PhysVGGT: Feed-Forward Dense Physical Property Estimation from A Single Image

Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →

PhysVGGT is a feed‑forward model that predicts dense maps of friction coefficient, Shore hardness, Young's modulus, and density, along with object‑level mass, from a single RGB image in one forward pass. It treats physical property estimation as a dense per‑pixel prediction problem, using a visual geometry transformer to extract geometry‑aware tokens and separate dense and global prediction branches. A scalable pseudo‑label generation pipeline enables large‑scale weakly supervised training, and the model achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance on the ABO‑500 dataset while running 27× faster than previous methods.

Learning Explicit Physical Parameter Control and Benchmarking for Video Generation

Recent advances in image-to-video generation have improved visual realism, making physically grounded and controllable dynamics an important step toward future world simulation. Current models often generate plausible motion, but it is not reliably governed by explicit physical causes, and instance-level constraints can leak or become entangled in multi-object interactions.
