When I'm not being annoyed by the toxicity of the Star Wars fandom as a whole, the manufactured discourse following Rings of Power since S1 bugs me. This looks EPIC, and I'm sorry, but arguing that it can only be left to Jackson devalues the LOFTR trilogy even further...

(and Im a big fan of the LoftR, its probably my most read book, but his descriptions of race are problematic)

"Without saying your age, what is your favorite movie that came out when you were 20 years old?"

The LOFTR and the Hobbit are my comfort movies! I saw this in theater when it came out! I will sit there and watch all of them!

Eu nunca li, então, não posso opinar, mas confio na sua opinião. E sobre a questão de "cópia", eu quis dizer mais como referência, mesmo. O George Martin já deixou claro que tem LoftR como inspiração (Tolkien abriu muitas portas, claro) e quanto a Nárnia, os autores eram amigos, então, é só isso.

A Coding Deep Dive into Differentiable Computer Vision with Kornia Using Geometry Optimization, LoFTR Matching, and GPU Augmentations
We implement an advanced, end-to-end Kornia tutorial and demonstrate how modern, differentiable computer vision can be built entirely in PyTorch. We start by constructing GPU-accelerated, synchronized augmentation pipelines for images, masks, and keypoints, then move into differentiable geometry by optimizing a homography directly through gradient descent. We also show how learned feature matching with LoFTR integrates with Kornia’s RANSAC to estimate robust homographies and produce a simple stitched output, even under constrained or offline-safe conditions.

pensando na criatividade do pessoal de Aneis de Poder que deram o nome Adar pra um personagem, sendo o mundo terreno de LOFTR se chama Arda. Nao tem como nao confundir

I felt MERP was and is the only fit for LoftR

Let's have another LotR pic 😁
This shoot was real fun! I love posing with swords 😅

It sounds like a place straight out of LOFTR.

LoFTR and monocular depth map from DepthAnything V2 to restore reliable and realistic depth map for initialization and supervised guidance. Finally, we integrate segmentation image with monocular depth map to exploit inter-instance occlusion [5/7 of https://arxiv.org/abs/2503.13721v1]

I'd say that 30k is unrealistic and only makes sense if you are going to compare to RoMa or LOFTR.
