3D structure recovery from a collection of 2D images requires the estimation of the camera locations and orientations, i.e. the camera motion. For large, irregular collections of images, existing methods for the location estimation part, which can be formulated as the inverse problem of estimating n locations t 1 , t 2 , ..., tn in ℝ 3 from noisy measurements of a subset of the pairwise directions t i -t j /∥t i -t j ∥, are sensitive to outliers in direction measurements. In this paper, we firstly provide a complete characterization of well-posed instances of the location estimation problem, by presenting its relation to the existing theory of parallel rigidity. For robust estimation of camera locations, we introduce a two-step approach, comprised of a pairwise direction estimation method robust to outliers in point correspondences between image pairs, and a convex program to maintain robustness to outlier directions. In the presence of partially corrupted measurements, we empirically demonstrate that our convex formulation can even recover the locations exactly. Lastly, we demonstrate the utility of our formulations through experiments on Internet photo collections.

Conventional density functional theory (DFT) fails for materials with strongly correlated electrons, such as late transition metal oxides. Large errors in the intra-atomic Coulomb and exchange interactions are the source of this failure. The DFT+U method has provided a means, through empirical parameters, to correct these errors. Here, we present a systematic ab initio approach in evaluating the intra-atomic Coulomb and exchange terms, U and J, respectively, in order to make the DFT+U method a fully first-principles technique. The method is based on a relationship between these terms and the Coulomb and exchange integrals evaluated in the basis of unrestricted Hartree-Fock molecular orbitals that represent localized states of the extended system. We used this ab initio scheme to evaluate U and J for chromia (Cr2O3). The resulting values are somewhat higher than those determined earlier either empirically or in constrained DFT calculations but have the advantage of originating from an ab initio theory containing exact exchange. Subsequent DFT+U calculations on chromia using the ab initio derived U and J yield properties consistent with experiment, unlike conventional DFT. Overall, the technique developed and tested in this work holds promise in enabling accurate and fully predictive DFT+U calculations of strongly correlated electron materials.

Internet service providers (ISPs) have been facing heavy competition to attract more users in the mobile data market, along with growing operational costs. Most mobile data plans charge users a fixed fee for a monthly data quota, and any unused data at the end of each month will be wasted. In the beginning of 2015, both AT&T and T-Mobile reinstated rollover data plans with constrained eligibility. Users could then keep the unused portion of their monthly data quotas for use in a future month(s). In this work, we evaluate the benefits of rollover data for both ISPs and users as well as identify the types of users who would upgrade to rollover data plans. To do so, we consider two alternatives: a smaller data plan without rollover data, and a more expensive data plan with larger monthly quota that does include rollover data. We find that moderately price-sensitive users benefit from rollover data: price-insensitive users would not have any data to rollover, while extremely price-sensitive users would not find the rollover data worth its higher cost. Under specific bounds on the size of the rollover data plan's monthly quota, we find that users can obtain more utility and ISPs can profit from rollover data, which is verified on one year of usage data from a U.S. ISP.
