Cross-View Feature Matching: Survey, Benchmarking, and Foundation-Model Perspectives

Cross-view feature matching aims to establish reliable correspondences across images with large viewpoint variations. Over the past decade, the field has evolved from task-specific models toward increasingly unified and generalizable correspondence models, with recent progress further driven by the emergence of vision foundation models (VFMs).

SOCO: Benchmarking Semantic Object Correspondence in Vision Foundation Models

SOCO is a new benchmark for Semantic Object Correspondence that introduces a taxonomy of correspondence types and provides consistent, functionally meaningful keypoint annotations across 100 categories and over 1M correspondence pairs. It also includes keypoint language descriptions, enabling evaluation of large vision‑language models and their fine‑grained part‑level understanding. Experiments show that vision foundation backbones encode strong semantic structure but transfer correspondences poorly across related categories, LVLMs excel at text‑prompted part localization but lag in visual‑reference matching, and correspondence performance predicts dense downstream tasks more strongly than ImageNet classification.

WildHSR: Metric Feed-Forward 4D People-Scene Reconstruction from a 3D Foundation Model

WildHSR introduces a lightweight adaptation of 3D foundation models to jointly recover metric cameras, scene geometry, and persistent person identities from monocular video. By generating pseudo‑scale labels from curated web footage and fine‑tuning a Scale Readout, the method predicts metric scale directly from foundation‑model tokens. It also exploits intermediate query‑key features to associate per‑frame bodies, enabling feed‑forward reconstruction that outperforms state‑of‑the‑art optimization‑based methods on several benchmarks while running at 10.1 fps.

Evaluating the Interpretability of Sparse Autoencoders with Concept Annotations

arXiv:2606. 24716v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Sparse autoencoders (SAEs) are increasingly used to extract interpretable concepts from vision and vision language models, yet existing evaluation methods largely rely on proxy metrics or qualitative inspection rather than measuring semantic correspondence.
