STATERA is a method that adapts a pretrained video backbone with mostly frozen weights and a lightweight temporal tubelet mixer to estimate the center-of-mass (CoM) of opaque, asymmetric rigid bodies from short monocular videos. It introduces the HiddenMass Benchmark, consisting of 50K simulated MuJoCo trajectories and a 63-sequence real-world test set with calibrated CoM ground truth. In simulation, STATERA reduces normalized CoM error from 41.7% to 25.2%, and in zero-shot sim-to-real transfer, its phase‑aware variant consistently predicts movement toward the true hidden offset, improving physics capture from 2.6% to 41.0%.

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.

The paper introduces EgoGenEval, a new benchmark that assesses the physical consistency of visual generators under ego‑motion by measuring Camera Motion Grounding and Scene State Preservation across 1,400 cases and 2,360 target views. Experiments on 16 pose‑free generators and two pose‑conditioned references show that current models struggle to maintain both camera motion and scene state simultaneously. A follow‑up study using EgoGen‑Train demonstrates that pairwise supervision does not effectively improve both metrics together, suggesting the need for a trajectory‑centric training paradigm.
