arXiv:2605. 26702v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Reliable watermarking of panoramic imagery is fundamentally challenged by arbitrary 3D rotations.

arXiv:2606. 27864v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision transformers have become a dominant architecture for visual recognition.
arXiv:2606. 04108v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Single-view 3D generative models have achieved impressive visual quality, yet they are not designed to satisfy structural or functional requirements, and in practice, often fall short.
arXiv:2505. 21736v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Translation equivariance is a central reason convolutional neural networks have been successful in computer vision.
Vision Foundation Models (VFMs) have significantly advanced dense feature matching, yet severe in-plane rotation remains a critical challenge. Existing solutions face a fundamental dilemma: data-driven methods require inefficient parameter scaling to implicitly learn rotations, whereas strictly equivariant networks lack the semantic capacity of modern VFMs.
Geometric foundation models, such as the Visual Geometry Grounded Transformer (VGGT), provide strong 3D priors from unposed images. However, such models operate purely in a feed-forward, deterministic regime, \ie~they cannot generate plausible geometry beyond what the input views directly support.
arXiv:2607. 00746v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The bird's-eye view (BEV) representation enables multi-sensor features to be fused within a unified space, serving as the primary approach for achieving comprehensive 3D perception.
arXiv:2505. 15441v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Natural images exhibit strong geometric regularities: local structures, such as edges, corners, and textures, appear in many orientations and mirror configurations.
arXiv:2510. 03511v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: While widespread, Transformers lack inductive biases for geometric symmetries common in science and computer vision.
arXiv:2606. 03260v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Deep learning surrogates for 3D Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) often fail to generalize across geometric transformations because they depend heavily on specific coordinate systems.
arXiv:2607. 00556v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While recent advancements like the Poincar\'e ResNet have demonstrated the potential of learning visual representations directly in hyperbolic space, their optimisation remains hampered by the computationally intensive nature of Riemannian gradients and the strict boundaries of the manifold.
arXiv:2607. 06634v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Compact networks built from Clifford algebra Cl(3,0) primitives are exactly SO(3)-equivariant and learn synthetic 3D vector laws from few samples.
