arXiv:2608.20788v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Deep learning-based Multi-View Stereo (MVS) has advanced significantly but often generalizes poorly to unseen scenes, particularly in occluded areas or...
arXiv:2601. 22054v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Scaling has powered recent advances in vision foundation models, yet extending this paradigm to metric depth estimation remains challenging due to heterogeneous sensor noise, camera-dependent biases, and metric ambiguity in noisy cross-source 3D data.
arXiv:2607. 12433v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Diffusion models have recently become the dominant paradigm for monocular depth estimation (MDE).
arXiv:2608. 14136v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Octree-based anchor Gaussian Splatting has emerged as a scalable representation for city-scale novel view synthesis, where multi-level anchors adaptively capture scene content from coarse building structures to fine architectural details.
Scaling 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) to large outdoor scenes is costly in both data acquisition and computation. Adopting panoramic images with equirectangular projection (ERP) can reduce capture effort via their full $360^{\circ}$ field of view, yet the resulting omnipresent visibility invalidates existing partitioning strategies that rely on local camera frustums, causing block-wise optimization to degenerate into global training.
Dual-pixel (DP) imaging enables metric depth estimation from a single camera using sub-aperture disparity. However, the extremely small effective baseline limits disparity observability, leading to structural degradation and depth failure in textureless, low-contrast, or downsampled regions.

arXiv:2607. 16286v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The 3D geometry of real-world scene data is often incomplete.
Monocular depth estimation is a fundamental prerequisite for 3D reconstruction and autonomous navigation in Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). In practical deployments, UAVs operate under highly dynamic camera poses characterized by continuous variations in height, pitch, roll, and field of view (FOV).
arXiv:2604. 05182v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We introduce the Large Sparse Reconstruction Model to study how scaling transformer context windows affects feed-forward 3D reconstruction.
3D scene graphs provide a hierarchical abstraction of environments by encoding spatial entities, such as objects and places, and their relationships. However, existing scene graph systems model object geometry coarsely, relying on partial point clouds or class-level CAD templates, which limits instance-specific shape detail.
