4D Reconstruction with Events & RGB

The paper presents a lightweight extension to the Monst3R 4D reconstruction model by adding an event-camera input branch while keeping the rest of the architecture unchanged. Across three benchmark datasets, this RGB‑event fusion reduces absolute relative error by an average of 3.4% compared to the RGB‑only baseline, with the largest gains occurring under high object motion where RGB‑only methods falter. The study demonstrates that incorporating event data can meaningfully improve 4D reconstruction robustness without a full architectural redesign.

Gen4P: Video Generators are 4D Perceivers

Gen4P is a unified framework that transforms a pretrained video generator into a feed‑forward 4D perceiver, enabling recovery of 4D geometry and motion from monocular video without iterative denoising. It processes video latents in a single encoder pass and uses a lightweight cross‑attention decoder to predict requested 4D attributes, supporting flexible spatial sampling and continuous‑time queries. By integrating a frozen video‑depth LoRA as a geometry prior, Gen4P improves performance on 3D point tracking, video depth, and camera pose estimation, achieving state‑of‑the‑art or competitive results on benchmark tasks and demonstrating robust tracking of complex motion in in‑the‑wild videos.

E-RGB-D: Real-Time Event-Based Perception with Structured Light

The paper introduces E‑RGB‑D, a real‑time event‑based perception system that combines a Digital Light Processing projector with a monochrome event camera to produce RGB‑D data. By projecting structured light and capturing asynchronous brightness changes, the system can detect color and depth for each pixel, achieving a color detection speed of 1400 fps and a depth detection rate of 4 kHz. The approach enables frameless RGB‑D sensing and delivers colorful point clouds without compromising spatial resolution.

Gen4P: Video Generators are 4D Perceivers

Gen4P is a unified framework that transforms a pretrained video generator into a feed‑forward 4D perceiver, enabling recovery of 4D geometry and motion from monocular video without iterative denoising. It processes clean video latents in a single encoder pass and uses a lightweight cross‑attention decoder to predict requested 4D attributes, supporting flexible spatial sampling and continuous‑time queries for temporal flexibility. By incorporating a frozen pretrained video‑depth LoRA as a geometry prior, Gen4P improves performance on 3D point tracking, video depth, and camera pose estimation, achieving state‑of‑the‑art or competitive results on these tasks and demonstrating robust tracking of complex motion in in‑the‑wild videos.

Geometric-Photometric Event-based 3D Gaussian Ray Tracing

The paper introduces GPERT, a framework that separates event-based 3D Gaussian Splatting into two rendering branches: event-by-event geometry rendering and snapshot-based radiance rendering. By employing ray-tracing and warped event images, GPERT balances accuracy and temporal resolution, achieving state‑of‑the‑art results on real‑world datasets and competitive performance on synthetic data. The method operates without pretrained models or COLMAP initialization, offers flexible event selection, and produces sharp reconstructions of scene edges with rapid training.
