   Volumetric learning underpins many 3D vision tasks such as completion, reconstruction, and mesh generation, yet training objectives still rely on Chamfer Distance (CD) or Earth Mover’s Distance (EMD), which fail to balance recall and precision. We propose Quality-Aware Loss (QAL), a drop-in replacement for CD/EMD that combines a coverage-weighted nearest-neighbor term with an uncovered–ground-truth attraction term, explicitly decoupling recall and precision into tunable components.

   Empir3D: A Framework for Multi-Dimensional Point Cloud Assessment

   Yash Turkar, Pranay Meshram, Christo Aluckal, and 2 more authors

   Empir3D proposes a multi-dimensional point cloud evaluation framework with metrics for resolution, accuracy, coverage, and artifacts, providing richer assessment of SLAM and point cloud completion results beyond traditional Chamfer or EMD.
