GRACE: Geometry- and Ray-Aware Camera-Efficient Multi-View Pedestrian Tracking
GRACE is a camera‑efficient multi‑view pedestrian tracker that reduces the number of required cameras while maintaining high tracking accuracy. It combines volumetric‑guided fusion of homography‑based BEV features with 3D‑lifted features, uses ray conditioning to incorporate each camera’s viewing direction, and employs BEV Track Recovery to continue existing tracks with low‑confidence detections. On the WildTrack dataset, GRACE raises MOTA from 83.54 to 91.07 compared to the baseline TrackTacular.

Physical AI Smart Spaces: A Large-Scale Benchmark for Multi-Camera 3D Perception in Smart Spaces
Physical AI Smart Spaces is the first benchmark that offers large‑scale, multi‑class, multi‑camera 3D perception data for indoor smart spaces. It includes over 280 hours of synchronized 1080p footage from nearly 1,800 cameras in warehouses, hospitals, and retail venues, with automatic annotations for identities, 2D and 3D bounding boxes, camera calibration, and depth. The benchmark spans synthetic generation, appearance augmentation, and real‑world Sim2Real evaluation, and introduces a 3D version of Higher Order Tracking Accuracy (HOTA) for evaluating multi‑class 3D box tracking.

Video Individual Counting and Tracking from Moving Drones: A Benchmark and Methods
The paper introduces MovingDroneCrowd++, a large-scale video dataset for dense crowd counting and tracking from moving drones, featuring varied flight altitudes, camera angles, and lighting. It presents two new methods: GD3A for Video Individual Counting and GIA-Track for Multi-Object Tracking, both leveraging group-wise density assignment and identity association to handle aerial challenges. Experiments demonstrate significant improvements, reducing counting error by 47.4% and boosting tracking accuracy by 64.6%.

Segmentation-Guided Homography Estimation for Long-Term Planar Tracking
The paper introduces SAM‑H, a planar object tracker that estimates 8‑degree‑of‑freedom homographies directly from segmentation mask contours using a training‑free pipeline. When applied to masks from SAM 2, SAM‑H achieves a new state‑of‑the‑art performance on the PlanarTrack benchmark, improving the p@5 metric by 18.4 percentage points. The authors also demonstrate that combining segmentation‑based and correspondence‑based homography estimation yields WOFTSAM, which surpasses all previous methods on both PlanarTrack and POT‑210, and provide precise re‑annotations of PlanarTrack initial poses for more accurate benchmarking.

Monocular Visual Odometry without Calibration or Test-time Optimization
The paper introduces CalfVO, a monocular visual odometry system that operates without camera intrinsics, test‑time optimization, bundle adjustment, or loop closure. Using a transformer, it predicts relative poses with separate rotation and translation confidences over overlapping image windows, then aggregates these predictions via a confidence‑weighted module to produce a single trajectory. CalfVO achieves the highest accuracy among calibration‑free methods across five benchmarks and runs at 53 FPS, outperforming all baselines.
