RANSAC Scoring Done Right: Eliminate Manual Threshold Tuning
New RANSAC variant removes the need for user-supplied inlier scale parameters by marginalizing over scale during scoring instead of estimating it first. This directly solves a persistent pain point in geometric vision pipelines—tuning threshold parameters on contaminated data—making robust model fitting more reliable in production.
