The paper introduces Epipolar Distillation (EpiDistill), a method that transfers scale‑aware geometric priors from multi‑view models to monocular depth foundation models using Rectified Stereo Tokens. By preserving epipolar attention patterns, the single‑view model maintains geometric consistency without needing multi‑view inputs during inference. Experiments show significant improvements in zero‑shot metric depth estimation on challenging datasets such as ETH3D and DIODE, and the approach consistently boosts performance of state‑of‑the‑art ViT‑based models like UniDepthV2 and DepthPro.
Puffin-World is a unified multimodal architecture that integrates physical understanding, spatial simulation, and 3D world generation without external offline modules. It jointly models physics, geometry, and appearance as native world states and uses a unified Omni-Camera representation to support diverse tasks and flexible motions. The framework also propagates physical dynamics across future frames, couples appearance and geometry in a single generative process, and scales to complex scenarios with the Puffin-16M dataset of 15 million vision‑language‑camera triplets and 1 million trajectories.
GaussianDS introduces a depth‑supervised framework for 3D Gaussian Splatting that jointly optimizes RGB appearance, depth, and compact semantics from scratch. By arranging multi‑view images into a pose‑aware pseudo‑video and propagating view‑consistent masks via SAM2, the method aligns semantic lifting with geometric cues, using depth supervision and edge‑aware refinement to curb semantic drift and boundary leakage. The approach achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance on LERF and 3D‑OVS benchmarks while preserving high‑fidelity reconstruction and enabling downstream tasks such as 3D object removal.
Recent advances in image-to-video generation have improved visual realism, making physically grounded and controllable dynamics an important step toward future world simulation. Current models often generate plausible motion, but it is not reliably governed by explicit physical causes, and instance-level constraints can leak or become entangled in multi-object interactions.
arXiv:2605. 22069v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Novel view synthesis from sparse-view inputs poses a significant challenge in 3D computer vision, particularly for achieving high-quality scene reconstructions with limited viewpoints.
TourPhysics is an online framework that builds physics‑grounded visual world models from a single image and a declarative physical configuration. It integrates deterministic simulation with video generation, separating simulator state, geometric evidence, generator controls, and appearance memory to produce consistent observations for exploration and manipulation. The system preserves the input scene, follows prescribed camera and object trajectories more closely than baselines, and reduces appearance drift during long‑horizon revisits.
