SUFLECA is a weakly supervised framework that improves zero‑shot CAD‑to‑image alignment by scaling geometry‑grounded feature learning using Normalized Object Coordinates across up to 12 real and synthetic datasets. It introduces a geometrically consistent matching algorithm that reliably establishes CAD‑to‑image correspondences, enabling accurate, sub‑second alignment without iterative pose refinement. On the ScanNet25k benchmark, SUFLECA achieves 32.8%/42.6% category/instance accuracy, outperforming the strongest zero‑shot baseline by 9.7/12.5 percentage points and surpassing existing pose‑supervised methods for the first time.

GenIA is a framework that aligns generative 3D foundation models with test‑time observations, improving pose estimation and reconstruction from monocular, multi‑view, and dynamic inputs. It derives translation and scale from geometry, retains learned rotation priors, and aligns appearance using visibility‑biased attention, cross‑observation fusion, and differentiable rendering guidance during denoising. An optional post‑denoising refinement further adapts appearance latents and object placement, and the method also supports externally supplied geometry for dynamic objects, achieving better results than recent optimization‑based and image‑to‑3D methods on synthetic and real benchmarks.

The paper introduces PointVGGT, a zero‑shot framework for multiview RGB‑D point cloud registration that replaces the traditional pairwise‑then‑global pipeline. It employs a foundation‑then‑refinement paradigm, using visual geometry foundation models to directly recover metrically consistent global poses and then refining them with voxelized spatial hashing and IRLS‑based bundle adjustment. Experiments on indoor, object‑centric, and outdoor datasets demonstrate superior registration accuracy and computational efficiency without any training.
Monocular depth estimation is a fundamental prerequisite for 3D reconstruction and autonomous navigation in Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). In practical deployments, UAVs operate under highly dynamic camera poses characterized by continuous variations in height, pitch, roll, and field of view (FOV).
The paper explores a synthetic-first training approach for detecting drones in medium- and long-wave infrared imagery, combining synthetic scene generation with fine-tuning on real data. It demonstrates that synthetic data can establish initial object representations, but real infrared data is crucial to close domain gaps and improve reliability. The study finds that aligning datasets has a greater impact on performance than increasing model size, and that semantic alignment in feature space is the strongest predictor of success, with radiometric factors like entropy and dynamic range also contributing.
