Figure, table and section ledger

Editorial contribution type: Training, objectives & optimization (primary).

Layout extraction, not a required paper template. Counts are distinct caption labels; a multi-panel figure counts once. Section spans are estimated from heading positions, including floats and whitespace. Method and limitations.

Section-by-section lengths and source pages

The title/abstract/front matter precede the first numbered heading. A span ends at the next detected top-level heading, not at the last sentence; end-page whitespace is included. References and statements are listed separately. These are not measurements of text-only or artwork area.

Argument and organization

1. Problem and contribution

   Identifies why simply making camera poses learnable in Gaussian splatting does not reproduce successful NeRF optimization.

2. Argument sequence

   Analyzes gradients, redesigns their flow, introduces densification and then adds energy scheduling before benchmarking.

3. Evidence and verification

   Table 1 quantifies the toy-task mechanism; later benchmark tables state shared initial camera noise and separate rendering from pose accuracy.

Clarity and writing conventions

The method overview explicitly marks fixed primitive positions and learnable poses, making the unusual optimization contract visible.

What to reuse—and what not to infer

Transferable lesson: Use a reduced controlled problem to expose the suspected failure, then test the same intervention in the real task.

Boundary: A toy alignment result is explanatory evidence, not a proof of convergence in arbitrary 3D scenes; initialization and local minima remain relevant.

Apply this lesson using the argument and evidence worksheet.
