Know-Your-Scene (KYS)-SLAM: Hierarchical Semantic-Motion Priors for Feature Matching in Stereo Visual SLAM
Know-Your-Scene (KYS)-SLAM extends ORB‑SLAM3 by replacing binary feature rejection with continuous correspondence modulation based on semantic, panoptic, and motion priors. Each keypoint is augmented with hierarchical compatibility scores that down‑weight features on independently moving objects while preserving static structure, using a training‑free depth‑aware ego‑motion model and self‑calibrating thresholds. Across 21 stereo sequences, KYS‑SLAM achieves a 17.4% ATE RMSE reduction on outdoor KITTI, 27.7% on indoor EuRoC, and significant improvements on dynamic and synthetic datasets without per‑sequence tuning.

Racing in Volume with Flow Ensembles
The paper introduces FastFlowGS, a streaming 4D Gaussian Splatting method that reconstructs fast-moving subjects from a sparse set of external cameras, and Monaco4D, a photorealistic Unreal Engine 5 benchmark featuring Formula 1 sequences with dense ground truth. FastFlowGS combines sparse matches, semi-dense tracks, and dense optical flow using a Kalman-style temporal update, achieving significant performance gains over existing baselines on both CMU-Panoptic and Monaco4D datasets. The benchmark provides varied illumination and viewpoints from trackside, onboard, and drone cameras, enabling evaluation of high-speed outdoor reconstruction.

DAVIO: Dense Monocular-Inertial SLAM with Feed-Forward Initialization and Pose-Conditioned Mapping
DAVIO is a dense monocular‑inertial SLAM system that leverages a single multi‑view depth model (Depth Anything 3) for both initialization and mapping. It starts up quickly by solving a feature‑free linear system from a five‑image window and IMU pre‑integration, then uses a VIO filter whose metric poses condition the depth model during tracking. The system corrects residual scale along viewing rays, preserves metric baselines, and refines the map with a gravity‑preserving sub‑map graph, achieving earlier start‑up, lower localization error, and more accurate dense maps than state‑of‑the‑art feed‑forward mappers on both EuRoC and building‑scale ORI datasets.

DAPEVO: Deep Adaptive Patch Frame-Event Visual Odometry
DAPEVO is a learned visual odometry system that independently estimates image and event correspondences at shared patch locations and fuses their correlation evidence before motion refinement. It maintains image and event descriptors for each tracked patch, using a learned scalar gate to combine modality-specific correlation embeddings for each patch–frame edge, followed by a shared recurrent refinement and bundle‑adjustment update. The method supports event‑only observations and modality‑aware keyframe culling, achieving low trajectory error even when RGB frames are sparse or degraded, outperforming DPVO, RAMP‑VO, and event‑only DEVO on UZH‑FPV and TartanEvent datasets.
