Image Generators are Generalist Vision Learners

arXiv:2604. 20329v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Recent works show that image and video generators exhibit zero-shot visual understanding behaviors, in a way reminiscent of how LLMs develop emergent capabilities of language understanding and reasoning from generative pretraining.

Artic-O: End-to-End Articulated Object Reconstruction via Latent Geometry Learning

Artic-O is an end‑to‑end, feed‑forward framework that reconstructs articulated objects from sparse images by learning latent geometry. It maps multi‑state observations into a pretrained latent geometry space, uses a frozen flow‑matching decoder for complete‑shape priors, and fuses visual tokens with geometry latents in an image‑grounded part‑reasoning module to segment active parts and predict articulation. Trained with a geometry‑to‑articulation curriculum and a decoupled two‑pass strategy, Artic‑O achieves high reconstruction quality and articulation accuracy while drastically reducing inference time from 9 minutes to about 0.3 seconds per object.
