Georeferenced Cross-View 3D Reconstruction from Ground and Satellite Images

Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →

The paper introduces X‑VGGT, a feed‑forward cross‑view geometry transformer that jointly processes ground‑level images and a georeferenced satellite image to predict ground‑view camera poses, dense 3D point maps, and a scene‑level transform (gravity, scale, yaw, translation). This transform projects the local reconstruction into the satellite plane, achieving geo‑registration of all ground images with the satellite image. The authors also propose an evaluation protocol and demonstrate that X‑VGGT outperforms prior cross‑view geo‑localization and multi‑view 3D reconstruction models across multiple datasets.

Revisiting Multi-View Stereo: A Sequence-to-Sequence Formulation

The paper proposes a new sequence-to-sequence formulation for multi-view stereo (MVS) that jointly predicts 3D geometry for all input views using a global transformer architecture. It introduces ray‑map embeddings to inject camera parameters into image tokens and a unified global cost volume to capture 3D structure across all views. Experiments on public benchmarks demonstrate state‑of‑the‑art performance, outperforming both traditional MVS and feed‑forward reconstruction baselines.
