VideoReloc: Long-Term Indoor Video Relocalization against a Kilobyte-Scale Semantic Scene Graph

VideoReloc presents a method for long‑term indoor video relocalization that relies on a compact semantic scene graph rather than visual appearance. By adaptively selecting clip lengths based on odometry and object‑motion criteria, the system gathers spatial evidence, verifies poses through object triplets, and refines orientation using box faces and gravity cues. This approach achieves high localization accuracy with a tiny 100 kB map, outperforming traditional appearance‑based methods on RIO10 and ReplicaCAD datasets.

GeoFlip: Benchmarking Geometry-Sensitive Physics in Video Generation

GeoFlip is a new benchmark for video generation models that tests their ability to produce physically correct outcomes when the initial geometry of a scene is altered. The benchmark presents 482 pairs of scenes with controlled changes in extent, placement, and mechanism configuration, and evaluates models on event correctness, structural integrity, and similarity to reference videos. Across 16 evaluated models, the best event correctness averaged only 27.98%, highlighting significant gaps in geometry‑sensitive physical reasoning.

OmniAct3D: Leveraging Foundation Geometry and Evidence-Grounded Reasoning for Panoramic 3D Detection

OmniAct3D is a framework that adapts Vision Foundation Model (VFM) detectors trained on perspective images to equirectangular projection (ERP) panoramic images for 3D detection. It introduces the ERP-Ray Geometry Adapter (ERGA-Ray) to model spherical rays, the Visual-Action Reasoning Chain (VARC) to ground hypotheses in panoramic evidence, and the Appearance-Guided Heading Expert (AGHE) to recover high‑resolution heading cues. The method achieves a 2.96 NDS improvement on Spheriverse and a 24.87 mAP gain on PanoMMOcc, while preserving most of the baseline’s performance across configurations.
