FYI we're doing the challenge again! Don't worry about the graphic content warning--it's just Ranch 99 grocery meat.
🧵STIR Challenge returns for MICCAI 2025 We're inviting researchers to submit their point tracking methods on our challenging surgical tissue tracking benchmark. If you're working on robust and efficient point tracking, this is a great opportunity to benchmark and compete.

Can we all just stop with the "sparsity flops"? Have you ever met a user of sparsity flops? This is worse than resort fees at hotels is this price after the fee / before the fee just stop and report normal FLOPS a sparsity flop isn't even a flop like dude you multiplied by 0.

Do we need more data? Different data? Or is PSNR+pseudo GT good enough..

Open ❔ on the huge amount of NERF/etc. appearing in endoscopy. For the future: How do we move past photometric error + pseudo GT? Classical/ML stereo can be used as pseudo-GT, but this only proves that the method replicates the matcher--an upper bound on accuracy. Where to now?
