Abstract: Infrared small target detection (IRSTD) is challenging due to low target-background contrast and small target size, leading to missed detections and false alarms (Fas). To address these ...

We find what condition on gradient vector fields characterizes warped products, Riemannian products and round spheres. To do this we apply the theory of Jacobi equations without conjugate points to ...

I'm trying to do some custom optimization with Lightning, and I wanted to ask here to see if there are any best practices for doing this sort of thing. It's a bit involved but I'll do my best to ...
