The paper introduces an on-the-fly homography calibration system for multi-camera tracking that starts from coarse manual homographies and refines them using a centroid-based projection optimization (PO) on live detection metadata. PO continuously aligns ground-plane geometry without adding computational latency, enabling the system to adapt automatically to camera movements or environmental changes. The refined geometry feeds a bird's-eye-view tracker that fuses detections and unifies trajectories across zones while maintaining privacy safety and zero overhead.
Precise multi-camera tracking traditionally relies on rigorous 3D site calibration, yet this requirement is often operationally impossible in large-scale deployments. Privacy regulations frequently pr...

Physical AI Smart Spaces is the first benchmark that offers large‑scale, multi‑class, multi‑camera 3D perception data for indoor smart spaces. It includes over 280 hours of synchronized 1080p footage from nearly 1,800 cameras in warehouses, hospitals, and retail venues, with automatic annotations for identities, 2D and 3D bounding boxes, camera calibration, and depth. The benchmark spans synthetic generation, appearance augmentation, and real‑world Sim2Real evaluation, and introduces a 3D version of Higher Order Tracking Accuracy (HOTA) for evaluating multi‑class 3D box tracking.

GRACE is a camera‑efficient multi‑view pedestrian tracker that reduces the number of required cameras while maintaining high tracking accuracy. It combines volumetric‑guided fusion of homography‑based BEV features with 3D‑lifted features, uses ray conditioning to incorporate each camera’s viewing direction, and employs BEV Track Recovery to continue existing tracks with low‑confidence detections. On the WildTrack dataset, GRACE raises MOTA from 83.54 to 91.07 compared to the baseline TrackTacular.
TAPVid-MV is a new benchmark for tracking any point in 3D across multiple synchronized camera views. It comprises 284 sequences, 1,142 calibrated camera streams, and 109,769 point tracks, covering indoor and outdoor domains and derived from various modalities such as depth, LiDAR, SLAM, and simulation. The dataset is visually verified, and evaluation shows that current multi‑view trackers do not consistently outperform monocular trackers, highlighting geometry recovery as a key bottleneck.

OmniVLoc is a new visual localization system designed for omnidirectional cameras, leveraging a topo‑metric framework to overcome field‑of‑view limitations of traditional methods. It combines state‑of‑the‑art global place recognition with monocular depth estimation, solving a scale‑aware pose graph and applying precise spherical bundle adjustment to recover metric‑level poses. A hierarchical verification mechanism filters erroneous outputs, enhancing robustness, and extensive experiments on public and custom datasets demonstrate its superior accuracy and reliability.

The paper introduces CalfVO, a monocular visual odometry system that operates without camera intrinsics, test‑time optimization, bundle adjustment, or loop closure. Using a transformer, it predicts relative poses with separate rotation and translation confidences over overlapping image windows, then aggregates these predictions via a confidence‑weighted module to produce a single trajectory. CalfVO achieves the highest accuracy among calibration‑free methods across five benchmarks and runs at 53 FPS, outperforming all baselines.
