Cross-view geo-localization is challenging due to drastic viewpoint changes and large appearance discrepancies between street-level and satellite imagery. Although existing methods often use geometric warping to expose co-visible cues, such transformations rely on restrictive spatial assumptions and inevitably introduce severe visual distortions under view-dependent visibility, yielding noisy supervision and fragile correspondences.
OpenCVL is a large, open dataset for fine-grained cross-view localization, comprising 617,388 ground‑aerial image pairs from 41 European cities. It blends high‑end sensor data with diverse in‑the‑wild images and includes a curation framework to correct pose annotations, enabling reliable evaluation. The dataset also offers cross‑area and snowy test sets to probe generalization, and experiments show that adding noisy in‑the‑wild data improves model performance on clean tests.
Metric feed-forward 3D reconstruction for panoramic data remains under-explored due to the lack of large-scale panoramic RGB-D training data. We present Realsee3D, a hybrid dataset of 10K indoor scenes (1K real, 9K synthetic) with 299K panoramic viewpoints and precise metric annotations, and Argus, a feed-forward network trained on it for metric panoramic 3D reconstruction.

Metric scale monocular geometry estimation has seen significant progress through large-scale data aggregation, yet current foundation models suffer from a persistent ''scale-collapse'' phenomenon: distant landmarks and vast landscapes are metrically underestimated. We hypothesize that this performance gap stems from a training data bottleneck, where existing metric-scale datasets are hardware-constrained to homogenous vehicle-captured LiDAR or short-range indoor scans, or consist of synthetic data that lacks the semantic complexity of the physical world.
Visual localization becomes extremely challenging in planetary-like terrains characterized by low texture, perceptual aliasing, harsh illumination, and sparse, weakly overlapping viewpoints induced by forward rover motion and unconstrained driving directions. Under these conditions, state-of-the-art image-to-image and image-to-map matching pipelines suffer significant performance degradation.
Global visual localization of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) using remote-sensing reference maps has attracted increasing attention. However, acquisition-time and imaging-platform differences between UAV and reference imagery induce substantial cross-domain appearance and viewpoint shifts, challenging robust six-degree-of-freedom (6-DoF) pose estimation.
GeoMAD is a multi‑view anomaly detection framework that fuses multiple camera viewpoints while maintaining geometric awareness and scalability to multi‑class industrial settings. It introduces a Cross‑view Deformable Fusion Module (CDFM) that learns view‑pair‑specific sampling offsets on 2D feature maps, enabling hierarchical cross‑view correspondence without camera calibration or voxel construction. Additionally, Distributional View Alignment (DVA) provides a self‑supervised loss that aligns bottleneck distributions across views, ensuring global consistency without pixel‑level correspondence. Together, CDFM and DVA achieve geometry‑aware, distribution‑consistent fusion and demonstrate strong detection and localization performance on Real‑IAD and MANTA‑Tiny datasets.
