Gen4P is a unified framework that transforms a pretrained video generator into a feed‑forward 4D perceiver, enabling recovery of 4D geometry and motion from monocular video without iterative denoising. It processes clean video latents in a single encoder pass and uses a lightweight cross‑attention decoder to predict requested 4D attributes, supporting flexible spatial sampling and continuous‑time queries for temporal flexibility. By incorporating a frozen pretrained video‑depth LoRA as a geometry prior, Gen4P improves performance on 3D point tracking, video depth, and camera pose estimation, achieving state‑of‑the‑art or competitive results on these tasks and demonstrating robust tracking of complex motion in in‑the‑wild videos.
Dream4D is a new framework for generating spatiotemporally coherent 4D content. It uses a two‑stage pipeline: first, few‑shot learning predicts optimal camera trajectories from a single image; second, a pose‑conditioned diffusion process creates geometrically consistent multi‑view sequences that are converted into a persistent 4D representation. The method uniquely combines rich temporal priors from video diffusion models with geometric awareness from reconstruction models, achieving higher quality metrics such as mPSNR and mSSIM compared to existing approaches.

The paper introduces 4DStreamCtrl, a system that unifies camera motion, object trajectories, and depth into a single 3D point‑track representation, enabling joint control, depth editing, and motion transfer in a single forward pass. By mining in‑the‑wild video for 3D motion supervision and encoding it with a lightweight Geometric Motion Head, the authors train a causal streaming student that can generate arbitrarily long videos in just four denoising steps, achieving 20 FPS on a single high‑end GPU for 480p video. This approach outperforms prior camera‑only, 2D, and offline‑3D methods in motion‑control precision while maintaining temporal coherence over hundreds of frames, thereby enabling interactive 4D‑controllable streaming generation for the first time.

Synthesizing a novel-view video from a monocular reference video along a target camera trajectory requires both geometric consistency and motion fidelity with respect to the reference video. Existing methods based on explicit 3D representations are limited by the accuracy of off-the-shelf reconstruction modules, which often produce inaccurate geometry for dynamic objects in monocular videos.
