Track2Art: Motion-Centric Articulated Object Model Recovery from 2D Point Trackers

Track2Art is a motion‑centric framework that recovers articulated object models from RGB‑D interaction videos by lifting 2D point tracks into 3D trajectories. It groups these trajectories into rigid‑part hypotheses and uses learned‑analytic reasoning to infer directed kinematic relations, joint types, and joint geometry. On the PartNet‑Mobility benchmark, it achieves 0.695 Point IoU and 0.410 end‑to‑end J@20 without requiring ground‑truth part counts or test‑time optimization.

TAPVid-MV: A Benchmark for Tracking Any Point in 3D Across Multiple Views

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.

Point2Pose: Occlusion-Recovering 6D Pose Tracking and 3D Reconstruction for Multiple Unknown Objects Via 2D Point Trackers

Point2Pose is a model‑free method for causal 6D pose tracking of multiple rigid objects using monocular RGB‑D video. It starts from sparse image points and employs a 2D point tracker to maintain long‑range correspondences, allowing instant recovery after complete occlusion. The system also incrementally builds an online Truncated Signed Distance Function (TSDF) representation of the tracked objects and introduces a new multi‑object tracking dataset with motion‑capture ground truth.
