GeoFF3D is a new feed‑forward 3D reconstruction method designed for large‑scale UAV mapping. It uses a coordinate‑anchored model that predicts camera poses and dense point maps directly in a gravity‑aligned Z‑up metric frame, while a spatial large‑scale reconstruction framework (SLRF) partitions images into overlapping chunks, propagates shared‑view priors, and aggregates local reconstructions hierarchically. Across nine aerial mapping blocks, GeoFF3D achieves the best average reconstruction quality, improving F@5 from 0.829 to 0.877, and can reconstruct 2,000 images in about five minutes.

GeoPano is a feed‑forward framework that reconstructs geometrically accurate 3D point clouds from a single panoramic image. It introduces a panoramic‑aware attention aggregator with a novel Pano‑Attention mechanism to exploit spherical geometry and reduce cross‑view inconsistencies. A hybrid supervision strategy enforces both fine‑grained local detail in perspective views and global structural coherence in spherical space, leading to superior reconstruction accuracy, consistency, and visual fidelity compared to prior state‑of‑the‑art methods.

Metric feed-forward 3D reconstruction for panoramic data remains under-explored due to the lack of large-scale panoramic RGB-D training data. We present Realsee3D, a hybrid dataset of 10K indoor scenes (1K real, 9K synthetic) with 299K panoramic viewpoints and precise metric annotations, and Argus, a feed-forward network trained on it for metric panoramic 3D reconstruction.
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 GRF-Recon, a framework for stable and scalable feed-forward 3D reconstruction from long monocular image sequences. It combines coarse-to-fine trajectory alignment, lightweight geometric prior injection via LoRA adaptation, and a hybrid-weight sparse ray-field optimization to refine local point clouds while enforcing cross-frame consistency. An efficient trajectory stitching strategy with joint ray-error optimization further reduces accumulated drift, achieving competitive trajectory accuracy compared to SLAM systems while maintaining globally consistent reconstructions in large-scale scenarios.

DAVIO is a dense monocular‑inertial SLAM system that leverages a single multi‑view depth model (Depth Anything 3) for both initialization and mapping. It starts up quickly by solving a feature‑free linear system from a five‑image window and IMU pre‑integration, then uses a VIO filter whose metric poses condition the depth model during tracking. The system corrects residual scale along viewing rays, preserves metric baselines, and refines the map with a gravity‑preserving sub‑map graph, achieving earlier start‑up, lower localization error, and more accurate dense maps than state‑of‑the‑art feed‑forward mappers on both EuRoC and building‑scale ORI datasets.
