World Action Models (WAMs) are able to leverage pretrained video generators for both world modeling and action prediction. However, directly leveraging such video generators for control raises a new challenge: how to represent actions in a suitable form that aligns with pretrained video generators while carrying enough motion cues for accurate control.

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).

TAPVid-MV is a new benchmark for tracking any point in 3D across multiple synchronized camera views. It comprises 284 sequences, 1,142 calibrated camera streams, and 109,769 point tracks, covering indoor and outdoor domains and derived from various modalities such as depth, LiDAR, SLAM, and simulation. The dataset is visually verified, and evaluation shows that current multi‑view trackers do not consistently outperform monocular trackers, highlighting geometry recovery as a key bottleneck.

AVID is a new benchmark dataset for detecting tiny aerial targets, comprising 32,040 RGB‑infrared frame pairs from 115 videos with 35,952 bird and drone annotations at 320×256 resolution. The dataset focuses on very small objects, with 68.1% of targets having a geometric‑mean bounding‑box side of 8–16 pixels and 99.0% meeting the COCO small‑object criterion. It introduces metrics for cross‑modal alignment and an AVID‑C extension that simulates seven families of image degradation at five severity levels to study the impact of scale, degradation, and alignment on detection performance.

Manifold4D introduces a new denoising strategy for video re‑shooting that injects a rendered point‑cloud directly into the initial noise manifold, eliminating the need for the render to be an explicit conditioning stream during denoising. This approach allows the network to rely solely on the source video as a visual condition, improving camera‑control accuracy on the DAVIS‑Traj benchmark and Vista4D set, with significant reductions in rotation and translation errors while maintaining video fidelity. User studies confirm enhanced trajectory following and dynamic consistency, especially for large yaw amplitudes and even when the render is corrupted.
