On “Inconsistencies of metalens performance and comparison with conventional diffractive optics”

Kavli Affiliate: Andrei Faraon | First 5 Authors: Amir Arbabi, Andrei Faraon, , , | Summary: It was recently claimed1 that reported focusing efficiency values of high numerical aperture metalenses are inconsistent with a theoretical bound, and their measurement results are incorrectly interpreted. We review the article and conclude that these claims are not well […]

Distribution Guidance Network for Weakly Supervised Point Cloud Semantic Segmentation

Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: Zhiyi Pan, Wei Gao, Shan Liu, Ge Li, | Summary: Despite alleviating the dependence on dense annotations inherent to fully supervised methods, weakly supervised point cloud semantic segmentation suffers from inadequate supervision signals. In response to this challenge, we introduce a novel perspective that imparts auxiliary constraints […]
