Diagnosing and Dynamically Filtering Occupancy World Models for Active Mapping

The paper investigates how inaccuracies in pretrained occupancy networks affect active mapping robots that select camera viewpoints to reconstruct unknown 3D scenes. By fixing the planner and varying the occupancy representation—ranging from no completion to ground‑truth occupancy—the authors find that correcting false positives or false negatives alone does not reliably improve coverage, highlighting a disconnect between occupancy accuracy and planning performance. They propose a dynamic filtering strategy that retains predictions in unexplored space while suppressing unsupported occupancy based on online observations, which preliminarily shows it can steer viewpoint selection toward reachable surfaces that would otherwise remain unseen.

Matisse: Evidence-Space Reasoning for Active 3D Reconstruction

Matisse is a training‑free framework that combines active 3D reconstruction with keyframe selection by using evidence from a pretrained generative 3D model. It estimates evidential uncertainty via cross‑attention on 3D latent tokens and derives an evidential information gain to guide view acquisition and keyframe selection, reducing redundant observations and supporting multi‑object scenes with occlusion‑aware aggregation. On GSO30, YCB‑V, and Replica, Matisse improves Chamfer distance by 12.7%, 3.8%, and 9.2% respectively, and speeds up end‑to‑end reconstruction by 1.5× compared to the best baseline.
