Plane-Based Optimization of Geometry and Texture for RGB-D Reconstruction of Indoor Scenes

We present a novel approach to reconstruct RGB-D indoor scene with plane primitives. Our approach takes as input a RGB-D sequence and a dense coarse mesh reconstructed by some 3D reconstruction method on the sequence, and generate a lightweight, low-polygonal mesh with clear face textures and sharp features without losing geometry details from the original scene. To achieve this, we firstly partition the input mesh with plane primitives, simplify it into a lightweight mesh next, then optimize plane parameters, camera poses and texture colors to maximize the photometric consistency across frames, and finally optimize mesh geometry to maximize consistency between geometry and planes. Compared to existing planar reconstruction methods which only cover large planar regions in the scene, our method builds the entire scene by adaptive planes without losing geometry details and preserves sharp features in the final mesh. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach by applying it onto several RGB-D scans and comparing it to other state-of-the-art reconstruction methods.Comment: in International Conference on 3D Vision 2018; Models and Code: see https://github.com/chaowang15/plane-opt-rgbd. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1905.0885

Non-spectator Contributions To The Lifetime of Λb\Lambda_{b}

In this work, we evaluate the contributions of non-spectator effects to the lifetimes of $\Lambda_b$ and B-mesons. Based on the well-established models and within a reasonable range of the concerned parameters, the contributions can reduce the lifetime of $\Lambda_b$ by $7 \sim 8$ compared to that of B-mesons which are not significantly affected. This might partly explain the measured ratio $\tau(\Lambda_{b})/\tau(B^{0})=0.79$ \cite{Data}, which has been a long-standing discrepancy between theory and experimental data

Possible large CPCP violation in three body decays of heavy baryon

We propose a new mechanism which can introduce large $CP$ asymmetries in the phase spaces of three-body decays of heavy baryons. In this mechanism, a large $CP$ asymmetry is induced by the interference of two intermediate resonances, which subsequently decay into two different combinations of final particles. We apply this mechanism to the decay channel $\Lambda_b^0 \to p \pi^0\pi^-$, and find that the differential $CP$ asymmetry can reach as large as $50\%$, while the regional $CP$ asymmetry can reach as large as $16\%$ in the interference region of the phase space.Comment: 7 pages, 2 figures, 2nd version accepted by Phys.

Localized direct CP violation in B±→ρ0(ω)π±→π+π−π±B^\pm\rightarrow \rho^0 (\omega)\pi^\pm\rightarrow \pi^+ \pi^-\pi^\pm

We study the localized direct CP violation in the hadronic decays $B^\pm\rightarrow \rho^0 (\omega)\pi^\pm\rightarrow\pi^+ \pi^-\pi^\pm$, including the effect caused by an interesting mechanism involving the charge symmetry violating mixing between $\rho^0$ and $\omega$. We calculate the localized integrated direct CP violation when the low invariant mass of $\pi^+\pi^-$ [$m(\pi^+\pi^-)_{low}$] is near $\rho^0(770)$. For five models of form factors investigated, we find that the localized integrated direct CP violation varies from -0.0170 to -0.0860 in the ranges of parameters in our model when $0.750<m(\pi^+\pi^-)_{low}<0.800$\,GeV. This result, especially the sign, agrees with the experimental data and is independent of form factor models. The new experimental data shows that the signs of the localized integrated CP asymmetries in the regions $0.470<m(\pi^+\pi^-)_{low}<0.770$\,GeV and $0.770<m(\pi^+\pi^-)_{low}<0.920$\,GeV are positive and negative, respectively. We find that $\rho$-$\omega$ mixing makes the localized integrated CP asymmetry move towards the negative direction, and therefore contributes to the sign change in those two regions. This behavior is also model independent. We also calculate the localized integrated direct CP violating asymmetries in the regions $0.470<m(\pi^+\pi^-)_{low}<0.770$\,GeV and $0.770<m(\pi^+\pi^-)_{low}<0.920$\,GeV and find that they agree with the experimental data in some models of form factors.Comment: 22 pages, 2 figures. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:hep-ph/0602043, arXiv:hep-ph/0302156 by other author
