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.

Anchor3R is a streaming 3D reconstruction framework that predicts window-relative poses and local geometry in the current‑frame coordinate system, forming a dense relative‑pose graph for online pose updates and loop‑aware motion averaging. It improves long‑horizon pose accuracy and dense reconstruction quality on indoor, outdoor, driving, and RGB‑D benchmarks, and generalizes from 48‑frame training sequences to streams exceeding 10,000 frames while keeping GPU memory bounded. The method addresses issues of train‑test mismatch, early‑anchor bias, and accumulated drift found in previous streaming models.
