which nullify gradients orthogonal to active constraints and hinder optimization. We introduce Soft-Radial Projection, a differentiable reparameterization layer that circumvents this issue through a radial mapping from Euclidean space into the interior of the feasible set. This construction guarantees strict feasibility while preserving a full-rank Jacobian almost everywhere, thereby preventing the optimization stalls typical of boundary-based methods. We theoretically prove that the architecture retains the universal approximation property and empirically show improved convergence behavior and solution quality over state-of-the-art optimization- and projection-based baselines.

3D unknown view tomography via rotation invariants
In this paper, we study the problem of reconstructing a 3D point source model from a set of 2D projections at unknown view angles. Our method obviates the need to recover the projection angles by extracting a set of rota…
Revisiting Radial Distortion Absolute Pose
To model radial distortion there are two main approaches; either the image points are undistorted such that they correspond to pinhole projections, or the pinhole projections are distorted such that they align with the i…

On the Equivalence of Moving Entrance Pupil and Radial Distortion for Camera Calibration
Radial distortion for ordinary (non-fisheye) camera lenses has traditionally been modeled as an infinite series function of radial location of an image pixel from the image center. While there has been enough empirical e…
