The paper introduces a unified bundle adjustment framework that jointly optimizes camera parameters, sparse 3D points, and richer geometric features such as lines, coplanarity, and parallelism. It classifies features into scalable ones with direct 2D measurements and higher‑order groups that can be treated as camera‑like entities, allowing group constraints and cross‑feature relations to be expressed via 2D reprojection errors. This approach preserves the sparsity of classical point‑based BA, maintains numerical stability, and achieves runtime comparable to point‑only BA while producing richer 3D structures and improved accuracy.

PriorPose introduces a reference-guided correspondence framework for category-level object pose estimation that jointly performs canonicalization and alignment in a shared feature space. By embedding partial observations and a category prior as token sets in a seeded transformer, the network predicts per-point NOCS fields and a canonical deformation, while a deep pose head regresses the similarity transform. A two-part shape consistency objective couples correspondence, deformation, and pose, reducing reliance on memorized canonical orientations and avoiding error cascades, leading to state-of-the-art results on standard and larger-category benchmarks, especially under strict pose thresholds.
