Defocus blur degrades fine image structures and limits visual perception, which can adversely affect downstream vision tasks. Although recent deep learning deblurring methods have achieved strong performance, their effectiveness depends on training data and often degrades across cameras and lenses due to limited optical diversity and realism in existing datasets.
We present FoundationGeo, a two-stage framework that explicitly bridges relative and metric prediction via spatial calibration and principled data design. Stage 1 learns a high-fidelity, affine-invariant geometry model by initializing with DINOv3 and training on a curated 10.
arXiv:2511. 20853v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Training and evaluation of state-of-the-art computer vision algorithms for reliable shallow depth of field (DoF) rendering and defocus deblurring remain constrained by a persistent lack of large-scale, full-frame, high fidelity, real-image datasets.

We study the challenging problem of novel view video synthesis from single images or monocular videos. Existing methods, which operate under the assumption that pre-trained video models lack native novel view synthesis capability and enforce view alignment via camera conditioning, task-specific fine-tuning, or stepwise hard denoising guidance, often suffer from artifacts and compromised global scene consistency.
arXiv:2607. 09562v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Medical Vision-Language Models (VLMs) exhibit strong zero-shot performance, yet their effectiveness still declines on out-of-distribution (OOD) data due to domain shifts and class bias inherited from large-scale pretraining.

Camera intrinsics are vital for recovering 3D structure from 2D video. However, most 3D algorithms assume fixed intrinsics throughout a video, an assumption that often fails for real-world in-the-wild videos.
