Cross-view feature matching aims to establish reliable correspondences across images with large viewpoint variations. Over the past decade, the field has evolved from task-specific models toward increasingly unified and generalizable correspondence models, with recent progress further driven by the emergence of vision foundation models (VFMs).

SOCO is a new benchmark for Semantic Object Correspondence that introduces a taxonomy of correspondence types and provides consistent, functionally meaningful keypoint annotations across 100 categories and over 1M correspondence pairs. It also includes keypoint language descriptions, enabling evaluation of large vision‑language models and their fine‑grained part‑level understanding. Experiments show that vision foundation backbones encode strong semantic structure but transfer correspondences poorly across related categories, LVLMs excel at text‑prompted part localization but lag in visual‑reference matching, and correspondence performance predicts dense downstream tasks more strongly than ImageNet classification.
