RoGe is a new end‑to‑end framework for novel view synthesis that jointly learns an implicit 3D scene representation and a video diffusion model. It eliminates the need for explicit 3D intermediates by querying the implicit scene with camera rays to produce geometric features that condition the diffusion model. Experiments on DL3DV show that RoGe surpasses reconstruction‑based, generation‑based, and hybrid baselines in image quality and temporal consistency, and ablations confirm the benefits of ray‑queried features and joint training.

The paper proposes a new sequence-to-sequence formulation for multi-view stereo (MVS) that jointly predicts 3D geometry for all input views using a global transformer architecture. It introduces ray‑map embeddings to inject camera parameters into image tokens and a unified global cost volume to capture 3D structure across all views. Experiments on public benchmarks demonstrate state‑of‑the‑art performance, outperforming both traditional MVS and feed‑forward reconstruction baselines.

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.

The paper introduces G-ray, a ray-level relative position encoding for multi-view vision Transformers that remains consistent across different camera projections. By parameterizing rotary phases with camera-local ray angles, G-ray achieves projection-invariant positional consistency and can be integrated with existing encodings without extra learned parameters. Experiments on 3D reconstruction and novel-view synthesis benchmarks show that G-ray improves performance, notably reducing mean pointmap relative error by 45.8% over MapAnything.

The paper introduces Distortion Extenders (DEX), learnable parameters that adapt vision foundation models to fisheye cameras by modeling distortion coefficients and correcting distributional shifts between fisheye and perspective images. DEX is applied to monocular depth estimation and open‑vocabulary segmentation across convolutional and Transformer architectures, consistently outperforming baselines on indoor and outdoor fisheye datasets. Additionally, DEX activations can be decoded to obtain distortion coefficients, aiding camera calibration.
