SymRegFlow: Symmetry-Regularized Flow Matching for Video World Models

SymRegFlow is a symmetry‑regularized flow‑matching framework that enables multi‑view‑consistent video generation across continuously varying camera poses without requiring ground‑truth novel‑view RGB supervision. The method geometrically warps source views into noisy anchors and uses masked dual‑anchor supervision combined with cross‑anchor denoising‑output consistency to reduce anchor‑specific errors. Experiments on Cosmos‑Drive‑Dreams and nuScenes show that SymRegFlow achieves superior video quality, achieving the lowest FVD and FVMD scores and improving FID and instance preservation compared to existing baselines.

HiSfM: Disambiguating Structure-from-Motion via Scaffold-Anchored Hierarchical Reconstruction

HiSfM introduces a hierarchical coarse‑to‑fine Structure‑from‑Motion framework that enhances robustness and efficiency by building a scaffold of local communities and a compact skeleton using edge‑disjoint spanning trees. The method verifies skeletal edges with a two‑view disambiguator, constructs a stable scaffold as an anchor, and then registers remaining images for refinement. Experiments on ambiguity‑focused benchmarks and general datasets demonstrate that HiSfM avoids ambiguity‑induced failures, reduces runtime, and improves completeness compared to prior approaches.

Think Locally, Refine Globally for Memory-Efficient 3D Reconstruction

LoG-VGGT is a memory‑efficient framework for long‑sequence 3D reconstruction that balances local temporal modeling with global camera consistency. It uses cross‑window attention in a small subset of transformer blocks to propagate information across adjacent temporal windows while keeping memory usage bounded. A global camera consistency refinement module further improves long‑horizon pose stability by enforcing scene‑level constraints through cross‑attention between camera and compact register tokens, leading to better depth accuracy and robust camera pose estimation on multiple benchmarks.

Spectral Consistency-Guided Multiview Point Cloud Registration for Low-Overlap Scenes

The paper introduces GMPCR, a non‑learning spectral consistency‑guided framework for multiview point cloud registration in low‑overlap scenes. GMPCR refines initial correspondences into a second‑order compatibility structure, uses spectral analysis to filter unreliable matches and select informative scan pairs, and then applies maximal‑clique hypothesis generation for robust relative transformations. The resulting sparse pose graph is further refined with an adaptive history‑aware synchronization scheme, and a recovery mechanism allows previously down‑weighted edges to regain confidence, achieving high registration recalls on benchmark datasets while reducing computational cost.
