Abstract

Holographic devices must reconstruct an entire light field given a finite number of spatial light modulator (SLM) pixels, and must do so using scalar-wave diffraction from coherent illumination alone. As a result, computer-generated holography (CGH) often has speckling artifacts. We propose HoOPOE (Holography-Optimized Perceptual ObjectivE function), a CGH-specific, perceptually-aware loss function that hides speckles from human vision. HoOPOE is effective for CGH optimizations because it accounts for the human visual system's sensitivity to spatio-temporal frequencies and color, and its parameters are tuned to maximize its performance as a loss function for CGH. We use HoOPOE to generate holograms for mesh-derived focal stacks. We then conduct a user study to benchmark HoOPOE-generated holograms against existing loss functions. HoOPOE yields the most visually pleasing results; users prefer HoOPOE 68% of the time over the next best objective function on average.

MeshSplatBench: A Unified Benchmark for Triangle- and Mesh-Based Neural Rendering

Triangle- and mesh-based neural rendering seeks to bridge neural representations and graphics engines through triangle primitives compatible with standard rasterization. Yet existing methods were developed and evaluated under inconsistent settings, with few direct comparisons and little evaluation in graphics engines. We introduce MeshSuite, the first benchmark for systematic evaluation of engine deployment and Non-Engine Render in triangle- and mesh-based neural rendering. MeshSuite evaluates two deployment settings: Standard Deployment, using an opaque mesh pipeline with vertex colors and hardware Z-buffering; and Dedicated Deployment, using method-specific engine implementations to preserve appearance and compositing features. For mesh splatting, we also audit exported surfaces for topological and geometric integrity as downstream graphics assets. Our results show that engine deployment reduces image quality in both settings; among evaluated methods, MeshSplatting degrades least under Standard Deployment. Dedicated Deployment preserves most fidelity at roughly 5-33x the runtime of Standard Deployment across two deployment datasets. For mesh splatting, explicit connectivity and shared indexing remain limited: shared vertex indexing alone guarantees neither manifoldness nor global connectivity. These findings show that rasterizability is only part of graphics readiness and underscore the need to assess engine deployment. Project page: https://prinasi.github.io/MeshSuite.

Sivia: Learning to Draw, Learning to Learn

A paper's overview figure is often the first thing readers see: it must explain the method correctly and look polished. We present Sivia, an overview-figure system that reads the paper, plans its relations, adapts visual organization from recent top-conference papers, and composes a design for image generation. Sivia improves with use through human-guided recursive self-improvement (RSI) at two levels: learning to draw revises its drawing skill from feedback on accuracy and presentation, and learning to learn revises the updater that proposes those revisions. A personal profile adapts presentation to its user's aesthetic preferences while the scientific content stays fixed. A diagnostic study of 1,964 overviews for 445 papers (17,973 relation judgments) shows that most errors are omissions and that source-derived relation plans raise required-relation accuracy (RRA) by up to 19.85 points. On 48 test papers, learning both levels reaches 93.54\% RRA, 15.31, 9.38, and 8.33 points above the initial skill, the Fixed-updater, and the GEPA baselines, while readability and visual quality rise from 3.95 and 4.00 to 4.70 and 4.78 on five-point scales. Learned presentation profiles raise liking from 4.02 to 4.73 and adoption from 34 to 45 of 48 tasks. Code and released artifacts are available at https://github.com/exsinger-hub/Sivia

Integrating 3D Posture Neutralization with Statistical Shape Modeling for Head-Neck-Shoulder Ergonomic Design

The design of ergonomic products and workspaces requires a deep understanding of human anatomy and posture. In particular, the head-neck-shoulder region is critical for many applications such as cervical orthoses, helmets, and other head-worn or neck-worn devices. This paper presents a framework that integrates posture neutralization with statistical shape modeling (SSM) for the head-neck-shoulder (HNS) region. We acquire a single three-dimensional (3D) scan of the head-neck-shoulder region from each of 200 Chinese adults in a natural posture for each subject. Every scan is then posture-neutralized before SSM. We fit a parametric head-neck model to each scan to separate cervical pose from anatomy, and reset the cervical pose to a common neutral configuration, so that the resulting model captures anatomical shape variation rather than posture-induced deformation. The resulting shape space yields a standardized template and population-wide modes of variation, providing baselines for parametric ergonomic design. We further discuss how the model supports population coverage analysis and the design of products that accommodate anatomical diversity while maintaining neutral cervical posture.
