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.

HoloRecon proposes a panoramic reconstruction framework that merges ORB-based sparse mapping with a fine-tuned feed-forward model to achieve accurate localization and globally consistent dense mapping over long sequences. By using predicted local geometry for 3D verification of feature matches, the method establishes long-range camera constraints even between distant revisits, calibrates depths with sparse landmarks, and optimizes a global pose graph. The authors also introduce PanoRecon, a seven-scene benchmark for evaluating global consistency, and report that HoloRecon achieves the lowest mean absolute trajectory error and high F‑1 Score among evaluated methods.

OmniShowcase introduces a method for generating omnidirectional videos of a specific subject from a handful of multi‑view images. It combines an automated data‑synthesis pipeline that creates training videos with diverse camera trajectories driven by the subject’s geometry, and a geometry‑conditioning technique that supplies the model with surface‑normal maps reconstructed from the reference views. The authors release Showcase‑4K, a large corpus of 3D‑asset‑based videos with 12 camera motions and 88 trajectory configurations, and ShowcaseBench, a held‑out evaluation set with source meshes and camera parameters.

HiP3R introduces a hierarchical pose graph approach for long‑horizon 3D reconstruction, addressing the trade‑off between chunk‑level and frame‑level optimization. It first builds a robust chunk‑level Sim(3) graph to set the global layout and scale, then fixes this layout while estimating a single SE(3) camera pose per frame to merge overlapping predictions into a unified trajectory. Experiments on multiple benchmarks show that HiP3R improves camera trajectories and 3D reconstruction quality for both chunk‑based and streaming backends without extra training.

Anchor3R is a streaming 3D reconstruction framework that predicts window-relative poses and local geometry in the current‑frame coordinate system, forming a dense relative‑pose graph for online pose updates and loop‑aware motion averaging. It improves long‑horizon pose accuracy and dense reconstruction quality on indoor, outdoor, driving, and RGB‑D benchmarks, and generalizes from 48‑frame training sequences to streams exceeding 10,000 frames while keeping GPU memory bounded. The method addresses issues of train‑test mismatch, early‑anchor bias, and accumulated drift found in previous streaming models.

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.

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.

The paper proposes a new sequence-to-sequence formulation for multi-view stereo (MVS) that jointly predicts 3D geometry for all input views using a global transformer architecture. It introduces ray‑map embeddings to inject camera parameters into image tokens and a unified global cost volume to capture 3D structure across all views. Experiments on public benchmarks demonstrate state‑of‑the‑art performance, outperforming both traditional MVS and feed‑forward reconstruction baselines.
