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.

The paper introduces DPA-I2P, a depth-guided projective alignment method for image-to-point-cloud registration in autonomous driving. It employs Ray-Conditioned Metric Depth Encoding and Projection-Consistent Vision Lifting to align depth and visual cues geometrically, and uses Cross-Modal Query Pruning to enhance matching stability. Experiments on KITTI and nuScenes show significant reductions in rotation and translation errors compared to existing implicit baselines.

arXiv:2608. 19536v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Learning-based global point cloud registration has achieved remarkable progress, yet its reliance on geometric representations makes existing methods sensitive to variations in point density, scan pattern, viewpoint, and sensor characteristics.

The paper introduces DPA-I2P, a depth‑guided projective alignment method for image‑to‑point‑cloud registration in autonomous driving. It employs Ray‑Conditioned Metric Depth Encoding and Projection‑Consistent Vision Lifting to align depth and visual cues geometrically, and uses Cross‑Modal Query Pruning to filter unreliable matches during refinement. Experiments on KITTI and nuScenes show significant improvements, reducing rotation and translation errors by up to 55.6% compared to existing implicit baselines.
arXiv:2608. 15260v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Maintaining global geometric consistency is a central challenge in long-sequence 3D reconstruction, with scale drift being the most critical failure mode.
