CARI4D: Category Agnostic 4D Reconstruction of Human-Object Interaction

CARI4D is a category‑agnostic method that reconstructs spatially and temporally consistent 4D human‑object interactions from monocular RGB videos at metric scale. It introduces a pose hypothesis selection algorithm that integrates predictions from foundation models, refines them via a learned render‑and‑compare paradigm, and reasons about contacts to satisfy physical constraints. Experiments demonstrate a 38% improvement on in‑distribution data and 36% on unseen data compared to prior work, and the model generalizes to unseen categories, enabling zero‑shot application to internet videos.

MessyKitchens: Contact-rich object-level 3D scene reconstruction

MessyKitchens introduces a new dataset of cluttered real-world kitchen scenes with detailed 3D object shapes, poses, and accurate contact information. The authors extend the SAM 3D single-object reconstruction method with a Multi-Object Decoder (MOD) to jointly reconstruct entire scenes, achieving better registration accuracy and reduced inter-object penetration compared to prior work. The dataset, benchmark, code, and pretrained models will be publicly released on the project website.

RYOPO: Bringing End-to-End Category-Level Object Pose Estimation into Real Time

RYOPO is an end‑to‑end query‑based RGB‑D set predictor that jointly detects, segments, and estimates 9‑DoF poses of unseen instances within known categories without relying on external instance segmentation or CAD priors. It uses shared image and scene encoding, a query‑conditioned geometry pathway, and object‑centric refinement with pose‑conditioned cross‑attention to achieve accurate pose estimation. On benchmark datasets such as NOCS, REAL275, and HouseCat6D, RYOPO outperforms published methods and runs in real time at 31.8 FPS on an RTX A6000.

Reconstructing Humans and Objects in Interaction using Large Reconstruction Models

The paper introduces MILO, a framework that uses Large Reconstruction Models (LRMs) to reconstruct detailed 3D human‑object interactions from a single image. By treating the LRM mesh as a geometric scaffold, MILO segments it into human and object parts, fits a parametric body model to the human component, and optionally aligns an object template to the object component. The approach achieves higher reconstruction accuracy than existing baselines across multiple benchmarks and interaction scenarios.

HORIA: 4D Human and Object Reconstruction from a Monocular Video with Interaction-Aware Re-Rendering

HORIA presents a method for jointly reconstructing a human and an object in 4D from a single monocular video. It tackles two main challenges—complex, multi‑phase interaction semantics and occlusion‑induced incomplete views—by first segmenting the video into temporally grounded, motion‑aware interaction phases with text captions, then using these captions to guide an interaction‑aware re‑rendering that refines the reconstruction with novel‑view supervision from a text‑to‑video diffusion prior. The resulting framework delivers temporally coherent, accurate 4D reconstructions across diverse interaction scenarios, outperforming existing approaches.

IGGT4D: Streaming 4D Instance-Grounded Geometry Transformer

Real-world spatial intelligence requires agents to understand scenes from continuous video streams, where objects move, persist, disappear, and reappear over time. While recent spatial foundation models have enabled generalizable feed-forward 3D reconstruction, most streaming methods remain geometry-centric and lack temporally consistent object-level understanding.
