HiP3R introduces a hierarchical pose graph approach for long‑horizon 3D reconstruction, addressing the trade‑off between chunk‑level and frame‑level optimization. It first builds a robust chunk‑level Sim(3) graph to set the global layout and scale, then fixes this layout while estimating a single SE(3) camera pose per frame to merge overlapping predictions into a unified trajectory. Experiments on multiple benchmarks show that HiP3R improves camera trajectories and 3D reconstruction quality for both chunk‑based and streaming backends without extra training.
Geometry-Aligned Semantic Matching for Cross-Modal Planar Image Registration proposes CDPM, a method that first aligns semantic representations across modalities and then refines correspondences with fine-grained CNN features. CDPM adapts DINOv3 using geometrically consistent cross-modal patch pairs, builds a DINO-Centric Feature Pyramid for stable cross-modal matching, and adds a lightweight CNN branch for precise local refinement. Experiments on three cross-modal datasets show that CDPM outperforms existing dense matchers, improving AUC metrics and reducing mACE while using fewer FLOPs.
GeoFF3D is a new feed‑forward 3D reconstruction method designed for large‑scale UAV mapping. It uses a coordinate‑anchored model that predicts camera poses and dense point maps directly in a gravity‑aligned Z‑up metric frame, while a spatial large‑scale reconstruction framework (SLRF) partitions images into overlapping chunks, propagates shared‑view priors, and aggregates local reconstructions hierarchically. Across nine aerial mapping blocks, GeoFF3D achieves the best average reconstruction quality, improving F@5 from 0.829 to 0.877, and can reconstruct 2,000 images in about five minutes.

SAGE (Semantic-Augmented Geometric Experts) is a new point‑cloud registration method that incorporates frozen, pre‑trained semantic representations into the registration pipeline without extra sensors or fine‑tuning. It uses a Semantic‑Guided Mixture of Experts (SG‑MoE) to route data so that each expert specializes in specific semantic‑geometric patterns, thereby reducing mismatches that plague geometry‑only approaches. On the 3DLoMatch benchmark, SAGE achieves the highest registration recall and, with the same number of refinement iterations, also attains the best inlier ratio and recall on both 3DLoMatch and 3DMatch.
