SAM‑V is a geometry‑aware extension of the Segment Anything Model (SAM) that integrates 3D priors from a feed‑forward geometry model (VGGT) into 2D segmentation. It uses a prompt‑fusion mechanism to combine sparse SAM prompts with view‑specific camera tokens and local VGGT features, enabling a mask decoder that attends to both dense 2D and 3D cues. The resulting end‑to‑end system produces consistent multi‑view instance segmentation in a single forward pass, achieving significant gains on the IGGT 3D tracking benchmark without offline mask matching or explicit 3D reconstruction.

Cross-view feature matching aims to establish reliable correspondences across images with large viewpoint variations. Over the past decade, the field has evolved from task-specific models toward increasingly unified and generalizable correspondence models, with recent progress further driven by the emergence of vision foundation models (VFMs).

Classical image correspondence is solved at the level of sparse keypoints or dense pixels, but the systems that consume these matches - object-level mapping, topological navigation, scene-graph maintenance - reason about whole objects. Recent work narrows this gap by matchng directly at the level of instance segments: a class-agnostic segmenter partitions each image, and per-segment descriptors are obtained by pooling features from large 3D foundation models over the masks.
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.

ARC‑Loc introduces a new cross‑view localization method that bypasses heavy Bird’s‑Eye‑View transformations and external depth models. By converting ground keypoints into azimuthal rays on a satellite map and exploiting their convergence at the user’s location, the approach uses a minimal Azimuthal Ray Convergence solver and an ARC loss to directly match ground and satellite images. Experiments on VIGOR and KITTI show that ARC‑Loc achieves competitive accuracy while offering faster, memory‑efficient inference and easy integration with existing frameworks.
