Visual Geometry Grounded Transformer (VGGT) recovers dense 3D scene structure from multi-view images in one forward pass, but quadratic cross-frame attention limits its scalability. Existing training-free accelerators reduce computation uniformly along one axis, missing layer heterogeneity.
arXiv:2607. 03612v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Feed-forward 3D reconstruction (F3R) transformers have recently achieved remarkable success.
Feed-forward models for 3D reconstruction have achieved strong performance using deep cross-view attention to exchange information across images. However, these approaches often depend on heavy decoder stacks and lack a structured mechanism for geometry refinement, resulting in poor multi-view consistency.
arXiv:2512. 16919v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Perceiving and reconstructing 3D scene geometry from visual inputs is crucial for autonomous driving.
arXiv:2604. 05182v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We introduce the Large Sparse Reconstruction Model to study how scaling transformer context windows affects feed-forward 3D reconstruction.
arXiv:2606. 01503v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Unified vision-language models (VLMs) integrate visual understanding and visual generation within a single autoregressive backbone, but their joint training is computationally expensive and largely overlooked from an efficiency perspective.
arXiv:2606. 31585v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The remarkable scalability of Transformers has expanded their application to 3D computer vision, where camera-aware positional encoding is crucial for providing spatial cues in multi-view geometry.
Local feature matching is a fundamental component of photogrammetry, enabling accurate image correspondence critical for tasks such as 3D reconstruction, stereo mapping, and visual localization. While recent detector-free matching methods, like LoFTR, have advanced the field, the global features obtained by leveraging the global-range modeling capacity of the unconstrained attention mechanism compromise the model's attention to the salient structures in certain scenarios.
arXiv:2608. 09369v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Visual object tracking requires effective temporal integration, yet most Transformer trackers still rely on predominantly feed-forward feature extraction.
Geometry transformers such as VGGT achieve strong performance by jointly reasoning over multiple views with global attention. However, scaling them to large view collections remains challenging due to the quadratic cost of attention.
arXiv:2608. 16984v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent monocular depth estimators achieve strong zero-shot generalization, yet often struggle to preserve fine-grained structures and object boundaries.
Monocular relative pose sensing is a central perception problem in non-cooperative rendezvous and on-orbit servicing. In spacecraft images, however, weak surface texture, thin appendages, illumination changes, and partial occlusion often leave only sparse and unstable geometric evidence.
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.
