    The geometry of image formation

    A practical derivation of the pinhole camera model, its coordinate systems, and the assumptions hidden inside a projection matrix.

  2. Notebook

    Normalize camera coordinates before blaming calibration

    A pixel-space residual looked like calibration drift, but the comparison mixed normalized and distorted coordinates.

  3. Article

    A benchmark is an experimental record

    GPU timing numbers become useful only when hardware, synchronization, sampling, and raw observations remain attached to the result.

  4. Notebook

    GPU synchronization changed the ranking

    Adding synchronization reversed an apparent latency advantage between two inference paths.

  5. Notebook

    Half precision made the solver look converged

    A residual plateau was mistaken for convergence after reduced precision erased the update direction.

  6. Notebook

    Reading a method paper backwards

    Starting with evaluation details and failure cases can expose a paper's actual contribution faster than reading from the abstract forward.
