CrossFit-GS: Out-of-Fold Pose Estimation for COLMAP-Free 3D Gaussian Splatting

Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →

CrossFit-GS is a new framework for pose-free 3D Gaussian Splatting that avoids the need for Structure-from-Motion by directly reconstructing scenes from unposed image sequences. The method partitions the input into interleaved subsets, maintaining two complementary submaps and cross-refining candidate poses against a frozen opposite submap to provide an independent geometric reference. Additional checkerboard validation and spatial coverage safeguards reject unreliable updates, and only verified poses are committed; after refinement, the final global representation is trained from scratch using the fixed refined poses, leading to reduced trajectory drift and improved camera pose estimation and novel-view synthesis across multiple benchmarks.

Reliability-Regulated Trajectory Optimization for Progressive COLMAP-Free 3D Gaussian Splatting

The paper introduces a reliability-regulated trajectory optimization framework for progressive COLMAP‑free 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS). It uses a self‑supervised bidirectional cycle‑consistency mechanism to control camera trajectory estimation through forward motion propagation and retrospective trajectory correction, thereby reducing error compounding without external priors. Experiments on Tanks and Temples and CO3D‑V2 demonstrate improved camera trajectory accuracy and novel‑view rendering quality compared to existing unposed baselines.

PIVOT: A Multi-Trajectory Dataset and Testbed for Pose, Intrinsics, and Novel Viewpoint Evaluation in Real-World 3D Reconstruction

PIVOT is a new multi‑trajectory dataset and evaluation framework that captures real‑world scenes with diverse camera paths, preserving both sensor‑derived measured poses and COLMAP‑optimized poses along with calibrated and optimized intrinsics. It defines three benchmark families—seen vs. unseen trajectory generalization, measured vs. optimized pose sensitivity, and calibrated vs. optimized intrinsics sensitivity—and introduces a directed pose‑space Chamfer distance to assess pose coverage. The first version of PIVOT includes five scenes recorded with a DJI Mini 4 Pro and offers an open processing and Nerfstudio‑based evaluation toolchain, revealing a consistent quality gap between held‑out and unseen trajectories and significant sensitivity to pose source and camera intrinsics.

Think Locally, Refine Globally for Memory-Efficient 3D Reconstruction

LoG-VGGT is a memory‑efficient framework for long‑sequence 3D reconstruction that balances local temporal modeling with global camera consistency. It uses cross‑window attention in a small subset of transformer blocks to propagate information across adjacent temporal windows while keeping memory usage bounded. A global camera consistency refinement module further improves long‑horizon pose stability by enforcing scene‑level constraints through cross‑attention between camera and compact register tokens, leading to better depth accuracy and robust camera pose estimation on multiple benchmarks.
