Artic-O: End-to-End Articulated Object Reconstruction via Latent Geometry Learning

Artic-O is an end‑to‑end, feed‑forward framework that reconstructs articulated objects from sparse images by learning latent geometry. It maps multi‑state observations into a pretrained latent geometry space, uses a frozen flow‑matching decoder for complete‑shape priors, and fuses visual tokens with geometry latents in an image‑grounded part‑reasoning module to segment active parts and predict articulation. Trained with a geometry‑to‑articulation curriculum and a decoupled two‑pass strategy, Artic‑O achieves high reconstruction quality and articulation accuracy while drastically reducing inference time from 9 minutes to about 0.3 seconds per object.

PWM-ArtGen: Part World Model for Articulated Object Generation

The key challenge in articulated 3D object generation from a single image is accurately predicting the underlying kinematic structure. Existing methods either infer kinematic parameters directly from a static image that lacks dynamic part-level kinematic relationships, or estimate parameters from visual dynamics generated from a single image, which is prone to accumulated errors of two steps.

SceneReGen: Generative Reconstruction of 3D Scenes from a Single Image

SceneReGen is a new framework for reconstructing 3D scenes from a single image by generating and assembling complete object meshes within a shared observation‑aligned scene frame. It uses selective pose factorization to encode each object’s observed orientation directly into the generated mesh, while estimating translation and scale from instance‑level and global scene cues. Evaluated on the 3D‑FUTURE dataset, SceneReGen outperforms existing methods on scene‑level metrics and shows strong performance on object‑level metrics, demonstrating its effectiveness in autonomous‑driving and embodied‑AI scenarios.

PriorPose: Reference-Guided Joint Deformation and Alignment for Category-Level Object Pose Estimation

PriorPose introduces a reference-guided correspondence framework for category-level object pose estimation that jointly performs canonicalization and alignment in a shared feature space. By embedding partial observations and a category prior as token sets in a seeded transformer, the network predicts per-point NOCS fields and a canonical deformation, while a deep pose head regresses the similarity transform. A two-part shape consistency objective couples correspondence, deformation, and pose, reducing reliance on memorized canonical orientations and avoiding error cascades, leading to state-of-the-art results on standard and larger-category benchmarks, especially under strict pose thresholds.

Object Concepts Emerge from Motion

The paper introduces a biologically inspired framework that learns object‑centric visual representations from raw videos without human annotations or camera calibration. By using motion boundaries detected via optical flow and clustering to create pseudo‑instance masks, the method supervises a single‑image encoder with pixel‑level pairwise metric learning. Training on 195 million pseudo‑labeled frames and expanding to 421 million frames through Motion‑Verified Self‑Training, the approach yields Swin‑based encoders that outperform or match supervised and self‑supervised baselines on tasks such as monocular depth estimation, 3D object detection, 3D occupancy prediction, and end‑to‑end planning.
