SUFLECA: Scaling Up Feature Learning for CAD-to-image Alignment

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.

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.

Scal3R: Learning Efficient Multi-Relative Pose Query for Scalable Online 3D Reconstruction

Scal3R is a new method for online 3D reconstruction that addresses the failure of traditional models on long videos by decoupling per‑frame depth from global pose estimation. It reformulates reconstruction as a multi‑reference relative pose query, using lightweight learnable tokens (~1% of parameters) injected into a frozen backbone via asymmetric attention to query poses relative to multiple past keyframes. An online pose‑graph optimization with loop closure further suppresses drift, achieving convergence in 8 hours on a single GPU and reducing average absolute trajectory error by over 60% on KITTI while setting state‑of‑the‑art results on several benchmark datasets.

Point2Pose: Occlusion-Recovering 6D Pose Tracking and 3D Reconstruction for Multiple Unknown Objects Via 2D Point Trackers

Point2Pose is a model‑free method for causal 6D pose tracking of multiple rigid objects using monocular RGB‑D video. It starts from sparse image points and employs a 2D point tracker to maintain long‑range correspondences, allowing instant recovery after complete occlusion. The system also incrementally builds an online Truncated Signed Distance Function (TSDF) representation of the tracked objects and introduces a new multi‑object tracking dataset with motion‑capture ground truth.
