Question about ViewSamplerArbitrary

[whikwon]

In my task, I work with multi-view images captured separately, and I need to sample them arbitrarily. I'm considering using combinatorial sampling to designate some images as the context and others as the target.

I came across the ViewSamplerArbitrary code implementation, which allows the context and target to share the same indices. I'm curious about how sharing indices affects the results compared to combinatorial sampling. (not sharing indices between context and target)

Hi, I am not sure what "sharing indices" means, could you please explain this in detail?

I used "indices" to represent frame numbers, while "sharing indices" refers to the overlapping frame numbers between the target and context when sampling from the full set of frames!
