Asymptotic e-processes
We introduce the concept of an asymptotic e-process, which is a doubly indexed stochastic process $(E_{m,n})_{m,n\in\mathbb{N}}$ that approximates an e-process with monitoring time $n$ in terms of a suitable limiting behavior for an approximation parameter $m\to \infty$. This theory is motivated by practical applications in sequential hypothesis testing, in which e-variables can only be constructe…

RAFT-MSF++: Temporal Geometry-Motion Feature Fusion for Self-Supervised Monocular Scene Flow
Monocular scene flow estimation aims to recover dense 3D motion from image sequences, yet most existing methods are limited to two-frame inputs, restricting temporal modeling and robustness to occlusions. We propose RAFT-MSF++, a self-supervised multi-frame framework that recurrently fuses temporal features to jointly estimate depth and scene flow. Central to our approach is the Geometry-Motion Fe…
