HiQGS: Hierarchical Spatiotemporal Querying for Feed-Forward Gaussian Reconstruction

HiQGS is a query-based hierarchical framework that performs feed-forward Gaussian reconstruction from sparse monocular frames. It introduces a Hierarchical Spatiotemporal Encoder that organizes multi-resolution visual features by image location, observation time, and camera pose, preserving complementary appearance and structural cues. A Time-Adaptive Decoder then uses target timestamp queries to retrieve relevant spatiotemporal evidence and predict the corresponding Gaussian scene state, achieving strong rendering quality and geometric accuracy on static and dynamic scene benchmarks.

UniQueR: Unified Query-based Feedforward 3D Reconstruction

UniQueR is a unified query‑based feedforward framework that reconstructs 3D scenes from unposed images by treating reconstruction as a sparse 3D query inference problem. It learns a compact set of 3D anchor points that serve as explicit geometric queries, allowing the network to infer scene structure—including occluded geometry—in a single forward pass. By encoding spatial and appearance priors directly in global 3D space and using a decoupled cross‑attention design, UniQueR achieves strong geometric expressiveness while reducing memory and computational cost, outperforming state‑of‑the‑art feedforward methods on Mip‑NeRF 360 and VR‑NeRF with far fewer primitives.

Driving with DINO: Vision Foundation Features as a Unified Bridge for Sim-to-Real Generation in Autonomous Driving

The paper introduces Driving with DINO (DwD), a framework that uses Vision Foundation Module (VFM) features to bridge simulation and real-world domains for autonomous driving video generation. It addresses the consistency‑realism dilemma by projecting VFM features onto a principal subspace, dropping high‑frequency texture elements, and applying a Random Channel Tail Drop to preserve structural detail. Additional components— a learnable Spatial Alignment Module and a Causal Temporal Aggregator— enhance control precision, spatial alignment, and temporal stability, reducing motion blur and ensuring realistic, consistent outputs.
