Anchor3R: Streaming 3D Reconstruction with Transient Anchors for Long-Horizon Visual Mapping

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.

PURE: Refining Feed-forward 3D Reconstruction with Unlabeled Post-training

PURE is an unlabeled post‑training refinement framework that enhances feed‑forward 3D reconstruction models by improving depth and camera estimation without ground‑truth supervision. It distills structural knowledge from state‑of‑the‑art 2D priors into 4D architectures, using relative depth constraints, affine‑invariant geometry distillation, and pose refinement via feature correspondences. Experiments on synthetic and real‑world dynamic benchmarks show consistent improvements across multiple state‑of‑the‑art models, effectively mitigating domain shifts and unlocking their architectural limits in challenging in‑the‑wild scenes.

Aligning Misaligned Benchmarks for Single-View Novel View Synthesis

The paper addresses the lack of standardized evaluation for single‑view novel view synthesis by highlighting the importance of aligning a method’s reference frame with the ground‑truth camera pose. It proposes using traditional 2D‑to‑2D and 2D‑to‑3D image matching to align 3D reconstructions and restricts evaluation to co‑visible regions where a correct ground truth exists. Experiments show that with proper alignment, 3D Gaussian‑based methods reach state‑of‑the‑art performance, and a simple baseline using a video generator and geometry estimator matches specialized novel‑view synthesis models without task‑specific training.
