Foundation4D: Towards a unified perception and reconstruction model for autonomous vehicles

Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →

Foundation4D is a unified feed‑forward model that performs geometry estimation, 3D detection, semantic occupancy, and Gaussian reconstruction from multi‑camera driving video. It uses a shared backbone with factorized spatiotemporal attention to merge observations across cameras and time, and a video inference pipeline that refines camera trajectories via pose graph optimization and assembles object tracks. The authors also provide a data annotation pipeline and release the PAI‑Foundation4D benchmark, achieving state‑of‑the‑art results on depth, detection, and occupancy metrics and demonstrating that co‑training detection with geometry and occupancy improves performance.

TAPVid-MV: A Benchmark for Tracking Any Point in 3D Across Multiple Views

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.

Object Concepts Emerge from Motion

The paper introduces a biologically inspired framework that learns object‑centric visual representations from raw videos without human annotations or camera calibration. By using motion boundaries detected via optical flow and clustering to create pseudo‑instance masks, the method supervises a single‑image encoder with pixel‑level pairwise metric learning. Training on 195 million pseudo‑labeled frames and expanding to 421 million frames through Motion‑Verified Self‑Training, the approach yields Swin‑based encoders that outperform or match supervised and self‑supervised baselines on tasks such as monocular depth estimation, 3D object detection, 3D occupancy prediction, and end‑to‑end planning.

PURE: Refining Feed-forward 3D Reconstruction with Unlabeled Post-training

PURE is an unlabeled post‑training refinement framework that enhances feed‑forward 3D reconstruction models by improving depth and camera estimation without ground‑truth supervision. It distills structural knowledge from state‑of‑the‑art 2D priors into 4D architectures, using relative depth constraints, affine‑invariant geometry distillation, and pose refinement via feature correspondences. Experiments on synthetic and real‑world dynamic benchmarks show consistent improvements across multiple state‑of‑the‑art models, effectively mitigating domain shifts and unlocking their architectural limits in challenging in‑the‑wild scenes.
