A surface photographed under even light presents nearly the same appearance from every angle; the same surface under uneven light does not. Exposure changes between views, illumination varies within a single image, and locally strong light sources leave one region bright and its neighbor in shadow. Multi-view reconstru …

Vision-language-action (VLA) models typically operate on RGB images produced by a fixed camera image signal processor (ISP), leaving the imaging pipeline outside the learning and evaluation loop. We systematically examine the consequences of this overlooked design choice across five fundamental ISP dimensions: gain, se …

Ground-based planetary imaging suffers from atmospheric turbulence, sensor noise, and limited sampling, making restoration a joint denoising, deblurring, and super-resolution problem. We present ASTRA-SR, a blind single-frame restoration framework trained on a physics-grounded synthetic dataset. High-dynamic-range spac …
