The paper introduces Adaptive World Memory 3D Foundation Model (AWM-3DFM), a memory‑centric 3D foundation model that scales to large‑scale robotic localization, reconstruction, and Gaussian rendering. It employs transformer‑based gated updates, test‑time temporal‑spatial regulation, and local submap organization to maintain persistent memory, accuracy, and consistency across long image sequences. A Gaussian reconstruction head unifies pose estimation, dense point‑cloud reconstruction, and photorealistic rendering, achieving superior trajectory accuracy, reconstruction completeness, and rendering quality on public benchmarks and diverse robotic datasets.

Point Diffusion Mamba (PDM) is a new method that fuses diffusion models with state‑space modeling to perform single‑view 3D reconstruction when training data are scarce. It uses a lightweight reconstruction module for unordered point‑clouds, a Local Geometric Aggregation module combined with Mamba blocks to capture both global geometry and local detail, and a Hierarchical Feature Integration Network to merge high‑level semantic and local geometric features for each point. A Dynamic Weighted Sampling strategy further improves reconstruction quality by integrating generative priors, and experiments on ShapeNet and Pix3D show that PDM outperforms existing state‑of‑the‑art approaches.

PIVOT is a new multi‑trajectory dataset and evaluation framework that captures real‑world scenes with diverse camera paths, preserving both sensor‑derived measured poses and COLMAP‑optimized poses along with calibrated and optimized intrinsics. It defines three benchmark families—seen vs. unseen trajectory generalization, measured vs. optimized pose sensitivity, and calibrated vs. optimized intrinsics sensitivity—and introduces a directed pose‑space Chamfer distance to assess pose coverage. The first version of PIVOT includes five scenes recorded with a DJI Mini 4 Pro and offers an open processing and Nerfstudio‑based evaluation toolchain, revealing a consistent quality gap between held‑out and unseen trajectories and significant sensitivity to pose source and camera intrinsics.
