arXiv:2604. 27975v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Traditional Shot Boundary Detection (SBD) inherently struggles with complex transitions by formulating the task around isolated cut points, frequently yielding corrupted video shots.
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.
Moving6DPoSe is a multimodal database for monocular 6D pose estimation and segmentation of moving objects, comprising two subsets: real-world recordings (Moving6DPoSe‑R) and synthetic sequences (Moving6DPoSe‑S). It includes 16 scanned objects, 1,702 real and synthetic rosbags, and annotations for semantic segmentation, object detection, and monocular 6D pose estimation. Baseline results show that event-based representations outperform conventional RGB images for moving‑object segmentation, while monocular orientation estimation remains challenging.

The paper introduces CamVLM, a framework that equips large vision‑language models with the ability to actively control camera viewpoints for improved surveillance video understanding. It presents two new datasets: CCTV‑Anomaly, a large‑scale surveillance video collection with detailed captions and event annotations, and CamTrack‑53K, an object‑centric viewpoint trajectory dataset for learning camera actions. Using reinforcement learning, CamVLM learns long‑horizon observation strategies, achieving state‑of‑the‑art performance in both passive and dynamic viewpoint settings.

The paper presents a generative framework that estimates category-level 6D pose and 3D size of objects from a single RGB image, using score-based diffusion models to produce a multi-hypothesis pose distribution. It replaces costly likelihood pruning with a Mean Shift approach to isolate the mode as the final pose estimate, achieving state-of-the-art results on the REAL275 benchmark. The method also decouples detection from pose estimation, enabling robust zero-shot generalisation on the Wild6D dataset and extending naturally to video sequences by propagating the pose distribution over time.
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.
