The paper introduces Poincar3, a self‑supervised method that learns multi‑view representations through self‑distillation rather than RGB reconstruction. By combining masked patch and image‑level distillation with a teacher that sees additional views, it trains from scratch without explicit 3D supervision. Poincar3 surpasses prior single‑ and multi‑view self‑supervised methods on tasks such as correspondence estimation, camera pose estimation, and 3D reconstruction, and its features encode camera motion more accurately thanks to a lightweight Poincaré adapter.

LVSPM is a generalizable model that jointly estimates camera poses and synthesizes novel views from uncalibrated image collections. It is trained only with RGB images and pose supervision, avoiding dense 3D ground truth, and uses test‑time training layers to scale to hundreds of input views. On datasets such as RealEstate10k, Co3Dv2, and DL3DV, LVSPM outperforms VGGT in pose estimation across 16–256 views and achieves state‑of‑the‑art pose‑free novel view synthesis quality, maintaining high performance even as scene scale increases.
The paper addresses the lack of standardized evaluation for single‑view novel view synthesis by highlighting the importance of aligning a method’s reference frame with the ground‑truth camera pose. It proposes using traditional 2D‑to‑2D and 2D‑to‑3D image matching to align 3D reconstructions and restricts evaluation to co‑visible regions where a correct ground truth exists. Experiments show that with proper alignment, 3D Gaussian‑based methods reach state‑of‑the‑art performance, and a simple baseline using a video generator and geometry estimator matches specialized novel‑view synthesis models without task‑specific training.
