GRF-Recon: Global Ray-Field Optimization for Long-Sequence Feed-forward Reconstruction

Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →

The paper introduces GRF-Recon, a framework for stable and scalable feed-forward 3D reconstruction from long monocular image sequences. It combines coarse-to-fine trajectory alignment, lightweight geometric prior injection via LoRA adaptation, and a hybrid-weight sparse ray-field optimization to refine local point clouds while enforcing cross-frame consistency. An efficient trajectory stitching strategy with joint ray-error optimization further reduces accumulated drift, achieving competitive trajectory accuracy compared to SLAM systems while maintaining globally consistent reconstructions in large-scale scenarios.

GeoFF3D: Coordinate-Anchored Feed-Forward Reconstruction for Large-Scale UAV Mapping

GeoFF3D is a new feed‑forward 3D reconstruction method designed for large‑scale UAV mapping. It uses a coordinate‑anchored model that predicts camera poses and dense point maps directly in a gravity‑aligned Z‑up metric frame, while a spatial large‑scale reconstruction framework (SLRF) partitions images into overlapping chunks, propagates shared‑view priors, and aggregates local reconstructions hierarchically. Across nine aerial mapping blocks, GeoFF3D achieves the best average reconstruction quality, improving F@5 from 0.829 to 0.877, and can reconstruct 2,000 images in about five minutes.

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.

BLASt3R: Bundle Adjustment of Any Image Set with Multi-View Matching and Monocular Priors

BLASt3R presents a regularized bundle adjustment framework that combines a fast multi‑view matcher with monocular priors for initialization and regularization. The method unifies online Visual SLAM and offline reconstruction from unordered image collections, using a single optimization pipeline and shared hyperparameters. Experiments show that BLASt3R improves performance and speed tradeoffs compared to traditional, feed‑forward, and hybrid baselines, and its uncalibrated VSLAM variant surpasses all previous calibrated approaches.
