MeshBind: Point-to-Mesh Binding for Non-Rigid Scene Flow Automatic Annotation

Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →

MeshBind introduces an automatic annotation pipeline that generates per-point scene flow for non‑rigid objects such as pedestrians by reconstructing articulated mesh models from six surround cameras and registering them to LiDAR data. The method employs a local‑frame binding technique that attaches each point to a mesh via a per‑triangle tangent‑normal frame, and a three‑layer flow registration pipeline that compensates ego‑vehicle motion, performs box binding, and applies mesh binding to produce full‑scene flow. MeshBind is implemented in the SF‑Studio tool, and the authors release the SUScape‑Flow Benchmark (SFB), a large‑scale dataset with 41k frames of per‑point non‑rigid pedestrian annotations and a comprehensive evaluation protocol, demonstrating that fine‑tuning on SFB reduces endpoint error by 2‑3× and equalizes non‑rigid and rigid EPE.

TAPVid-MV: A Benchmark for Tracking Any Point in 3D Across Multiple Views

TAPVid-MV is a new benchmark for tracking any point in 3D across multiple synchronized camera views. It comprises 284 sequences, 1,142 calibrated camera streams, and 109,769 point tracks, covering indoor and outdoor domains and derived from various modalities such as depth, LiDAR, SLAM, and simulation. The dataset is visually verified, and evaluation shows that current multi‑view trackers do not consistently outperform monocular trackers, highlighting geometry recovery as a key bottleneck.

XCalib Depth-Guided Geometric Optimization for Dense Thermal-Visible Video Registration

XCalib is an unsupervised dense registration framework that aligns thermal and visible video streams by optimizing virtual pinhole camera parameters and predicted monocular depth, thereby restricting spatial displacements to physically valid projection geometries. It introduces a novel registration paradigm using camera parameterization as an implicit regularizer, a robust Normalized Edges Correlation (NEC) metric for cross‑spectral alignment, and demonstrates superior temporal stability and alignment accuracy on public ADAS datasets compared to unconstrained dense flow baselines.

MoSE3: Learning World-Space SE(3) at Every Pixel

MoSE3 is a feed‑forward model that predicts dense SE(3) motion—full 6‑DoF rigid transforms—at every pixel from monocular RGB video, providing rotation, translation, and grouping information simultaneously. It achieves this by jointly learning 3D point tracks and rigidity embeddings, then differentiably fitting transforms within soft rigid clusters. The authors also release Art‑Kubric, a large synthetic dataset with dense SE(3) and rigidity labels, and demonstrate state‑of‑the‑art performance on both rigid and articulated benchmarks, with strong generalization to real‑world videos.
