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.

Anchor3R is a streaming 3D reconstruction framework that predicts window-relative poses and local geometry in the current‑frame coordinate system, forming a dense relative‑pose graph for online pose updates and loop‑aware motion averaging. It improves long‑horizon pose accuracy and dense reconstruction quality on indoor, outdoor, driving, and RGB‑D benchmarks, and generalizes from 48‑frame training sequences to streams exceeding 10,000 frames while keeping GPU memory bounded. The method addresses issues of train‑test mismatch, early‑anchor bias, and accumulated drift found in previous streaming models.
Matisse is a training‑free framework that combines active 3D reconstruction with keyframe selection by using evidence from a pretrained generative 3D model. It estimates evidential uncertainty via cross‑attention on 3D latent tokens and derives an evidential information gain to guide view acquisition and keyframe selection, reducing redundant observations and supporting multi‑object scenes with occlusion‑aware aggregation. On GSO30, YCB‑V, and Replica, Matisse improves Chamfer distance by 12.7%, 3.8%, and 9.2% respectively, and speeds up end‑to‑end reconstruction by 1.5× compared to the best baseline.

The paper introduces PointVGGT, a zero‑shot framework for multiview RGB‑D point cloud registration that replaces the traditional pairwise‑then‑global pipeline. It employs a foundation‑then‑refinement paradigm, using visual geometry foundation models to directly recover metrically consistent global poses and then refining them with voxelized spatial hashing and IRLS‑based bundle adjustment. Experiments on indoor, object‑centric, and outdoor datasets demonstrate superior registration accuracy and computational efficiency without any training.

The paper introduces Epipolar Distillation (EpiDistill), a method that transfers scale‑aware geometric priors from multi‑view models to monocular depth foundation models using Rectified Stereo Tokens. By preserving epipolar attention patterns, the single‑view model maintains geometric consistency without needing multi‑view inputs during inference. Experiments show significant improvements in zero‑shot metric depth estimation on challenging datasets such as ETH3D and DIODE, and the approach consistently boosts performance of state‑of‑the‑art ViT‑based models like UniDepthV2 and DepthPro.
