Diagnosing and Repairing Shape-Prior Shortcuts in Long-Range Single-Shot Fringe Projection Profilometry

Researchers use mechanistic interpretability and conformal uncertainty to address shape-prior shortcuts in long-range single-shot fringe projection profilometry.

Long-range fringe projection profilometry faces challenges like signal-to-noise degradation and ill-posed inverse problems. This study applies mechanistic interpretability and conformal uncertainty quantification to diagnose and repair model shortcuts, improving performance beyond the 1-meter standoff range.
