Artic-O: End-to-End Articulated Object Reconstruction via Latent Geometry Learning

Artic-O is an end‑to‑end, feed‑forward framework that reconstructs articulated objects from sparse images by learning latent geometry. It maps multi‑state observations into a pretrained latent geometry space, uses a frozen flow‑matching decoder for complete‑shape priors, and fuses visual tokens with geometry latents in an image‑grounded part‑reasoning module to segment active parts and predict articulation. Trained with a geometry‑to‑articulation curriculum and a decoupled two‑pass strategy, Artic‑O achieves high reconstruction quality and articulation accuracy while drastically reducing inference time from 9 minutes to about 0.3 seconds per object.

KaiNinja: Extending Native 3D Generators to the Part Level

KaiNinja extends the native 3D generator TRELLIS.2 to produce part-level meshes by introducing a dual‑volume representation that overcomes the single‑sheet limitation of the O‑Voxel grid. It maintains TRELLIS.2’s speed and quality while eliminating the need for external segmentation, and is trained on diverse data including CAD models and assets created by an LLM‑driven agent. The method improves whole‑object fidelity and outperforms other part‑generation pipelines, reducing Chamfer distance by 40% and increasing strict part F‑score by 16%.

Where Appearance Fails, Geometry Recognizes: A CAD-Free 3D Shape Prior That Complements Vision Foundation Models

The paper introduces a CAD‑free 3D shape prior that enhances object recognition by reconstructing each object with 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) from short RGB‑D scans and fusing the resulting shape prototype with frozen DINOv2 image features. Experiments on T‑LESS and HOPE datasets show that geometry alone can match or exceed CAD‑based recognition, and that the combined approach improves performance, especially on shape‑distinctive or partially occluded objects. The study demonstrates that the benefit comes from the geometric information rather than rendered pixels, and that the prior is complementary to frozen vision features.
